Within the context of Buddhism, specifically the Pure Land form, abandonment is a delusion since Oyasama (Amida Nyorai) unconditionally accepts us all without judgment.
All the Nembutsu practitioner need do is recite the Name when she feels as though she does not exist in this Saha world.
By doing so, it is as though Amida embraces her unconditionally.
Hence, the Nembutsu practice conquers abandonment through recitation of the Name-that-calls.
Indeed, in uttering the Name-that-calls, the practitioner is voicing Amida's call to her.
In saying "Namu Amida Butsu", the Nembutsu practitioner is embraced unconditionally by Amida.
In this way, she conquers abandonment.
