आपूर्यमाणमचलप्रतिष्ठं समुद्रमापः प्रविशन्ति यद्वत् । तद्वत्कामा यं प्रविशन्ति सर्वे स शान्तिमाप्नोति न कामकामी ॥

जैसा समुद्रु भरला । तरी न सांडी आपुली वेला । तैसा तोही संतोखला । क्षोभु न पावे ॥

Just as the ocean is constantly replenished by various rivers yet never overflows or loses its composure, a person of steady wisdom remains unaffected by the influx of sensory desires or external circumstances. Their inner peace is so profound and rooted in the self that external changes cannot cause any mental agitation.

Dnyaneshwari Ch. 2, Verse 348

आपूर्यमाणमचलप्रतिष्ठं समुद्रमापः प्रविशन्ति यद्वत् । तद्वत्कामा यं प्रविशन्ति सर्वे स शान्तिमाप्नोति न कामकामी ॥

जैसा पूर्णत्वें सरिता । समुद्रु होय पांडुसुता । तैसी शांती हे स्वभावता । तयासीचि वरे ॥ ३४८ ॥

💡 Meaning

Just as a river becomes one with the ocean upon reaching it, peace naturally embraces a person of steady wisdom.

🔍 Deep Interpretation

In this verse, Dnyaneshwar Maharaj illustrates the concept of inner peace. Just as rivers flow into the ocean without disturbing its depth or boundaries, all worldly desires and sensory experiences enter the mind of a 'Sthitaprajna' without causing any agitation. The ocean is already full; it doesn't need the rivers to be complete, yet it accepts them. Similarly, a self-realized soul is already content in the Self. Peace is not something they seek; rather, peace naturally resides within them and 'chooses' them because of their unwavering stability.

🎯 Practical Application

True peace comes from inner stability. For example, if you remain calm and focused on your goals despite social media distractions or external criticism, you are practicing the essence of this verse in daily life.

📌 Context

Saint Dnyaneshwar explains the state of a person with steady wisdom (Sthitaprajna) using the metaphor of a river and the ocean.
