Dnyaneshwari Ch. 3, Verse 135

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

"Therefore, whatever is done by the great, that very thing is performed by others; whatever they accept as authority, the common people follow."

सामान्यलोकीं Noun

💡 Meaning

Therefore, whatever a great person does, others also follow. Whatever standards they set, the common people accept as the norm.

🔍 Deep Interpretation

Dnyaneshwar Maharaj emphasizes that the actions of great leaders or wise individuals serve as a blueprint for the masses. If the 'Samartha' (capable/wise) performs righteous actions, the common people follow suit. This verse highlights the social responsibility of the enlightened to lead by example rather than just preaching. It aligns with the principle that 'action speaks louder than words'.

🎯 Practical Application

In a corporate setting, if a CEO follows ethical practices and punctuality, the employees naturally adopt those values. Leading by example is more effective than giving instructions.

📌 Context

Lord Krishna explains to Arjuna through Dnyaneshwar's commentary why a wise person must continue to perform actions to set an example for society.

जेथें अर्जुना हें न दिसे । तेथें सुख हेंचि असे । म्हणोनि विषयसंगु न सोसे । साधुजनां ॥ ८२ ॥

जेथे अर्जुना हे (विषय) दिसत नाहीत, तेथेच खरे सुख असते; म्हणून सज्जन लोक विषयांच्या संगतीचा स्वीकार करत नाहीत.

"Where these (sensory objects) are not seen, O Arjuna, there alone is bliss; therefore, holy men do not endure the company of sensory objects."

साधुजनां Noun

💡 Meaning

O Arjuna, where these sensory objects are not perceived, there alone lies true bliss; therefore, wise people do not indulge in the company of sensory pleasures.

🔍 Deep Interpretation

In this verse, Saint Dnyaneshwar emphasizes that true happiness is not found in external sensory objects but in their absence. When the mind is free from the constant craving for sight, sound, taste, and touch, the inherent bliss of the soul manifests. Wise individuals (Sadhus) understand that sensory pleasures are temporary and often lead to bondage; hence, they consciously avoid getting entangled in them to maintain their inner peace.

🎯 Practical Application

In modern life, we are constantly bombarded with notifications and desires. Practicing 'detachment' from these distractions helps find mental clarity. Example: Choosing a moment of silent reflection over mindless scrolling on a smartphone leads to deeper satisfaction.

📌 Context

Saint Dnyaneshwar explains the difference between fleeting sensory pleasures and the eternal bliss of the self.

🔍 Deep Interpretation

In this verse, Saint Dnyaneshwar describes the aesthetic and intellectual richness of the divine discourse. 'Abhinav Vagvilas' refers to a novel play of words that never feels dated. 'Chaturyache Phans' suggests the intricate nets of logic that captivate the intellect. Finally, 'Prameyacha Suvas' refers to the fragrance of spiritual truths (theorems) that naturally attract the seeker's soul, much like a flower attracts a bee.

🎯 Practical Application

Use your communication skills to inspire others. When sharing knowledge, ensure it is presented beautifully and logically so that it naturally draws people's interest. Example: A teacher who presents a complex subject with interesting stories and clear logic will naturally attract students to learn more.

📌 Context

In the opening of Dnyaneshwari, Saint Dnyaneshwar praises the divine intelligence (Ganesha) and the beauty of spiritual knowledge.
