Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
विश्वास धरूनि राहिलों निवांत । ठेवूनियां चित्त तुझे पायीं ॥1॥
तरावें बुडावें तुझिया वचनें । निर्धार हा मनें केला माझा॥ध्रु.॥
न कळे हें मज साच चाळविलें । देसी तें उगलें घेइन देवा ॥2॥
मागणें तें सरे ऐसें करीं देवा । नाहीं तरी सेवा सांगा पुढें॥3॥
करावें कांहीं कीं पाहावें उगलें । तुका ह्मणे बोलें पांडुरंगा॥4॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
I rest in quiet faith, having placed my mind at Your feet. Whether I am saved or drowned, it is by Your word. This is the firm resolve I have made in my heart. I cannot tell whether You are guiding me truly or leading me astray. Whatever You give, I shall accept it silently, O God. Grant me what I ask so that asking itself may end. If not, then tell me what service lies ahead. Says Tuka, should I do something, or should I simply watch in silence? Speak, O Panduranga.
