Dnyaneshwari Ch. 4, Verse 21

निराशीर्यतचित्तात्मा त्यक्तसर्वपरिग्रहः । शारीरं केवलं कर्म कुर्वन्नाप्नोति किल्बिषम् ॥

जयाचिये अंतःकरणीं । आशा नाहीं कोणे गुणीं । जो नियतचित्तु होऊनि । वर्तत असे ॥

💡 Meaning

One who is free from expectations, has controlled their mind and self, and has abandoned all sense of possession, incurs no sin even while performing bodily actions.

🔍 Deep Interpretation

Saint Dnyaneshwar elucidates that a person who has renounced all desires and mastered their internal faculties performs actions solely for the maintenance of the physical body. Since such an individual is devoid of the egoistic sense of 'doership' and has no attachment to the results, their actions do not generate any karmic reactions or sins. This state of being is called 'Akarma' within 'Karma'.

🎯 Practical Application

In professional life, focus on the quality of your work rather than obsessing over the promotion or reward. For example, a doctor treating a patient should focus on the treatment itself rather than the fame it might bring.

📌 Context

Lord Krishna explains the state of a person who has attained spiritual wisdom and performs actions without attachment.

Dnyaneshwari Ch. 5, Verse 69

जेथें अर्जुना हें संन्यासपण । तेंचि योगु जाण । म्हणूनि दोन्ही एकचि हें प्रमाण । मानिजे गा ॥

"Where there is this Sanyasa, O Arjuna, know that to be Yoga itself; therefore, let both be regarded as one."

संन्यासपण Noun
Sanyaspan
संन्यासाची वृत्ती किंवा त्याग
State of renunciation
योगु Noun

Path of selfless action
प्रमाण Noun

मानिजे Verb

Should be considered
दोन्ही Adjective
Donhi
दोन्हीही (संन्यास आणि योग)
Both

💡 Meaning

O Arjuna, know that what is called Sanyasa is the same as Yoga. Therefore, consider both of them to be one and the same truth.

🔍 Deep Interpretation

In this verse, Saint Dnyaneshwar emphasizes that Sanyasa (renunciation) and Yoga (selfless action) are not distinct paths but two sides of the same coin. A true Sanyasi is one who has renounced the ego, and a true Yogi is one who performs actions without attachment to the fruits. The ultimate realization in both is the same—the dissolution of the 'I' sense and union with the Divine. He urges Arjuna to look beyond the external differences and see the internal oneness of these paths.

🎯 Practical Application

In daily life, performing your duties without being attached to the results is the practical application of this verse. For example, a professional completing a project with full dedication for the sake of excellence, rather than just for a promotion, practices the essence of both Sanyasa and Yoga.

📌 Context

Saint Dnyaneshwar explains the fundamental unity between the path of renunciation (Sanyasa) and the path of selfless action (Yoga).
