राम
गाथा 1417The Necessity of Experience

Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram

मराठी मूळ

येथूनियां ठाव । अवघे लक्षायाचे भाव ॥1॥

उंची देवाचे चरण । तेथें जालें अधिष्ठान ॥ध्रु.॥

आघातावेगळा । असे ठाव हा निराळा ॥2॥

तुका ह्मणे स्थळ । धरूनि राहिलों अचळ ॥3॥

Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)

English Translation

From this place onward, all aims and intentions become clear. The feet of God are the highest point; that is where my foundation has been established. This place is free from all assault, standing wholly apart. Says Tuka, I have taken my stand in this unshaking place and will not be moved.

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