Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
मराठी मूळ
जन विजन जालें आम्हां । विठ्ठलनामा प्रमाणें ॥१॥
पाहें तिकडे बापमाय । विठ्ठल आहे रखुमाई ॥ध्रु.॥
वन पट्टण एकभाव । अवघा ठाव सरता जाला ॥२॥
आठव नाहीं सुखदुःखा । नाचे तुका कौतुकें ॥३॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Populated or solitary, it is the same to us, for the name of Vitthal is the measure of all. Wherever I look, the Father and Mother are there: Vitthal is there, Rakhumai is there. Forest and city hold one feeling; every place has become sufficient. No memory remains of pleasure or pain. Tuka dances in wonder.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
The Necessity of Experience
Why direct experience of God, not mere learning, is the only path.
