Dnyaneshwari Ch. 2, Verse 128

जैसा कवळिला कवळु । न सांडिजे रसाळु । तैसा विषयांचा विटाळु । न धरीच जो ॥

"As a delicious morsel once taken is not cast out, so he who is filled with the bliss of the Self is not touched by the impurity of sense-objects."

कवळिला Verb
Kavalila
तोंडात घेतलेला
Taken in the mouth
कवळु Noun

घास
Morsel
रसाळु Adjective

Juicy or tasty
सांडिजे Verb

To discard or spit out
विटाळु Noun
Vitalu
अशुद्धता किंवा दोष
Impurity or defect

💡 Meaning

Just as one does not discard a delicious morsel once taken in the mouth, a wise person who has tasted spiritual bliss is not affected by the distractions of worldly objects.

🔍 Deep Interpretation

In this verse, Dnyaneshwar Maharaj uses a vivid analogy of a tasty morsel. He explains that just as a person enjoying a delicious bite of food would never think of spitting it out, a person who has experienced the supreme bliss of self-realization remains unaffected by worldly temptations. The 'impurity' of sensory objects (Vishaya) no longer bothers or distracts such a person because their internal joy is far superior to any external pleasure. They live in the world but are not bound by its illusions.

🎯 Practical Application

Focus on finding intrinsic joy in your growth or work. For example, when a student finds genuine interest in a subject, the 'taste' of knowledge makes them naturally ignore the distractions of social media or entertainment.

📌 Context

Saint Dnyaneshwar describes the inner state of a Sthitaprajna (a person of steady wisdom) who is immersed in the bliss of the Self.

म्हणौनि समर्थें जे जे कीजे । तें तें इतरींही अनुष्ठिजे । तेंचि प्रमाण मानिजे । सामान्यलोकीं ॥ २२० ॥

"Therefore, whatever the powerful (great) do, the same is practiced by others; that alone is accepted as the standard by common people."

💡 Meaning

🔍 Deep Interpretation

In this verse, Saint Dnyaneshwar emphasizes the social responsibility of leaders and wise individuals. He states that whatever a 'Samartha' (a capable or great person) does, others follow suit. Their actions become the benchmark or 'Pramana' for the common masses. Therefore, those in positions of influence must act with integrity, as their behavior shapes the moral fabric of society.

🎯 Practical Application

A CEO who practices punctuality and ethics inspires their employees to do the same. Leadership by example is the most effective way to guide a group.

📌 Context

Dnyaneshwar Maharaj explains how the actions of great leaders set the standard for society.

Dnyaneshwari Ch. 5, Verse 80

बाह्यस्पर्शेष्वसक्तात्मा विन्दत्यात्मनि यत्सुखम् । स ब्रह्मयोगयुक्तात्मा सुखमक्षयमश्नुते ॥

म्हणोनि बाह्य विषय सांडूनि । जो अंतरीं स्थिर होऊनि । आत्मसुखाचा अनुभव घेउनि । डोलत असे ॥

"Therefore, leaving aside external objects, he who becomes steady within and experiences the bliss of the self, sways in joy."

अनुभव Noun

💡 Meaning

Therefore, one who renounces external objects, becomes steady within, and experiences the bliss of the self, remains immersed in joy.

🔍 Deep Interpretation

In this verse, Dnyaneshwar Maharaj elaborates on the concept of internal bliss. He suggests that as long as a person is chasing external sensory objects, they remain trapped in temporary cycles of pleasure and pain. However, once the seeker turns inward and stabilizes their consciousness, they tap into 'Atmananda'—the joy of the soul. This joy is not dependent on any external circumstance and leads to a state of spiritual ecstasy where the seeker 'dances' in the realization of the divine self.

🎯 Practical Application

In modern life, we often seek validation and happiness from social media or material possessions. This verse teaches us that true, lasting contentment comes from mindfulness and looking within, rather than relying on external factors.

📌 Context

Saint Dnyaneshwar describes the state of a yogi who has detached from external sensory pleasures to find eternal bliss within.
