Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
देव आतां आह्मीं केला असे ॠणी । आणिका वांचूनि काय गुंता ॥1॥
एकाचें आर्जव करू एकनिष्ठ । आणिकांचा बोभाट कामा नये ॥ध्रु.॥
बहुतांचे आर्जव केलिया खटपट । नाहीं हा शेवट शुद्ध होत ॥2॥
पुरता विचार आणोनी मानसीं । अंतरलों सर्वासि पइप देखा ॥3॥
तुका ह्मणे देवा चरणीं असो भाव । तेणें माझा जीव संतोष हा ॥4॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
I have now placed God in my debt. What other entanglement is there? I devote myself single-mindedly to the One; the clamor of others is of no use. Trying to please many only leads to confusion and never reaches a pure conclusion. Having thought it over thoroughly, I have distanced myself from all else. Says Tuka, let my devotion rest at God's feet; that alone is my contentment.
