राम
गाथा 4311The Necessity of Experience

Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha

मराठी मूळ

आनंदाचा कंद गाइयेला गीतीं । पाहियेला चित्तीं देवराव ॥1॥

देवराव तो ही आहे निश्चयेसीं । अखंड नामासी बोलवितो ॥2॥

बोलवितो मज कृपा तो करूनि । तुका ह्मणे मनीं धरा भाव ॥3॥

Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)

English Translation

The root of all bliss has been sung in song. The Lord has been seen within the heart. That Lord is truly present; He continually inspires the chanting of the Name. He makes me speak, bestowing His grace. Says Tuka, hold this devotion in your heart.
