गाथा 948The Necessity of Experience

Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram

मराठी मूळ

निर्गुणाचे घ्यावें गुणासी दर्शन । एकाएकीं भिन्न भेद घडे ॥1॥

तुह्मां आह्मां आतां न पडे यावरी । आहों तें चि बरी जेथें तेथें ॥ध्रु.॥

आपणापासुनी नसावें अंतर । वेचिलें उत्तर ह्मणउनि ॥2॥

तुका ह्मणे अंगा आली कठिन्यता । आमच्या अनंता तुह्मां ऐसी ॥3॥

Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)

English Translation

The nirguna must take darshan of the saguna. Suddenly, separateness and difference arise. Between You and me, no such thing falls now. We are as we are, wherever we are. There should be no distance from one's own self. The answer has been spent, and so it is. Says Tuka, firmness has come upon this body. Our Ananta, such is Your nature.

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