राम
गाथा 702The Necessity of Experience

Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha

मराठी मूळ

ब्रह्म न लिंपे त्या मेळें । कर्माअकर्मा वेगळें ॥1॥

तो चि एक तया जाणे । पावे अनुभविलें खुणें ॥ध्रु.॥

शोच अशौचाचे संधी । तन आळा तना चि मधीं ॥2॥

पापपुण्यां नाहीं ठाव । तुका ह्मणे सहज भाव ॥3॥

Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)

English Translation

Brahman is untouched by any association, separate from both action and inaction. Only that one knows It who has experienced It directly and recognized Its signs. The boundary between purity and impurity lies within the body itself. Says Tuka, where sin and merit have no place, there abides the natural state.
