Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
एक मन तुझ्या अवघ्या भांडवला । वांटितां तें तुला येइऩ कैसें ॥1॥
ह्मणउनि दृढ धरीं पांडुरंग । देहा लावीं संग प्रारब्धाचा ॥ध्रु.॥
आणिका संकल्पा नको गोऊं मन । तरी च कारण साध्य होय ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे ऐसें जाणावें उचित । तरी सहज िस्थत येइऩल कळों ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
You have one mind as your entire capital. If you divide it among many, how will it serve you? Therefore hold firmly to Panduranga and let the body follow the course of destiny. Do not entangle the mind in other plans, for only then can the true goal be achieved. Says Tuka, know this to be the proper way, and the natural state will reveal itself.
