Abhanga 2516

Once real reconciliation happens, let the old tension go instead of clinging to leftover grudges that were never truly yours to keep.

When you make peace with someone after a long disagreement and can finally relax

When you notice yourself still nursing a grudge even though the conflict is over

When your prayers shift from complaint to quiet acceptance and gratitude

The verse

तुम्ही आम्ही भले आतां । जालों चिंता काशाची ॥१॥ आपुलाले आलों स्थळीं । मौन कळी वाढेना ॥ध्रु.॥ सहज जें मनीं होतें । तें उचितें घडलें ॥२॥ तुका म्हणे नसतें अंगा । येत संगा सारिखें ॥३॥

Literal translation

You and I — good now — what worry. Each came to own-place — silence-bud doesn't grow. Naturally what was in mind — became fitting. Tuka says: by mistaken-touch — what isn't comes, like company.

What it means

THE YOU-AND-I-GOOD-NOW RECONCILIATION ABHANG.

The reconciliation: tumhī āmhī bhalē ātām — jālōm chintā kāśāchī — you and I good now — what worry. You-and-I are-now good (= reconciled); what-worry remains? End-of-complaint-phase — comes after the protest-arcs (2484-2487).

[T]

For someone today

For today: you and I — good now — what worry.

Where this applies

When you've had a long argument or falling out with someone you love and finally reach peace
When you've been complaining to God about your troubles and feel the tension finally ease
When old resentment lingers even after a conflict is technically resolved
When you and another person have each found your own place and no longer need to keep proving a point
