甘蔗雖曲甜汁不曲 — 聖喬卡梅拉阿邦加
十四世紀賤民聖者喬卡梅拉闡揚「靈性平等」的千古名作。甘蔗雖曲,蔗汁至甜;弓身雖彎,利箭徑直;江河盤桓,流水至清;身形門第縱有缺憾,赤誠向佛之信愛永無瑕疵。

喬卡梅拉(14世紀)出身印度最底層的賤民階層,生前被正統祭司阻擋在潘達爾普爾神廟門外,然而神明卻常親臨其茅舍。今日,其聖墓就安葬在潘達爾普爾主廟的迎客階梯腳下,令萬千香客拜謁前首先頂禮。

The Chanting Bones
When Chokhamela died under a collapsed wall in Mangalwedha, Sant Namdev identified his remains because each bone miraculously hummed the name 'Vitthal, Vitthal'.
Samadhi at the Temple Steps
To this day, pilgrims visiting the Pandharpur Vitthal Temple traditionally bow first before Sant Chokhamela's samadhi at the bottom step of the main gate.
Universal Spiritual Truth
The sugarcane metaphor has entered mainstream Marathi culture as the definitive idiom that inner character trumps outward social station.
