Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
अंधळें तें सांगे सांगितल्या खुणा । अनुभव देखणा प्रगट त्या ॥1॥
नांदणुक सांगे वडिलाचें बळ । कैसा तो दुर्बळ सुख पावे ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे नांदों आपल्या प्रतापें । तयासी लोकांपें स्तुती सांगों ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
A blind person can only repeat signs told to him, but one who sees speaks from direct experience. One who describes prosperity by invoking the power of ancestors shows how even a weak person finds comfort that way. Says Tuka, we shall live by our own merit and speak of it to the people with praise.

The Necessity of Experience
Why direct experience of God, not mere learning, is the only path.
