Dnyaneshwari Ch. 5, Verse 67

ब्रह्मण्याधाय कर्माणि सङ्गं त्यक्त्वा करोति यः। लिप्यते न स पापेन पद्मपत्रमिवाम्भसा॥

म्हणोनि कर्मे तरी कीजती। परि तीं फळालागीं न सुझती। जैसा कर्दमु न लिंपती। पद्मपत्रां॥

"Therefore, actions are indeed performed, but they do not seek the fruit; just as mud does not cling to the lotus leaves."

फळालागीं Noun

💡 Meaning

Just as a lotus leaf is not wetted by water or stained by mud, a wise person performs actions without being attached to their fruits.

🔍 Deep Interpretation

In this verse, Saint Dnyaneshwar illustrates the principle of non-attachment using the metaphor of a lotus leaf. Just as a lotus leaf grows in water and mud but remains dry and unstained by them, a seeker who performs their duties without attachment to the results remains untouched by sin or the bondage of Karma. This state is achieved by dedicating all actions to the Divine and realizing that the true self is distinct from the doer of the actions.

🎯 Practical Application

In professional life, focus entirely on the quality of your task rather than constantly worrying about the promotion or reward. This 'process-oriented' approach reduces stress and leads to better outcomes, similar to the lotus leaf's nature.

📌 Context

Saint Dnyaneshwar explains how a person can remain untouched by the bonds of action while living in the material world.
