गाथा 1503The Necessity of Experience

Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram

मराठी मूळ

अवघीं भूतें साम्या आलीं । देखिलीं म्यां कैं होतीं ॥1॥

विश्वास तो खरा मग । पांडुरंगकृपेचा ॥ध्रु.॥

माझी कोणी न धरो शंका ।हो कां लोकां निद्वपद्व ॥2॥

तुका ह्मणे जें जें भेटे । तें तें वाटे मी ऐसें ॥3॥

Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)

English Translation

All beings have come to a state of equality before my eyes. When did I ever see them otherwise? That is true faith, born of Panduranga's grace. Let no one doubt me, no matter what the world says, whether in blame or praise. Says Tuka, whatever I encounter, I feel it as myself.

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