💡 Meaning

Therefore, O Arjuna, you should follow this path (of selfless action), so that the entire world may find peace and rest.

🔍 Deep Interpretation

In this verse, Saint Dnyaneshwar emphasizes the concept of 'Loksangraha' (the welfare of the world). He advises Arjuna that a leader or a wise person must perform their duties selflessly because their actions serve as a blueprint for the rest of society. If a realized soul abandons action, it might lead to confusion among common people. Therefore, to ensure that the world finds peace and stability (Visava), one must continue to perform their prescribed duties without attachment to the results.

🎯 Practical Application

Acting with a sense of responsibility towards the collective good. For example, a leader following ethical practices inspires the entire organization to work with integrity, leading to overall harmony.

📌 Context

Saint Dnyaneshwar explains the importance of performing one's duty for the benefit of society, following the dialogue between Krishna and Arjuna.

Dnyaneshwari Ch. 2, Verse 13

देहिनोऽस्मिन्यथा देहे कौमारं यौवनं जरा । तथा देहान्तरप्राप्तिर्धीरस्तत्र न मुह्यति ॥

तरी देह हा एकुचि येथ । परी अवस्था भेदु बहुत । जैसा बाळत्वीं असे जो तेंचि नसत । तारुण्यामाजीं ॥ १३ ॥

"Though the body is one, it has many different stages; just as that which exists in childhood is no longer there in youth."

तारुण्यामाजीं Noun

In youth

💡 Meaning

Just as the body is one but undergoes many different stages, and the form of childhood does not remain in youth, the soul remains constant through all changes.

🔍 Deep Interpretation

Saint Dnyaneshwar elucidates that although the physical body appears as a single entity, it undergoes various transformations like childhood, youth, and old age. The physical form of a child does not persist into adulthood, yet the person remains the same. Similarly, the transition of the soul from one body to another (death) is just another stage. A wise person (Dheera) understands this continuity of the soul and does not get deluded by the inevitable changes of the physical form.

🎯 Practical Application

Apply this wisdom to accept the aging process and life transitions without anxiety. For example, when moving from one phase of life to another (like graduation or retirement), remember that your inner essence remains unchanged.

📌 Context

Lord Krishna explains the concept of the soul's permanence despite the body's constant changes to Arjuna.

Dnyaneshwari Ch. 2, Verse 256

आपूर्यमाणमचलप्रतिष्ठं समुद्रमापः प्रविशन्ति यद्वत् । तद्वत्कामा यं प्रविशन्ति सर्वे स शान्तिमाप्नोति न कामकामी ॥

जैसा समुद्रु भरला । तरी न सांडी आपुली वेला । तैसा तोही संतोखला । क्षोभु न पावे ॥

"As the ocean remains unmoved even when filled by waters, so does the man of steady wisdom remain peaceful despite all desires entering him."

वेला Noun

मर्यादा किंवा किनारा
Boundary or shore
संतोखला Adjective
Santokhala
समाधानी किंवा तृप्त

क्षोभु Noun
Kshobhu
अस्वस्थता किंवा खळबळ

💡 Meaning

Just as the ocean, though being filled by waters from all sides, remains steady and does not cross its boundaries, similarly, a wise person remains peaceful and undisturbed despite all desires entering them.

🔍 Deep Interpretation

In this verse, Dnyaneshwar Maharaj describes the equanimity of a self-realized soul. Just as the ocean is constantly replenished by various rivers yet never overflows or loses its composure, a person of steady wisdom remains unaffected by the influx of sensory desires or external circumstances. Their inner peace is so profound and rooted in the self that external changes cannot cause any mental agitation.

🎯 Practical Application

Maintain emotional stability in both success and failure. For example, a professional should remain calm and focused whether a project succeeds brilliantly or faces unexpected challenges, mirroring the ocean's depth.

📌 Context

Saint Dnyaneshwar explains the stability of a wise person by comparing them to the vast and steady ocean.
