Abhanga 2523
For today: Dēva knows inner, removes fear; held by hand, separates from sorrow .
When you feel the urge to justify yourself before anyone has asked.
When you are anxious and want to be understood without explaining everything.
When you are grieving and need to feel held rather than fixed.
The verse
होइल तरि पुसापुसी । उत्तर त्यासी योजावें ॥१॥ तोंवरि मी पुढें कांहीं । आपुलें नाहीं घालीत ॥ध्रु.॥ जाणेनियां अंतर देव । जेव्हां भेव फेडील ॥२॥ तुका म्हणे धरिला हातीं । करील खंतीवेगळें ॥३॥
Literal translation
If there's questioning — answer arranged. Until then, I don't put forth my own. Dēva knowing the inner — when he removes fear. Tuka says: held by hand — will separate from sorrow.
What it means

Where this applies
- When you feel pressured to explain or defend yourself before anyone has even asked.
- When anxiety keeps circling and you wish someone would understand you without needing words.
- When fear or grief feels like it won't loosen its grip on you.
- When you're waiting on an answer to a hard situation and don't yet know what to say.
