Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
आतां माझा नेणों परतों भाव । विसावोनि पायीं ठेविला जीव । सकळां लाभांचा हा ठाव । ऐसा वाव जाला चित्ताठायीं ॥1॥
भांडवल गांठी तरि विश्वास । जालों तों जालों निश्चय दास । न पाहें मागील ते वास । पुढती सोस सेवेचा ची ॥ध्रु.॥
आहे तें निवेदिलें सर्व । मी हें माझें मोडियला गर्व । अकाळीं काळ अवघें पर्व । जाला भरवसा कृपेलाभाचा ॥2॥
वेव्हारीं वेव्हारा अनंत । नाहीं यावांचुनी जाणत । तरी हें समाधान चित्त । लाभहानी नाहीं येत अंतरा ॥3॥
करूनि नातळों संसारा । अंग भिन्न राखिला पसारा । कळवळा तो जीवनीं खरा । बीजाचा थारा दुरी आघात ॥4॥
बहु मतापासूनि निराळा । होऊनि राहिलों सोंवळा । बैसल्या रूपाचा कळवळा । तुका ह्मणे डोळां लेइलों तें ॥5॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Now I do not know whether my devotion will turn back. Having found rest, I have placed my life at Your feet. This is the abode of all gains; such spaciousness has opened in my heart. My capital is faith. What has happened has happened; I have become Your servant with certainty. I will not look back at the past; from here on, my only longing is for service. I have offered everything I had; I have broken the pride of "I" and "mine." Every season has become auspicious; confidence in receiving Your grace has taken root. In worldly dealings, O Infinite One, I know nothing other than You, yet my mind is at peace. Gain or loss does not disturb my depths. I perform the duties of the world yet remain untouched, keeping the body separate from the soul's inner life. The seed's sprout is kept far from harm. I have become free from all doctrines and opinions, remaining pure. Says Tuka, the beauty of that form has entered my eyes, and I am adorned with it.
