Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
 हातपाय मिळोनि मेळा । चला ह्मणती पाहों डोळां॥1॥
 देखणी नव्हे देखती कैसे । सकळांचा देखणा डोळा चि असे ॥2॥
 डोऑयाचा डोळा पाहों गेला । तुका ह्मणे तो पाहों ठेला ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
The hands, feet, and all the limbs gathered together and said, "Come, let us go and see with our own eyes." But the eyes are not the true seer; how then do they see? The one who truly sees is the eye behind all eyes. Says Tuka, the eye that went to see the Eye of all eyes was itself absorbed in the seeing.

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