💡 Meaning

Therefore, ignorance is dispelled and doubts are cleared away; then the intellect remains firmly established in the nature of the Self.

🔍 Deep Interpretation

In this verse, Dnyaneshwar Maharaj describes the fruit of spiritual wisdom. When a seeker attains true knowledge, the veil of ignorance is lifted. All doubts that previously clouded the mind are completely swept away. Consequently, the intellect, which was once wavering and confused, becomes firmly and resolutely established in the realization of the Self (Atman). This state of unwavering focus is the hallmark of a realized soul.

🎯 Practical Application

In practical life, once we gain complete clarity on a subject, our confusion ends. For example, once a student understands the core logic of a complex problem, their hesitation disappears and they act with certainty.

📌 Context

Saint Dnyaneshwar explains the ultimate result of attaining spiritual knowledge and the removal of doubts.

💡 Meaning

Therefore Arjuna, listen; this path of renunciation is truly excellent, where the attachment to the fruits of action never remains at any time.

🔍 Deep Interpretation

In this verse, Saint Dnyaneshwar emphasizes that true renunciation (Sannyasa) is not the abandonment of physical actions, but the abandonment of the desire for the fruits of those actions. When an individual performs their duty without the ego of being the 'doer' and without craving for the outcome, the 'station' or bondage of karma cannot establish itself. This state of mind ensures that the individual remains free even while being active in the world.

🎯 Practical Application

In professional life, focus on the quality of your contribution rather than obsessing over the promotion or bonus. This mindset reduces anxiety and leads to more authentic success.

📌 Context

Lord Krishna explains to Arjuna the essence of performing duties without being bound by their results.

Dnyaneshwari Ch. 6, Verse 2

जें संन्यास ऐसें म्हणती । तोचि योगु जाण पां सुमती । जे संकल्पु सांडिल्यावांचूनि न होती । योगी केही ॥

ज्याला संन्यास असे म्हणतात, तोच योग आहे असे तू समज. कारण संकल्पाचा त्याग केल्याशिवाय कोणीही योगी होऊ शकत नाही.

"What they call renunciation, know that to be Yoga, O wise one; for no one becomes a Yogi without renouncing their intentions."

संकल्पु Noun

सांडिल्यावांचूनि Other
Sandilyavanchuni
त्याग केल्याशिवाय
Without abandoning

💡 Meaning

Know that what is called renunciation is actually Yoga. No one can become a Yogi without giving up their mental desires and intentions.

🔍 Deep Interpretation

In this verse, Saint Dnyaneshwar clarifies that what is traditionally called Sannyasa (renunciation) is essentially the same as Yoga. The core of both paths is the abandonment of 'Sankalpa' (mental constructs, desires, or the sense of doership). One cannot become a true Yogi without letting go of the internal drive for specific outcomes. It emphasizes that internal mental discipline is more crucial than external renunciation of actions.

🎯 Practical Application

In daily life, focus on the task at hand rather than obsessing over the results. For example, a student should focus on learning the subject deeply rather than just worrying about the grades. This mental shift is the practice of Yoga.

📌 Context

Lord Krishna explains the identity between Sannyasa (renunciation) and Yoga (action) to Arjuna.
