गाथा 2575The Necessity of Experience

Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram

मराठी मूळ

नभोमय जालें जळ । एकीं सकळ हरपलें ॥1॥

आतां काय सारासारी । त्याच्या लहरी तयांत ॥ध्रु.॥

कैचा तेथ यावा सांडी । आप कोंडी आपण्यां ॥2॥

तुका ह्मणे कल्प जाला। अस्त गेला उदय ॥3॥

Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)

English Translation

Water has become one with the sky; everything has merged into a single unity. What need is there now for any sorting? Its waves belong to it alone. How can any separation arise? The self contains the self. Says Tuka, a cosmic cycle has turned; the setting has become the rising.

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