गाथा 2787The Necessity of Experience

Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram

मराठी मूळ

हा गे माझा अनुभव । भिHभाव भाग्याचा ॥1॥

केला ॠणी नारायण । नव्हे क्षण वेगळा ॥ध्रु.॥

घालोनियां भार माथा। अवघी चिंता वारली ॥2॥

तुका ह्मणे वचन साटीं । नाम कंठीं धरोनि ॥3॥

Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)

English Translation

This is my experience: devotion is the fortune of the blessed. I have made Narayana my debtor; He is never apart from me for even a moment. Having placed the entire burden on His head, all worry has vanished. Says Tuka, holding the Name in my throat, I have fulfilled His promise.

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