मराठी मूळ · गाथा 1333

जग अवघें देव । मुख्य उपदेशाची ठेव ॥1॥

आधीं आपणयां नासी । तरि उतरे ये कसीं ॥ध्रु.॥

ब्रह्मYाानाचें कोठार । तें हें निश्चयें उत्तर ॥2॥

तुका ह्मणे ते उन्मनी । नास कारया कारणीं ॥3॥

Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)

English Translation · I.P. 199

THE world is all God ; true, but the chief thing needed is good advice. First, destroy yourself, then you will paSs this test. You have gained the treasure of divine knowledge, when you can speak confidently on this point. Tuka says, This is the fifth stage of emancipation, when you see the effect absorbed into the cause.
