राम
गाथा 1583The Necessity of Experience

Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha

मराठी मूळ

ह्मणवितों दास । परि मी असें उदास ॥1॥

हा चि निश्चय माझा । परि मी निश्चयाहुनि दुजा ॥ध्रु.॥

सरतें कर्तुत्व माझ्यानें । परि मी त्याही हून भिन्न ॥2॥

Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)

English Translation

I call myself a servant, yet I am truly detached. This is my firm conviction, yet I stand apart even from that conviction. All capacity for action belongs to me, yet I am distinct from even that.
