Dnyaneshwari Ch. 4, Verse 72

कर्मण्यकर्म यः पश्येदकर्मणि च कर्म यः । स बुद्धिमान्मनुष्येषु स युक्तः कृत्स्नकर्मकृत् ॥

तोचि मनुष्यांतू जाण । सकळ कर्माचा निधान । तोचि योगयुक्तु पावन । कृतकृत्यु तो ॥

"Know him alone to be wise among men; he is the storehouse of all actions; he is the holy one joined in Yoga, and he has fulfilled his life's purpose."

💡 Meaning

He is the wise one among men, the repository of all actions, the holy one united in Yoga, and the one who has accomplished everything.

🔍 Deep Interpretation

Dnyaneshwar Maharaj interprets that a person who realizes the soul is a non-doer even while the body performs actions, and understands that even physical stillness can be 'action' if the ego remains, is truly wise. Such a person is liberated from the cycle of cause and effect. They perform all duties with a sense of detachment, making them a 'Krutakrutyu'—one who has achieved the ultimate goal of human life.

🎯 Practical Application

Practice 'selfless action' in your career or studies. Focus on the quality of your work rather than obsessing over the rewards or feeding your ego, which leads to mental peace and success.

📌 Context

Saint Dnyaneshwar explains the state of a wise person who understands the true nature of action and inaction as taught by Lord Krishna.

Dnyaneshwari Ch. 4, Verse 125

तरी कर्माचेनि आधारें । कर्मचि सांडिजे निधारें । जैसें नावेचेनि संचारे । पैलतीर पाविजे ॥

"By the support of action, action itself is transcended; just as by the movement of a boat, the other shore is reached."

कर्माच्या
of action

with the support

निधारें Adverb

certainly
नावेचेनि Noun
nāvēceni
नावेच्या
by the boat
पैलतीर Noun
pailatīra
पलीकडचा काठ
the other shore

💡 Meaning

Just as one reaches the other bank of a river using a boat and then leaves the boat, one should use the support of actions to eventually transcend the bondage of actions.

🔍 Deep Interpretation

Dnyaneshwar Maharaj uses the metaphor of a boat to explain the philosophy of action. To reach the other side of a river, a boat is indispensable. However, once you reach the shore, you do not carry the boat on your head; you leave it behind. Similarly, to attain liberation, one must perform their duties (Karma). By performing these duties without attachment to the results, the bondage of Karma is destroyed by the very act of performing it correctly.

🎯 Practical Application

In professional life, focus entirely on the quality of your work rather than the promotion or bonus. When you work with total dedication and without anxiety about the outcome, the work itself becomes a path to mental peace and excellence.

📌 Context

Shri Krishna explains to Arjuna how selfless action leads to the state of actionlessness.

Dnyaneshwari Ch. 2, Verse 21

वेदाविनाशिनं नित्यं य एनमजमव्ययम् । कथं स पुरुषः पार्थ कं घातयति हन्ति कम् ॥

तरी साचचि हें न मरे । आणि मारिलें तरी न तरे । हें नित्य आणि निर्विकारें । अनादि सिद्ध ॥

"Truly this soul does not die, nor is it destroyed by any means; it is eternal, immutable, and eternally established."

नित्य Adjective

निर्विकारें Adjective

अनादि Adjective

सिद्ध Adjective

Established/Proven

💡 Meaning

This soul truly never dies, and even if one tries to kill it, it does not perish. It is eternal, changeless, and exists from time immemorial.

🔍 Deep Interpretation

In this verse, Dnyaneshwar Maharaj elaborates on the Sanskrit verse of the Gita, emphasizing that the Soul (Atman) is beyond the reach of destruction. It is 'Nitya' (everlasting) and 'Nirvikara' (without modifications). Since the soul is unborn and undying, the concepts of 'killing' or 'being killed' are only applicable to the physical body, not the true self. One who realizes this truth remains unshaken by the changes of the material world.

🎯 Practical Application

This knowledge can be used to overcome the fear of loss or failure by realizing that our inner essence is untouched by external circumstances. Example: Maintaining mental balance during a crisis by understanding that the core 'Self' is permanent while situations are temporary.

📌 Context

Lord Krishna explains the eternal and indestructible nature of the soul to Arjuna to remove his grief.
