गाथा 2061The Necessity of Experience

Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha

मराठी मूळ

फळाची तों पोटीं । घडे वियोगें ही भेटी ॥1॥

करावें चिंतन । सार तें चि आठवण ॥ध्रु.॥

चित्त चित्ता ग्वाही । उपचारें चाड नाहीं ॥2॥

तुका ह्मणे देवा । पावे ंतरींची सेवा॥3॥ ॥15॥

Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)

English Translation

Within the fruit itself, even through separation, the meeting takes place. The essence is contemplation, the remembrance itself. The heart bears witness to the heart; external gestures are unnecessary. Says Tuka, O God, inner devotion reaches You.
