Dnyaneshwari Ch. 4, Verse 65

म्हणोनि कर्माचेनि आधारें । जे जे उचित आणि अवसरें । तें तें कीजे निधारें । फळाशा सांडूनि ॥ ६५ ॥

"Therefore, relying on action, perform whatever is appropriate and timely with determination, leaving aside the hope for results."

सांडूनि Verb

Renouncing

💡 Meaning

Therefore, taking the support of action, whatever is appropriate and timely should be done with firm resolve, while renouncing the desire for its fruits.

🔍 Deep Interpretation

Saint Dnyaneshwar emphasizes the principle of Nishkama Karma (selfless action). He advises that one should not abandon action but should perform duties that are righteous and demanded by the current situation. The performance must be resolute and firm. However, the practitioner must remain detached from the results. By renouncing the fruit of labor, the action becomes a means of liberation rather than a cause of bondage.

🎯 Practical Application

In a professional setting, focusing on delivering high-quality work for the benefit of the project, rather than just working for a bonus, exemplifies this teaching.

📌 Context

Lord Krishna explains to Arjuna how a wise person performs actions without being bound by them, which Dnyaneshwar Maharaj elaborates in this Ovi.

💡 Meaning

The one whose mind has become steady in that very place from which this creation has truly emerged.

🔍 Deep Interpretation

In this verse, Saint Dnyaneshwar explains that a true seeker is one whose mind has returned to and settled in the ultimate source of creation—the Brahman. Just as every wave eventually subsides back into the ocean from which it arose, the mind of a liberated soul finds absolute stillness in the Divine. This state represents the end of all mental wandering and the attainment of supreme peace.

🎯 Practical Application

In daily life, try to find the 'center' or the core purpose of your actions. For example, when working, instead of being distracted by results, focus on the source of your inspiration to maintain mental stability.

📌 Context

Saint Dnyaneshwar describes the state of a realized soul whose mind is fixed on the source of all existence.

💡 Meaning

🔍 Deep Interpretation

Lord Krishna explains that the ancient Yoga, which had been lost over time, is being revealed to Arjuna again. The qualification for receiving this secret knowledge is not just intellectual capacity, but the bond of devotion and friendship that Arjuna shares with the Lord. It signifies that spiritual truths are best understood through a relationship of love, trust, and surrender to the Divine.

🎯 Practical Application

In our professional or personal growth, being dedicated to our craft and maintaining a humble, open relationship with our mentors allows us to access deeper wisdom. For instance, a loyal apprentice often learns the 'secrets' of a trade because of their sincerity and closeness to the master.

📌 Context

Lord Krishna explains to Arjuna why He is revealing the supreme secret of Yoga to him, emphasizing their relationship of devotion and friendship.
