गाथा 246The Necessity of Experience

Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha

मराठी मूळ

न देखोन कांहीं । म्या पाहिलें सकळ ही ॥१॥

जालों अवघियांपरी । मी हें माझें ठेलें दुरी ॥ध्रु.॥

न घेतां घेतलें । हातें पायें उसंतिलें ॥२॥

खादलें न खातां । रसना रस जाली घेतां ॥३॥

न बोलोनि बोलें । केलें प्रगट झांकिलें ॥४॥

नाइकिलें कानीं । तुका म्हणे आलें मनीं ॥५॥

ब्रम्हचारी फिर्याद गेला - अभंग २

Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)

English Translation

Without seeing anything, I have seen everything. I became one with all things, and the sense of me and mine fell away. Without taking, I have received; my hands and feet are at rest. Without eating, I have tasted; the tongue has become the very flavor. Without speaking, I have spoken; what was hidden has been made plain. Says Tuka, without hearing through the ears, it all entered the mind.
