गाथा 1289The Necessity of Experience

Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha

मराठी मूळ

देह नव्हे मी हें सरे । उरला उरे विठ्ठल ॥1॥

ह्मणऊनि लाहो करा । काळ सारा चिंतनें ॥ध्रु.॥

तुका ह्मणे जीवासाटीं । देव पोटीं पडेल ॥3॥

Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)

English Translation

When the realization dawns that 'I am not this body,' only Vitthala remains. Therefore take advantage and spend your time in contemplation. Says Tuka, for the sake of the soul, God will enter your heart.
