Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
 सर्वस्वाची साटी । तरि च देवासवें गांठी ॥1॥
 नाहीं तरी जया तैसा । भोग भोगवील इच्छा ॥ध्रु.॥
 द्यावें तें चिं घ्यावें । ह्मणउनि घ्यावें जीवें ॥2॥
 तुका ह्मणे उरी । मागें उगवितां बरी ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Only by staking everything does one forge a bond with God. Otherwise, one's desires will lead one through whatever experiences they dictate. What must be given must be given. That is why it must be offered with the whole life. Says Tuka, it is better to settle the account and leave nothing behind.
