Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
एकाएकीं हातोफळी । ठाया बळी पावले ते ॥1॥
आह्मी देवा शिHहीनें । भाकुं तेणें करुणा ॥ध्रु.॥
पावटणी केला काळ । जया बळ होतें तें ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे वीर्यावीर । संतधीर समुद्र ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Those mighty ones who achieved their goal single-handedly, by their own strength, reached that exalted place in an instant. We who are powerless, O God, can only plead for Your mercy. Those who had strength made even time their stepping stone. Says Tuka, the saints are heroes of valor, steady as the ocean.

The Saints
The character and service of true saints: softer than butter, harder than diamond.
