राम
गाथा 328The Necessity of Experience

Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha

मराठी मूळ

शोधिसील मूळें । त्याचें करीसी वाटोळें ॥१॥

ऐसे संतांचे बोभाट । तुझे बहु जाले तट ॥ध्रु.॥

लौकिका बाहेरी । घाली रोंखीं जया धरी ॥२॥

तुका म्हणे गुण । तुझा लागलिया शून्य ॥३॥

Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)

English Translation

When you search anything to its root, you destroy it utterly. Such is the outcry of the saints: your shores of argument are too many. You cast beyond all worldly convention whoever you seize. Says Tuka, once your quality takes hold, everything else becomes nothing.
