राम
गाथा 2712The Necessity of Experience

Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram

मराठी मूळ

शकुनानें लाभ हानि । येथूनि च कळतसे ॥1॥

भयारूढ जालें मन । आतां कोण विश्वास ॥ध्रु.॥

तुका ह्मणे मोकलिलें । कळों आलें बरवें हें॥3॥

Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)

English Translation

By omens one can read profit and loss from the very start. The mind has grown fearful; what trust can remain now? Says Tuka, I have been released. At least this much has become clear.

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