🔍 Deep Interpretation

In this verse, Saint Dnyaneshwar compares a sage of steady wisdom to the ocean. Just as the ocean remains undisturbed and maintains its level despite countless rivers flowing into it, the realized soul remains unaffected by sensory desires or external circumstances. He is 'Purnakamu' (fully satisfied) because his joy comes from within the self, not from external objects. He becomes an ocean of bliss himself, where all desires dissolve without creating any turbulence.

🎯 Practical Application

In daily life, practice remaining calm like the ocean. For example, whether you receive praise or criticism at work, do not let your inner peace be disturbed; maintain your stability and focus on your duty.

📌 Context

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