Dnyaneshwari Ch. 2, Verse 166

नासतो विद्यते भावो नाभावो विद्यते सतः । उभयोरपि दृष्टोऽन्तस्त्वनयोस्तत्त्वदर्शिभिः ॥

जेथें न येणें ना जाणें । न वाढणें ना सुकणें । तें अविनाश म्हणिजे जाणें । तत्त्ववेत्त्यां ॥

Knowers of the ultimate truth

💡 Meaning

That which has no coming or going, no growth or decay, is known as the Indestructible by the seers of truth.

🔍 Deep Interpretation

In this verse, Dnyaneshwar Maharaj defines the nature of the Eternal Self (Atman). He states that the ultimate reality is devoid of the six transformations of existence (birth, existence, growth, change, decay, and death). Unlike material objects that change over time, the spiritual essence remains constant. It does not increase in value or decrease in strength. This unchanging principle is what philosophers and seers call 'Indestructible'. It emphasizes that while the body and world are transient, the core consciousness is eternal.

🎯 Practical Application

Apply this by realizing that your inner peace should not depend on external gains or losses. Example: Just as a screen remains unchanged regardless of the movie playing on it, keep your inner self steady despite life's ups and downs.

📌 Context

Saint Dnyaneshwar explains the distinction between the eternal reality (Sat) and the temporary appearance (Asat) based on Bhagavad Gita 2.16.

Dnyaneshwari Ch. 5, Verse 10

जैसा जळीं जळु न मिळे । तैसा संन्यासी कर्मा न मैळे । जो कर्तेपण सांडूनि खेळे । कर्मामाजीं ॥

"As the lotus is not wetted by water, so the Sanyasi is not tainted by actions, for he moves in the world having cast off the sense of doership."

💡 Meaning

Just as a lotus remains in water without getting wet, a Sanyasi performs actions in the world without being tainted by them, because he has abandoned the ego of doership.

🔍 Deep Interpretation

In this verse, Dnyaneshwar Maharaj uses the classic metaphor of a lotus in water to describe the state of a realized soul. A true Sanyasi is one who performs all worldly duties but remains internally detached from the results. The 'stain' of action (karma) only affects those who carry the burden of 'doership' (Kartrutva). By surrendering the ego and realizing that actions are part of the natural flow of the universe, the seeker remains as pure and untouched as a lotus leaf in a pond. This is the secret of living in the world without being bound by it.

🎯 Practical Application

When performing any task, such as a project at work or school, focus on the effort rather than the credit. By letting go of the 'I did this' attitude, you reduce stress and perform more effectively.

📌 Context

Saint Dnyaneshwar explains how a true seeker remains untouched by the bonds of action by renouncing the ego of being the doer.

Dnyaneshwari Ch. 2, Verse 186

जैसा पूर्ण सरितापती । न चळे न ओसंडे कधीं । तैसीच जयाची बुद्धी । क्षोभ न पावे ॥

"As the ocean, the lord of rivers, is always full and neither moves nor overflows, so is the intellect of such a person which remains undisturbed."

सरितापती Noun

saritāpatī

समुद्र (नद्यांचा पती)

Ocean (Lord of rivers)

न चळे Verb

na caḷe

विचलित होत नाही

Does not waver

ओसंडे Verb

ōsaṇḍē

मर्यादा ओलांडणे

Overflow

बुद्धी Noun

buddhī

विचारशक्ती

Intellect

क्षोभ Noun

kṣōbha

खळबळ किंवा अस्वस्थता

Agitation or disturbance

💡 Meaning

Just as the ocean remains steady and does not overflow despite being filled by rivers, similarly, the intellect of a wise person remains undisturbed by desires.

🔍 Deep Interpretation

In this verse, Saint Dnyaneshwar compares the intellect of a self-realized person to the ocean. The ocean is called 'Saritapati' (the lord of rivers). Despite countless rivers constantly flowing into it, the ocean neither exceeds its boundaries nor does it ever dry up; it remains full and steady. Similarly, a person of steady wisdom remains unaffected by the sensory desires or external circumstances that enter their mind. Their inner peace remains undisturbed regardless of life's ups and downs.

🎯 Practical Application

In daily life, practice emotional stability. For example, if you face criticism at work, instead of reacting with anger or sadness, remain calm like the ocean and focus on your duty without losing your mental balance.

📌 Context

Saint Dnyaneshwar explains the state of a person with steady wisdom (Sthitaprajna) using the metaphor of an ocean.
