Abhanga 3326
Take your devotion all the way to fullness without holding back, because the supply of grace is unlimited and the whole goal is already contained in the name itself.
The verse
आवडीच्या ऐसें जालें । मुखा आलें हरिनाम ॥१॥
आतां घेऊं धणीवरि । मागें उरी नुरेतों ॥ध्रु.॥
सांटवण मनाऐसी । पुढें रासी अमुप ॥२॥
तुका म्हणे कारण जालें । विठ्ठल तीं अक्षरीं ॥३॥
Literal translation
As-loved so-it-became — Hari-Nāma came-to-mouth. Now take-to-dhaṇī — no-urī behind. Sāmṭavaṇa according-to-mana — ahead-rāśī unlimited. Tukā: kāraṇa-jālē — in-those-Viṭhṭhal-akṣaras.
What it means
A 3-verse Name-fulfillment text. Hari-Nāma came as loved — store as much as the mana wants, the heaps ahead are unlimited. The cause is the Viṭhṭhal-akṣaras themselves.
For someone today
Tukārām: the-Name came as-was-loved; take-to-fullness; the-Viṭhṭhal-akṣaras are-the-cause.
Where this applies
- When you notice your love for something grows naturally in proportion to how much you actually care, not by force
- When you hold back from fully committing to a practice you already love, unsure if you are allowed to go all in
- When you worry that grace or love might run out and need reminding the supply is unlimited
- When you find that a single simple practice, like repeating a name, already contains everything you were searching for
