राम
गाथा 601The Necessity of Experience

Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha

मराठी मूळ

एक वेळ प्रायिश्चत्त । केलें चित्त मुंडण ॥1॥

अहंकारा नांवें दोष । त्याचें ओस पाडिले ॥ध्रु.॥

अनुतापें स्नानविधि । यYासििद्ध देहहोम ॥2॥

जीवशिवा होतां चुका । तेथें तुका विनटला ॥3॥

Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)

English Translation

Once and for all I performed the expiation: I shaved the head of my mind. The fault called ego has been laid waste and emptied out. Through remorse I performed the ritual bath; through the sacrifice of this body I completed the rite. When the error between the individual soul and the Supreme Soul was resolved, Says Tuka, I merged into that very place.
