Abhanga 2568
For today: eager for śaraṇāgata's task — Kēśī-rāja runs hearing .
When you are carrying a burden you do not know how to set down
When you doubt that surrender and faith actually make a difference in real life
When you call out for help and need confidence that it is already on its way
The verse
नाहीं होत भार घातल्या उदास । पुरवावी आस सकळ ही ॥१॥ ऐसा नाहीं मज एकाचा अनुभव । धरिला तो भाव उद्धरलें ॥ध्रु.॥ उतावीळ असे शरणागतकाजें । धांव केशीराजे आइकतां ॥२॥ तुका म्हणे हित चिंतन भरवंसा । नेदी गर्भवासा येऊं देवा ॥३॥
Literal translation
No burden, placed-with-udāsa — fulfill all hopes. Not just my one-anubhava — held bhāva uplifted. Eager for śaraṇāgata's task — run, Kēśī-rāja, hearing. Tuka says: welfare-contemplation, confidence — won't let garbha-vāsa come.
