Abhanga 225

English: Everything is given to everyone — look toward me.

The verse

Literal translation

What it means

A plead-when-overlooked abhang. Five movements:

1. अवघें अवघीकडे — दिलें पाहे मजकडे — अशा सवंगडे — सहित थोरी लागली — everything-to-everyone — look toward me — with such companions — greatness was attached. The opening complaint: everything has been distributed to everyone — look toward me. Such companions — thoroughness has been attached (= the deity has thoroughly gone-through-everyone). The bhakta is asking to be looked-toward.

2. कां रे धरिला अबोला — माझा वांटा देईं मला — सिदोरीचा केला झाडा — आतां निवडे ना — why are you silent? give my share. The shidori's jhāḍā (separation) was made — now does not separate. The direct-protest: why are you silent toward me? And the technical-claim: the shidori's jhāḍā (the formal-distribution) was already made; now-it-doesn't-separate. (= the formal portions are out, but my-portion-is-not-separating-out-to-me.)

3. भूक लागली अनंता — कां रे नेणसी जाणतां — भागलों वळितां — गाई सैरा ओढाळा — hunger has come, Ananta — why don't you know, knowing-one — I am tired turning the loose, stubborn cows. The escalation. Ananta (the infinite-one) is jāṇātām (the knowing-one). The contradiction is named: you-the-knowing-one — why don't you know my hunger? And the labor-claim: I am tired from turning the loose-stubborn cows. The bhakta has worked, is hungry, is overlooked — and calls out the contradiction.

4. तुका करुणा भाकी — हरि पाहे गोळा टाकी — Tuka pleads in karuṇā — Hari sees, throws the gōḷā. The response-mechanism. Tuka pleads in karuṇā (compassion-language, in pleading-mode); Hari sees and throws the gōḷā (the ball / morsel). Karuṇā-bhāke triggers gōḷā-throw.

5. घेता जाला सुखी — भीतरी वांटी आणीकां — having taken — became joyful — from inside, distributes (to) others. The post-receipt move. The bhakta takes, becomes joyful, and distributes from inside-himself to others. The receive-and-redistribute circulation. The bhakta does not hoard the gōḷā; he distributes from inside. (Compare 178's navavidha-navanīta covert raid — receiving and distributing to the band.)

For someone today

This abhang names a direct-protest-and-redistribute cycle:

1. If overlooked, plead*. Mājhā vānṭā deīm malā. Don't suffer-overlook in silence. The bhakta protests directly — give my share. This is not unspiritual; it is honest*.

2. Call out the knower's* silence. Ananta — kām re neṇasī jāṇatām? When the omniscient is silent toward your hunger, call out the contradiction. You-who-know — why don't you know? The direct-call-out is part of the bhakti-relationship; it is not blasphemy. The Ananta can handle* the call-out.

3. Ground the plea in concrete-labor. Bhāgalōm vaḷitām — gāī sairā oḍhāḷā. The plea is grounded in concrete-labor: I am tired from turning the stubborn cows. Don't make abstract-spiritual-pleas; ground them in what you actually did.

4. Karuṇā-bhāke triggers gōḷā-throw. When you plead in karuṇā-language (compassion-mode, dependent-mode, vulnerability-displayed), the deity throws the gōḷā. The karuṇā-mode is the pleading-protocol.

5. Receive-and-redistribute from inside. Bhītarī vāmṭī āṇīkā. Having received the gōḷā — don't hoard. Distribute from inside to others. The receiving-purpose is to be a re-distribution-channel. (Compare 187's sokaḷa-sokaḷaviṭō — having become practiced, makes-others-practiced.)

For today: protest the overlook, call out the contradiction directly, ground in concrete-labor, plead in karuṇā-mode, redistribute from inside. The pleading is not weakness; it is the protocol.

मराठी: ही ओवी एक direct-protest-and-redistribute cycle नाव सांगते:

1. Overlook झाला — plead* करा. माझा वांटा देईं मला. Silently overlook सहन करू नका. Bhakta directly protest करतो — माझा वांटा द्या. Unspiritual नाही; honest*.

2. Knower च्या silence ला call-out करा. अनंता — कां रे नेणसी जाणतां? Omniscient तुमच्या hunger ला silent असेल — contradiction call-out करा. जो जाणतोस — न-कळणं कसं? Direct-call-out bhakti-relationship चा भाग; blasphemy नाही. Ananta call-out handle करू शकतो.

3. Plea ला concrete-labor मध्ये ground करा. भागलों वळितां — गाई सैरा-ओढाळा. Plea concrete-labor मध्ये grounded: stubborn cows turn करताना थकलोय. Abstract-spiritual-pleas करू नका; जे actually केलं त्यात ground करा.

4. करुणा-भाक्याने गोळा-throw* trigger होतो. Karuṇā-language (compassion-mode, dependent-mode, vulnerability-displayed) मध्ये plead करा — देव गोळा throw करतो. Karuṇā-mode pleading-protocol*.

5. भीतरून receive-and-redistribute. भीतरी वांटी आणीकां. गोळा receive केला — hoard करू नका. भीतरून इतरांना distribute करा. Receiving-purpose re-distribution-channel व्हायचं.

आज: Overlook protest करा, contradiction directly call-out करा, concrete-labor मध्ये ground करा, karuṇā-mode मध्ये plead करा, भीतरून redistribute करा. Pleading weakness नाही; protocol.

Where this applies

• Overlook → plead. Don't suffer in silence.
• Call-out the knower's silence. Direct contradiction.
• Ground in concrete-labor. Not abstract.
• Karuṇā-mode triggers the throw. Pleading-protocol.
• Redistribute from inside. Don't hoard.
