बोले तैसा चाले । त्याची वंदीन पाउले ॥
अंगे झाडीन अंगण । त्याचे दासत्व करीन ॥
त्याचा होईन किंकर । उभा ठाकेन जोडोनि कर ॥
तुका म्हणे देव । त्याचे चरणी माझा भाव ॥
"जो 'जसा बोलतो त्याप्रमाणेच वागतो' त्याच्या पाउलांचे मी वंदन करतो.
त्याच्या घराचे अंगण मी स्वतःच्या अंगाने झाडीन, त्याचा दास बनून राहीन.
त्याचा दास होऊन त्याच्या सेवेसाठी नेहमी त्याच्यासमोर हात जोडून उभा राहीन.
माझ्यासाठी तोच देव आहे आणि त्याच्या चरणीच माझा प्रेम भाव आहे."
This is among the most famous abhang of the Sant Tukaram. The line "बोले तैसा चाले । त्याची वंदीन पाउले ॥" meaning "I bow down to the one who walks his talk", is very well known and highly referenced in Marathi literature and in general life in Maharashtra.
He further says
"I'll clean the space in front of his house with my own body, I'll become a slave to him.
As his slave I'll stand in front of him with folded hands (waiting for orders; to serve him)"
Sant Tukaram is ready to become his slave, to serve him. He knows how rare it is to find such a person and how great and worshippable he is.
He further says, "He is God to me and I'll worship his lotus feet".
He is conveying the importance of this quality very earnestly here. He says such a person is like God himself. So, Walk the Talk!
