गाथा 1336The Necessity of Experience

Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha

मराठी मूळ

ठेविलें जतन । करूनियां निज धन ॥1॥

जयापासाव उत्पित्त । तें हें बीज धरिलें हातीं ॥ध्रु.॥

निवडिलें वरळा भूस । सार आइन जिनस ॥2॥

तुका ह्मणे नारायण । भाग संचिताचा गुण ॥3॥

Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)

English Translation

That which is one's true wealth has been kept carefully preserved. The seed from which everything originates has been grasped in hand. The chaff has been winnowed away, and the genuine article, the pure grain, has been secured. Says Tuka, Narayana is the quality that comes from accumulated merit.
