गाथा 4440The Necessity of Experience

Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram

मराठी मूळ

जिकडे पाहें तिकडे उभा । अवघ्या गगनाचा गाभा॥ 1 ॥

डोळां बैसलें बैसलें । रूप राहोनि संचलें ॥ध्रु.॥

न वजिऩतां दाही दिशा । जिकडे पाहें तिकडे सरिसा ॥2॥

तुका ह्मणे समपदीं । उभा दिठीचिये आधीं ॥3॥

Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)

English Translation

Wherever I look, He stands. He is the very essence of the entire sky. He has settled into my eyes and remains there, pervading all. Without excluding any of the ten directions, He is equally present wherever I gaze. Says Tuka, He stands at the level of perfect equality, right before my sight.

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