गाथा 926The Necessity of Experience

Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram

मराठी मूळ

भवसिंधूचें हें तारूं । मज विचारूं पाहातां ॥1॥

चित्तीं तुझे धरिन पाय । सुख काय तें तेथें ॥ध्रु.॥

माझ्या खुणा मनापाशीं। तें या रसीं बुडालें ॥2॥

तुका ह्मणे वर्म आलें । हातां भलें हें माझ्या ॥3॥

Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)

English Translation

When I consider it, this is the vessel to cross the ocean of existence. I shall hold Your feet in my chitta; all happiness resides there. My inner marks are with the mind, and that mind is drowned in this bliss. Says Tuka, the secret has come into my hands. This is my good fortune.

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