Dnyaneshwari Ch. 3, Verse 72

म्हणोनि उचित जे कर्म । आणि विहित जे धर्म । तेचि आचरावे उत्तम । फळाशा सांडूनि ॥ ७२ ॥

"Therefore, perform the appropriate actions and prescribed duties excellently, leaving aside the hope for rewards."

फळाशा Noun

सांडूनि Verb

Sanduni

💡 Meaning

Therefore, perform those actions which are appropriate and those duties which are prescribed, doing them excellently while abandoning the desire for results.

🔍 Deep Interpretation

Saint Dnyaneshwar emphasizes the essence of selfless action. He advises that one should only perform actions that are appropriate (Uchita) and prescribed by one's duty (Vihita). These actions should be executed with the highest level of excellence (Uttama). The crucial condition is to perform them while completely renouncing the desire for the fruits of those actions (Phalasha). This approach ensures that the individual remains focused on the process rather than the outcome, leading to spiritual liberation.

🎯 Practical Application

In a professional setting, an employee should focus on delivering high-quality work as their primary duty, rather than being constantly distracted by thoughts of a promotion or bonus.

📌 Context

In the context of explaining how to live in the world without being bound by actions, Saint Dnyaneshwar explains the method of performing one's duty.

Dnyaneshwari Ch. 2, Verse 145

जैसा प्रळयकाळचा वारा । न सांवरे गा वीरा । तैसा इंद्रियग्रामु हा पुरा । अनावरु सदा ॥

"As the wind of the cosmic dissolution cannot be restrained, O Hero, so is this group of senses always uncontrollable."

अनावरु Adjective

💡 Meaning

Just as the wind at the time of cosmic dissolution cannot be restrained, O Hero, so is this group of senses always uncontrollable.

🔍 Deep Interpretation

In this verse, Saint Dnyaneshwar uses a powerful metaphor of the 'Pralaya' wind (the wind at the end of the universe). He explains that just as the catastrophic winds of dissolution are impossible to stop or control, the collective force of the human senses is naturally turbulent. They possess the power to overwhelm the intellect and pull the mind toward worldly desires. This highlights the necessity of spiritual discipline and constant vigilance to master one's own nature.

🎯 Practical Application

In modern life, distractions like social media notifications act like the 'Pralaya' wind. If we do not practice mindfulness, these sensory triggers control our time and focus completely.

📌 Context

Saint Dnyaneshwar explains the turbulent and powerful nature of the human senses to Arjuna.

💡 Meaning

🔍 Deep Interpretation

In this verse, Saint Dnyaneshwar describes the state of spiritual awakening. He explains that when a seeker becomes detached from sensory objects and the senses become completely tranquil, the inherent bliss of the soul is revealed. This inner joy does not depend on external circumstances but is a result of the mind turning inward and finding its true nature.

🎯 Practical Application

In modern life, this can be applied by practicing 'digital detox'. When we disconnect from constant notifications and external noise, we find a deeper sense of calm and clarity within ourselves.

📌 Context

Saint Dnyaneshwar explains the internal state of a person who has mastered their senses and attained steady wisdom.
