Abhanga 3237

When you're worn out from being swept along by repeated struggle and illusion, ask directly to be pulled free rather than fighting the current alone.

The verse

बहु जन्मांतरें फेरे । केले येरे सोडवीं ॥१॥ आळवितों करुणाकरे । विश्वंभरे दयाळे ॥ध्रु.॥ वाहवतों मायापुरीं । येथें करीं कुढावा ॥२॥ तुका म्हणे दुजा कोण । ऐसा सीण निवारी ॥३॥
