राम
गाथा 3304The Necessity of Experience

Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha

मराठी मूळ

बोलावें तें आतां आह्मी अबोलणे । एका चि वचनें सकळांसी ॥1॥

मेघदृिष्ट कांहीं न विचारी ठाव । जैसा ज्याचा भाव त्यासी फळो ॥2॥

तुका ह्मणे नाहीं समाधानें चाड । आपणा ही नाड पुढिलांसीं ॥3॥

Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)

English Translation

The speech I shall now speak is silence itself, one single word addressed to all. Like the rain cloud that does not choose where it falls, let each receive the fruit of his own devotion. Says Tuka, one who lacks inner peace misleads not only himself but others as well.
