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.

💡 Meaning

Therefore, there is no sin more terrible than doubt. It is the ultimate cause of destruction.

🔍 Deep Interpretation

In this verse, Saint Dnyaneshwar emphasizes that doubt is the most heinous sin because it leads to total destruction of the self. Unlike other mistakes that can be rectified, doubt (Sanshay) erodes the very foundation of faith and intellect. It acts like a slow poison that prevents a person from achieving both worldly success and spiritual liberation. A person possessed by doubt loses their sense of direction and purpose, making it the ultimate cause of downfall.

🎯 Practical Application

In daily life, avoid self-doubt when pursuing a goal. For example, if a student doubts their preparation despite studying hard, they might perform poorly due to anxiety. Confidence and faith in one's efforts are essential for success.

📌 Context

Saint Dnyaneshwar explains the destructive nature of doubt (Sanshay) while commenting on the importance of faith in the path of knowledge.
