💡 Meaning

For a realized soul, there is no obligation to either perform prescribed duties or avoid forbidden ones, as they transcend the laws of karma.

🔍 Deep Interpretation

In this verse, Saint Dnyaneshwar explains that for a person who has realized the ultimate truth, the dualities of 'proper' and 'forbidden' actions cease to exist. Since their ego (the sense of being the doer) is dissolved in the Self, they are not bound by social or religious obligations in the same way an ignorant person is. Their actions are spontaneous and free from the bondage of cause and effect.

🎯 Practical Application

In daily life, perform your duties without attachment to the results. Example: A teacher teaching students with dedication without worrying about personal fame or reward.

📌 Context

Saint Dnyaneshwar describes the state of a person who has attained self-realization and is no longer bound by the rules of karma.
