राम
गाथा 752The Necessity of Experience

Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha

मराठी मूळ

एक भाव चित्तीं । तरीं न लगे कांहीं युक्ती ॥1॥

कळों आलें जीवें । मज माझियाचि भावें ॥ध्रु.॥

आठव चि पुरे । सुख अवघें मोहो रे ॥2॥

तुका ह्मणे मन । पूजा इच्छी नारायण ॥3॥

Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)

English Translation

When there is single-minded devotion in the heart, no technique or strategy is needed. I have come to know this through my own experience and my own feeling. Mere remembrance is enough; all joy arises from that alone. Says Tuka, the mind itself yearns to worship Narayana.
