Abhanga 209

This abhang names post-rescue access-rules:

The verse

Literal translation

What it means

A post-rescue access-rules abhang. Five claims:

1. काल्याचिये आसे — देव जळीं जाले मासे — in kālā-desire, the devas became fish in water. The cosmic-deities — desperate for the kālā — transformed into fish to enter the water (where the gopa-children played). The establishment-deities are reduced to desperate aquatic-form by the kālā-ās. (Compare 200's gods cannot get the ucchiṣṭa.)

2. पुसोनियां हांसे — टिरीसांगातें हात — wipes-and-laughs, hands behind. Krishna's post-rescue mood — wiping (the food off the face?), laughing, hands-at-the-back. Casual, victorious, post-feast.

3. लाजे त्यासि वांटा नाहीं — दीन होतां कांहीं होऊं नेदी वेगळें — the shamed-one has no share — but if (anyone) becomes meek, (he) does not let (them) be apart. The paradox: the lāje (shame-feeling, ashamed-of-being-here) gets no share — because shame keeps you outside. But the dīna (meek, lowly, who recognizes lowliness without shame) is not let to be apart. The distinction is sharp:

4. Lāja (shame) = self-reproach that keeps you outside the feast
5. Dīna (meek) = honest-lowliness that is included

6. The deity knows the antara — the interior intent — and sorts these accordingly.

7. उपाय अपाय यापुढें — हात उभे नुपेक्षी — beyond means-and-remedies; the standing-with-hands-joined is not deserted. The upāya-apāya (the technical-methods of attainment) is bypassed. What works is standing with hands joined. The posture of joining-hands-and-standing is what the deity does not overlook.

8. रसें प्रेमाचिया आनंदें — in the rasa, joy of love. The closing-image: the rasa (juice / essence / aesthetic-flavor) is prema-ānanda (love-joy).

For someone today

This abhang names post-rescue access-rules:

1. Even cosmic-deities are reduced to desperate-form by kālā-desire. Don't think the establishment-deities are above longing for real-presence-feast. They desperately want it. (And if even they want it, your access to it is not the bottleneck.)

2. Shame keeps you outside; honest-lowliness lets you in. The distinction is precise. Lāja — self-reproach that performs shame — gets no share. Dīna — honest meekness without performance — is not let to be apart. Examine your own register.

3. The deity knows the antara*. Jāṇē antarīcē tē hī. Don't try to posture* your way in. The interior-intent is read.

4. Method is irrelevant; posture is everything. Upāya-apāya yāpuḍhē — hāta ubhē nupekṣī. The technical-methods of attainment are beyond (= bypassed). What is actually-attended-to is the posture of standing with hands joined. Stop method-shopping; stand with hands joined.

5. Take it leisurely — whoever has it favored, that way. Tē ghyā re sāvakāśē — jayā fāveḷa to taisē. The reception is unhurried; each receives in their own way. Don't rush; don't compare.

For today: drop shame-performance and let honest-meekness show; abandon method-shopping and stand with hands joined; take it unhurriedly; trust that the interior is read.

मराठी: ही ओवी post-rescue access-rules नाव सांगते:

1. Cosmic-deities पण कालाच्या-इच्छेने desperate-form ला reduce होतात. Establishment-deities real-presence-feast च्या ओढीच्या वर आहेत असं समजू नका. त्यांनाही desperately हवं असतं. (आणि त्यांनाही हवं असेल — तुमची access bottleneck नाही.)

2. लाज बाहेर ठेवते; honest-lowliness आत आणते. Distinction अचूक. लाज — shame perform करणारं self-reproach — वांटा नाही. दीन — performance शिवाय honest meekness — वेगळं होऊ देत नाही. स्वतःचा register तपासा.

3. देव अंतरीचें* जाणतो. जाणे अंतरीचें तें ही. Posture* करून आत येण्याचा प्रयत्न करू नका. Interior-intent read होतं.

4. Method irrelevant; posture सर्व. उपाय अपाय यापुढें — हात उभे नुपेक्षी. Technical-methods बायपास (पलीकडे). Actually-attended-to — हात जोडून उभे राहणं. Method-shopping थांबवा; हात जोडून उभे राहा.

5. Leisurely घ्या — whoever has it favored, in that manner. तें घ्या रे सावकाशें — जया फावेल तो तैसें. Reception unhurried; प्रत्येक आपल्या पद्धतीने मिळवतो. Rush नका; compare नका.

आज: लाज-perform सोडा आणि honest-meekness दिसू द्या; method-shopping सोडा आणि हात जोडून उभे राहा; unhurriedly घ्या; अंतर वाचलं जातं विश्वास ठेवा.

Where this applies

• Cosmic-deities desperate for kālā. Your access isn't the bottleneck.
• Shame keeps out; honest-meekness lets in. Distinguish the two.
• Standing-with-hands-joined. The posture, not the method.
