गाथा 733The Necessity of Experience

Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram

मराठी मूळ

अक्षइऩ तें झालें । आतां न मोडे रचिलें ॥1॥

पाया पडिला खोले ठायीं । तेथें पुढें चाली नाहीं ॥ध्रु.॥

होतें विखुरलें । ताळा जमे झडती आलें ॥2॥

तुका ह्मणे बोली । पुढें कुंटित चि जाली ॥3॥

Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)

English Translation

What has been built is now imperishable; what has been established cannot be undone. The foundation has been laid deep, and there is no room to advance further in debate. What was scattered has now come into balance and alignment. Says Tuka, even speech has become humble and still before this.

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