Abhanga 3424
When you are weary, it is right to call out urgently and trust that grace is already rushing toward you like a parent to a tired child.
The verse
धांवा केला धांवा । श्रम होऊं नेदी जीवा ॥१॥
वर्षे अमृताच्या धारा । घेई वोसंगा लेंकरा ॥ध्रु.॥
उशीर तो आतां । न करावा हे चिंता ॥२॥
तुका म्हणे त्वरें । वेग करीं विश्वंभरे ॥३॥
Literal translation
You-ran-dhāvā — no-śrama-for-jīva. Pour-nectar-dhārā — take-lēnkara-into-vōsanga. No-delay-now — no-chintā. Tukā: tvarē — hurry-Viśvambhar.
What it means
A 3-verse mother-petition. You have already run for me; pour your nectar; pick me up like a baby; quickly, world-bearer.
For someone today
Tukaram calls out like a tired child who trusts that a loving parent has already started running toward them. He believes God won't let his soul grow weary waiting, that streams of grace will pour down like nectar the moment he's picked up and held close. He asks that there be no more delay, no more anxious waiting, and pleads directly, almost urgently, for God, the sustainer of the whole world, to hurry.
मराठी: तुकाराम एका दमलेल्या मुलासारखे हाक मारतात, ज्याचा विश्वास आहे की प्रेमळ आई-वडील आधीच धावत येत आहेत. त्यांचा विश्वास आहे की देव त्यांच्या जीवाला थकू देणार नाही, आणि उचलून जवळ घेतल्यावर अमृतासारखी कृपेची धार बरसेल. आता आणखी विलंब नको, आणखी काळजी नको असे ते मागतात, आणि संपूर्ण विश्वाला सांभाळणाऱ्या देवाला घाई करण्याची थेट, जवळजवळ आर्त विनंती करतात.
Where this applies
- When you're exhausted and just want to be picked up and cared for like a tired child
- When you're waiting anxiously and need reassurance that help is already on its way
- When you plead directly for relief instead of quietly enduring more delay
- When you trust that grace will pour out generously once real closeness arrives
