🌸 English Meaning
Salutations to you, my Lord, my protector,
I am the servant of your servant. ||1||
I have been deeply hungry,
So I have come seeking even your leftover grace. ||2||
I placed all my hopes in you,
For I am only the servant of your servant. ||3||
Chokhamela says with humility,
I have brought my plate, hoping for your blessed leftovers. ||4||
🪔 Reflection
This abhang by Sant Chokhamela touches the deepest layer of humility in the bhakti path. Born into a community pushed to the margins of society, Chokhamela’s devotion was free from pride, demand, or entitlement. He does not ask for honor, knowledge, or even direct blessings. He asks only for what remains after the Lord has fed others — the ushta, the sacred leftovers. In this simple image lies a powerful truth: real devotion is not about status, but surrender.
When Chokha says, “I am the servant of your servant,” he dissolves the ego completely. Hunger here is not just of the body, but of the soul — a longing to belong, to be accepted by the Divine. Sung by Pt. Kumar Gandharva with piercing honesty, the abhang becomes a quiet cry that still echoes today. In our lives, do we seek recognition, or are we content with grace in any form it arrives? Can we bow with love, even when the world does not? Chokhamela reminds us that God’s compassion reaches the humblest heart, and that true freedom begins when pride ends.
