Abhanga 3664
When you trust a bond has never truly broken, you do not need to argue your case, the plain truth will speak for itself.
The verse
नाहीं खंड जाला । माझा तुमचा विठ्ठला ॥१॥
कैसें कैसें हो दुश्चित । आहे चौघांपाशीं नीत ॥ध्रु.॥
मुळींचे लिहिलें । मज आतां सांपडलें ॥२॥
तुका म्हणे मज । न लगे बोलणें सहज ॥३॥
Literal translation
No-khaṇḍa-between-us-Viṭhṭhala. How-duśchita — nīta-with-the-four. Mūḷa-likhita-came-to-me-now. Tukā: no-need-to-speak-sahaja.
What it means
A 3-verse no-break text. There's no break between us, Viṭhṭhal; why be anxious? — the justice is with the four-witnesses; what was written at the source has come to me now; I don't need to speak naturally.
For someone today
Tukaram declares with quiet certainty that nothing has ever truly broken between himself and Vitthal, so there is no real reason for anxiety. He trusts that what is true and right will be plain to everyone who witnesses it, not something he needs to argue for. What was always meant to be, written from the very beginning, has now arrived and become clear to him. Because of that certainty, he feels no need to explain or defend himself, the truth simply speaks for itself.
मराठी: तुकाराम शांत विश्वासाने सांगतात की माझ्या आणि विठ्ठलाच्या नात्यात खरे तर कधीच खंड पडला नाही, त्यामुळे काळजी करण्याचे कारण नाही. जे सत्य आणि योग्य आहे ते सगळ्यांना आपोआप दिसेल, त्यासाठी वाद घालण्याची गरज नाही असा त्यांना विश्वास आहे. जे सुरुवातीपासूनच घडायचे लिहिले होते, ते आता प्रत्यक्षात येऊन स्पष्ट झाले आहे. या खात्रीमुळे त्यांना स्वतःचे स्पष्टीकरण द्यावे लागत नाही, सत्य स्वतःच बोलते.
Where this applies
- When you worry a relationship has broken beyond repair even though deep down the bond is still intact
- When you trust the truth of a situation will become clear on its own without you arguing your case
- When something you always sensed was meant to happen finally comes true
- When you feel no need to justify yourself because the truth is plain to everyone watching
