Abhanga 948

This abhang names the beyond-doing register:

When by cintana, I stayed anxiety-free; how long to increase this? — and you have to recognize this register
When time of silence; no vacana-residue — and you accept this image
When as much as came was done quickly; no doubt remained — and you allow this image

The verse

चिंतनें अचिंत राहिलों निश्चळ । तें चि किती काळ वाढवावें ॥१॥ अबोल्याचा काळ आतां ऐशावरी । वचनाची उरी उरली नाहीं ॥ध्रु.॥ करूं आला तों तों केला लवलाहो । उरों च संदेहे दिला नाहीं ॥२॥ तुका म्हणे मोह परते चि ना मागें । म्हणउनि त्यागें त्याग जाला ॥३॥

Literal translation

English: Cintana — acinta — niścaḷa. Vāḍhavāvē. Abōlya — kāḷa. Vacana — urī — none. Lavalāhō. Sandēha — urōm — none. Tuka says: mōha — paratē — none. Tyāga — tyāga.

मराठी: चिंतनें अचिंत राहिलों निश्चळ — तें-च किती काळ वाढवावें?. अबोल्याचा काळ आतां ऐशा-वरी — वचनाची उरी उरली नाहीं. करूं आलें ते-तें लवलाहो (झटपट) केलें — संदेह उरों दिला नाहीं. Tuka म्हणे: मोह मागें परतत-च नाहीं — म्हणउनि त्यागें त्याग जाला.

What it means

A by-cintana-anxiety-free-niścaḷa-how-long-to-increase-time-of-silence-no-vacana-residue-action-quick-no-doubt-let-remain-mōha-doesn't-return-by-tyāga-tyāga-itself-achieved abhang. Beyond-doing register. Three claims:

  1. चिंतनें-अचिंत-निश्चळ — काळ-किती-वाढवावें — अबोल्या-काळ — वचन-उरी-नाहीं. Beyond-vacana-now-claim. By cintana, acinta, niścaḷa; how long extend?; now abōlya-kāḷa; no vacana-urī**.

  2. करूं-आलं-लवलाहो — संदेह-उरला-नाहीं. Action-fast-no-doubt-claim. As much came, done lavalāhō; sandēha — none-remained.

  3. Tuka: मोह-परत-नाहीं — त्यागें-त्याग. Tyāga-by-tyāga-claim. Tuka says: mōha doesn't return; by tyāga, tyāga itself achieved. Tyāga-of-tyāga (giving-up-the-very-act-of-renunciation).

For someone today

This abhang names the beyond-doing register:

  1. By cintana, anxiety-free; how long to increase this? No-more-cintana.

  2. Time of silence; no vacana residue. Beyond-vacana.

  3. Mōha doesn't return; tyāga itself achieved by tyāga. Tyāga-of-tyāga.

For today: by cintana, *acinta niścaḷa; how long vāḍhavāvē?; *abōlya-kāḷa; no vacana-urī; action lavalāhō, no sandēha; mōha doesn't paratē; by tyāga, tyāga achieved*.

This abhang is Tukaram's beyond-doing-tyāga-by-tyāga register — one of the most-precise post-attainment-letting-go statements. Compare 0885 attained-state (Tuka's mudra); same attainment but here organized through tyāga-of-tyāga. The tyāgē tyāga jālā (by tyāga, tyāga itself was achieved) is the precise letting-go-of-letting-go claim.

मराठी: ही ओवी beyond-doing register नाव सांगते:

  1. अचिंत-निश्चळ. No-more-cintana.

  2. अबोल्या-काळ. Beyond-vacana.

  3. त्यागें-त्याग. Tyāga-of-tyāga.

आज: Cintana — acinta niścaḷa; abōlya-kāḷa; vacana-urī नाहीं; Lavalāhō — sandēha नाहीं; Mōha परत नाहीं — tyāga-नं tyāga जाला*.

Tukaram च-beyond-doing-tyāga-by-tyāga-register — Most-precise post-attainment-letting-go statements पैकी एक. 0885 (Tuka mudra) compare; तीच attainment पण इथे tyāga-of-tyāga च्या मार्गाने. Tyāgē tyāga jālā precise letting-go-of-letting-go claim.
