राम
गाथा 1335The Necessity of Experience

Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram

मराठी मूळ

नाहीं येथें वाणी । सकळां वणाअ घ्यावी धणी ॥1॥

जालें दर्पणाचें अंग । ज्याचा त्यासी दावी रंग ॥ध्रु.॥

तुका खळे दाणीं । करी बैसोनी वांटणी ॥3॥

Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)

English Translation

Here, speech itself falls silent; no voice can satisfy all who hear. It has become like a mirror: it shows each person their own color. Says Tuka, I sit at the threshing floor and give out the grain to each according to their measure.

We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
