Abhanga 2584
When you are worn out and struggling, trust that the one who loves you already understands your heart without needing everything spelled out.
When you are emotionally exhausted and want comfort instead of having to explain yourself
When you feel like you are acting out and need someone to respond with patience, not judgment
When you trust that someone who loves you can read what is left unsaid in your heart
The verse
आळी करावी ते कळतें बाळका । बुझवावें हें कां नेणां तुम्ही ॥१॥ निवाड तो तेथें असे पायांपाशीं । तुम्हांआम्हांविशीं एकेठायीं ॥ध्रु.॥ आणीक तों आम्ही न देखोंसें जालें । जाणावें शिणलें भागलेंसें ॥२॥ तुका म्हणे तुम्हां लागतें सांगावें । अंतरींचें ठावें काय नाहीं ॥३॥
Literal translation
Child knows how to make tantrum — won't you know how to pacify. Decision is there at feet — about you-and-us in one-place. We don't see other — know we are tired-exhausted. Tuka says: must we tell you — don't you know inner.
What it means
THE CHILD-TANTRUM-PACIFY ABHANG.
[T]
For someone today
For today: child knows tantrum — must Lord know how to pacify.
