Dnyaneshwari Ch. 4, Verse 87

कर्मण्यकर्म यः पश्येदकर्मणि च कर्म यः । स बुद्धिमान्मनुष्येषु स युक्तः कृत्स्नकर्मकृत् ॥

जेथ कर्म अकर्म होय । आणि अकर्मीं कर्मचि आहे । हे जयासी उमजोनि पाहे । तोचि ज्ञानी ॥

"He who sees inaction in action and action in inaction, he is wise among men, he is a Yogi and a performer of all actions."

पाहे Verb

ज्ञानी Noun

Enlightened or wise

💡 Meaning

One who sees inaction in action and action in inaction is truly wise among men.

🔍 Deep Interpretation

Dnyaneshwar Maharaj explains that a person who realizes that action can be performed without attachment (making it inaction in terms of karmic bondage) and that physical inaction can still involve mental action is truly wise. A person who has transcended the ego of being the 'doer' remains untouched by the consequences of their actions, effectively seeing inaction within their actions.

🎯 Practical Application

Performing your daily duties without the ego of being the 'doer'. For example, helping someone without expecting a 'thank you' or any return favor allows you to act without creating new karmic debt.

📌 Context

Lord Krishna explains the profound paradox of action and inaction to Arjuna, which Dnyaneshwar Maharaj elaborates in this Ovi.

म्हणोनि समर्थें जे जे कीजे । तें तें लोकीं प्रमाण मानिजे । मग सामान्येंही तैसेचि वर्तिजे । अनुसरूनि ॥

💡 Meaning

Whatever a great person does, that is accepted as a standard by the world. Then common people also behave in the same way, following their example.

🔍 Deep Interpretation

In this verse, Saint Dnyaneshwar emphasizes the profound impact of a leader's conduct on society. He states that whatever actions a great or powerful person performs, the world accepts them as the standard or benchmark. Common people do not often seek new paths but naturally follow the trajectory set by those they admire. Therefore, to ensure social order and moral integrity, it is imperative for leaders to act righteously, as their behavior becomes the blueprint for the masses.

🎯 Practical Application

In a corporate setting, if a CEO maintains a culture of transparency and hard work, the employees will naturally emulate those values. Leaders must lead by example to foster a positive environment.

📌 Context

Saint Dnyaneshwar explains Krishna's teaching to Arjuna about why leaders must perform their duties selflessly to set an example for society.

Dnyaneshwari Ch. 4, Verse 109

तो कर्मामाजीं असतां । कर्माचिया अवस्था । न लिंपे सर्वथा । जैसा सूर्य जळीं ॥

"Though he is engaged in actions, he is not touched by the states of action, just as the sun is not affected by the water."

जळीं Noun

jaḷīṃ

पाण्यामध्ये

in the water

💡 Meaning

Even while being in the midst of actions, he is never touched by the conditions of those actions, just as the sun is not affected by the water it reflects in.

🔍 Deep Interpretation

In this verse, Saint Dnyaneshwar uses a beautiful analogy of the sun and its reflection. Just as the sun's reflection appears in the water, but the sun itself remains untouched by the water's wetness or movement, a person who has attained self-knowledge performs all worldly duties without being affected by them. Their physical body is engaged in action, but their consciousness remains anchored in the supreme self, ensuring that the results of actions (karma) do not bind them.

🎯 Practical Application

Perform your duties with dedication but without emotional attachment to the outcome. Example: A student should study for the sake of learning, without being paralyzed by the fear of exam results.

📌 Context

Saint Dnyaneshwar explains how a realized soul remains untouched by the bonds of karma despite being active in the world.
