राम
गाथा 1319The Necessity of Experience

Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha

मराठी मूळ

अनुभवें अनुभव अवघा चि साधिला । तरि िस्थरावला मनु ठायीं ॥1॥

पिटूनियां मुसे आला अळंकार । दग्ध तें असार होऊनियां ॥ध्रु.॥

तुका ह्मणे आह्मी जिंकिला संसार । होऊनि किंकर विठोबाचे ॥3॥

Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)

English Translation

Through experience upon experience, everything has been mastered. Then the mind became steadfast in its place. Like gold beaten in a mold and shaped into an ornament, the dross has been burned away. Says Tuka, we have conquered worldly life by becoming servants of Vithoba.
