गाथा 585The Necessity of Experience

Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram

मराठी मूळ

येथील हा ठसा । गेला पडोनियां ऐसा ॥१॥

घरीं देवाचे अबोला । त्याची ते चि सवे त्याला ॥ध्रु॥.

नाहीं पाहावें लागत । एकाएकीं च ते रित ॥२॥

तुका म्हणे जन । तयामध्यें येवढें भिन्न ॥३॥

Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)

English Translation

The imprint of this place has fallen upon me and remains. In the house of God there is a silence; his company is his own way with him. One does not need to look for it; it comes naturally of its own accord. Says Tuka, among all these people, this one difference is immense.

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