Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
 देव जडला जाइना अंगा । यासी काय करूं सांगा॥1॥
 वरकड देव येती जाती । हा देव जन्माचा सांगाती ॥ध्रु.॥
 अंगीं भरलें देवाचें वारें । देव जग चि दिसे सारें ॥2॥
 भूत न बोले निरुतें। कांहीं केल्या न सुटे तें ॥3॥
 जीव खादला दैवतें । माझा आणि पंचभूतें ॥4॥
 तुका ह्मणे वाडें कोडें । उभें पुंडलिकापुढें॥5॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
God has become fixed in my being and will not leave. What shall I do about this, tell me? Other gods come and go, but this God is a companion for life. The wind of God has filled my body; the whole world appears as God. This spirit within me will not speak a false word; nothing can dislodge it. This deity has consumed my soul and the five elements. Says Tuka, with great joy, He stands before Pundalika.
