विठ्ठल मीच खरा अपराधी || धृ ||
ज्ञानेशाचे अमृत अनुभव, अनुकम्पेचे नेत्री आसव
स्वप्न तरल ते नकळ शैषव, विले त्यांत कधी विठ्ठला || १ ||
संत तुक्याची अभंगवाणी, इंद्रायणीचे निर्मळ पाणी
मीच बुडविला दृष्ट यौवनी, करुणेचा हा निधी विठ्ठला || २ ||
सरले शिश्नाव स्वच्छंदीपण, नुरले यौवन उरले मी पण
परी न रंगले प्रमप्त हे मन, तुझ्या चिंतनी कधी विठ्ठला || ३ ||
Without devotion, the disease of liberation has afflicted me, Vithal, I am the true culprit.
Experience the nectar of Dnyaneshwar's wisdom, Tears of compassion fill my eyes, In the fleeting dreams of childhood, When did I lose you, Vithal?
The pure water of the Indrayani River, And the divine hymns of Saint Tukaram, I myself have tainted with my youthful arrogance, Oh Vithal, this treasure of compassion.
The carefree days of childhood have ended, Youth is gone, only my pride remains, Yet, this restless mind never found joy, In contemplating you, Vithal.
Reflections:
This heartfelt abhang captures the deep anguish of a soul that strayed from the path of devotion. The poet confesses—mukti without bhakti has become a burden, not a blessing. Even amidst the wisdom of Jnaneshwar and the purity of Sant Tukaram’s words, the mind wandered, drawn to worldly pleasures. There’s no blaming fate or others—the poet bravely accepts, “I alone am the offender.” As youth fades and freedom ends, what's left is an empty shell still untouched by divine remembrance. Yet beneath the guilt lies a deep yearning—for grace, for connection, for Vitthala’s loving glance. This is not just regret, but a cry for transformation. It reminds us that no matter how far we drift, the doorway back to God remains open, waiting for just one honest step of surrender.
