राम
गाथा 3100The Necessity of Experience

Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha

मराठी मूळ

माझा पाहा अनुभव । केला देव आपुला ॥1॥

बोलविलें तें चि द्यावें । उत्तर व्हावें ते काळीं ॥ध्रु.॥

सोडिलिया जग निंद्य । मग गोविंद ह्मणियारा ॥2॥

तुका ह्मणे धीर केला । तेणें याला गोविलें ॥3॥

Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)

English Translation

See my own experience: I have made God my own. Whatever He prompts me to speak, that answer must come forth at the right time. Once I let go of the world's approval, Govinda became my constant companion. Says Tuka, I held firm patience, and by that I won Him over.
