Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
त्याग तंव मज न वजतां केला । कांहीं च विठ्ठला मनांतूनि ॥1॥
भागलिया आला उबग सहज । न धरितां काज जालें मनीं ॥ध्रु.॥
देह जड जालें ॠणाच्या आभारें । केलें संवसारें कासावीस ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे गेला आळसकिळस । अकर्तव्य दोष निवारिले ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Renunciation came to me without even trying, O Vitthal. I did not cast anything out of my mind deliberately. Exhaustion itself bred disgust, and detachment arose naturally in the heart. The body had grown heavy under the burden of obligations; worldly life had made me miserable. Says Tuka, laziness, apathy, and the tendency toward wrongdoing have all been removed.
