Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
 करणें तें हें चि करा । नरका अघोरा कां जातां॥1॥
 जयामध्यें नारायण । शुद्धपण तें एक ॥ध्रु.॥
 शरणागतां देव राखे। येरां वाखे विघ्नाचे ॥2॥
 तुका ह्मणे लीन व्हावें । कळे भावें वर्म हें ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Do this one thing and no other; why go to the dreadful hell? That alone is purity in which Narayana dwells. God protects those who surrender; all others face the storms of obstacles. Says Tuka, one must become humble. Through devotion alone does this secret become clear.
