Dnyaneshwari Ch. 4, Verse 99

न मां कर्माणि लिम्पन्ति न मे कर्मफले स्पृहा । इति मां योऽभिजानाति कर्मभिर्न स बध्यते ॥

तरी कर्मे आपणियांतें । न लिंपतीचि पैं मातें । हें जाणती जे मातें । तेही न लिंपती ॥

"Actions do not taint Me, nor do I have a desire for the fruits of action. One who knows Me thus is not bound by actions."

💡 Meaning

Just as actions do not attach to Me, those who know Me as such are also not bound by their actions.

🔍 Deep Interpretation

Saint Dnyaneshwar elaborates that the Supreme Being is the non-doer despite being the cause of all actions. One who realizes this divine nature and understands that the true Self is distinct from the ego-driven actions of the body, becomes free from the cycle of cause and effect. Knowledge of the Divine's unattached nature serves as a template for the seeker to perform selfless action.

🎯 Practical Application

In professional life, practice 'detached involvement.' For example, lead a project with full dedication but do not let your self-worth depend solely on the outcome, thereby avoiding burnout and anxiety.

📌 Context

Lord Krishna explains to Arjuna how divine knowledge frees a person from the bondage of actions.

💡 Meaning

The Supreme Being from whom this universe arose and who expanded it, is the same one who pervades it entirely.

🔍 Deep Interpretation

In this verse, Saint Dnyaneshwar describes the omnipresence of the Divine Reality. He asserts that the source from which this entire universe originated and the power by which it expanded is the same principle that pervades everything. Just as ornaments made of gold are essentially gold, the entire creation is permeated by the Supreme Consciousness. There is no part of this universe where that Divine principle does not exist.

🎯 Practical Application

Recognize the divine presence in everyone and everything. For example, treating nature and fellow human beings with respect because they are manifestations of the same supreme energy.

📌 Context

म्हणोनि जे जे उचित । आणि प्रसंगें पावे प्राप्त । तें कर्म न सांडितां विहित । आचरावें ॥ २०६ ॥

💡 Meaning

Therefore, whatever is appropriate and comes to you by circumstance, perform that prescribed duty without abandoning it.

🔍 Deep Interpretation

In this verse, Saint Dnyaneshwar emphasizes the performance of 'Swadharma' (one's own duty). He suggests that one should not abandon the actions that are appropriate and have come naturally through circumstances. 'Vihita' refers to duties prescribed by scriptures or moral laws. Instead of running away from responsibilities, one should perform them with dedication and without attachment to the results.

🎯 Practical Application

In daily life, if a professional is assigned a difficult task, instead of avoiding it, they should complete it with integrity as it is their 'prescribed duty' for that moment.

📌 Context

Saint Dnyaneshwar explains the necessity of performing one's prescribed duties as per the situation.
