Now, 'O' God, The entire Cosmos Divine | 
Be pleased with this pious word offering of mine ||
Grant me in goodwill benign | 
Your Benevolent Grace Divine ||1||


May the evil-minded, their wickedness shed | 
May their intellect turn to pious and good deeds instead ||
May all living beings find themselves bonded | 
By friendly ties of soul companionship||2||


May the darkness of ignorant disappear | 
May the universe see the Sun of self-consciousness ||
May whatsoever aspirations of those be fulfilled | 
Of all living beings ||3||


May shower all over the pious bliss Divine | 
May the world be full of Saintly beings benign ||
May incessantly in the Universe | 
Meet the living beings ||4||


Moving groves of wish-granting trees | 
Colonies of conscious wish-fulfilling jewels ||
These saints are, speaking oceans | 
Full of pious Nectarly Divine ||5||


A Moon without a smear | 
A Sun without a hot sear ||
Always to one and all, these hallowed saints | 
Become kith and kin dear ||6||


Let all beings be completely satisfied and happy | 
Fully contented in all the three worlds ||
Engrossed and merged in devotion | 
Eternally, of ultimate Divine ||7||


And those who live by this scripture Divine | 
Eternally guiding all living beings ||
Be victoriously overseen unforeseen | 
In this world and beyond ||8||


Here, said, the lord of the Universe | 
This shall become thy Grace Divine ||
And with this blissful Grace Divine | 
Jnandeva became ever joyous and happy benign ||9||

P.S.-- thus Shri Gyaneshwara mentions and praises the spiritual beings who dwell in this world like commoners with their enlightened souls. they look like commoners but are divine and carry the song of the cosmos in their hearts. And to be noted, he mentions them not as a bunch of few people, but forests of moving wish-fulfilling trees.

Kshetragya (the knower of the ‘field’)--various arguements

 Chapter 13, shloka 1-4   Kshetragya (the knower of the ‘field’) This body is the ‘kshetra’ (the field/site), and the one who knows the body is the one to be called ‘Kshetragnya’. The Kshetragnya and the one who nourishes all the kshetras is but me only, and to know the kshetra and the kshetragnya is the true knowledge. Tells Krishna; there have been a lot of discussions in scriptures and various arguments among sages about who this kshetra belongs to but there is no unanimity on the same. Gyaneshwara comments on various arguments and discussions about the kshetra; Those who are believers in the theory of karma say that the entire kshetra is under the control of ‘jivatma’(the embodied soul) and is managed by the prana(the life force). The four types of airs- apaana, vyaana, udaana and samaana put a lot of effort into sustaining prana while the mind enquires and supervises them. The five sense organs and five action organs are like tools in the hands of the jivatma,...

Practicing Pause

  Geeta being a subject studying which the seeker needs to take a pause in between wherever is required. As the energies flow one needs to be mindful if they are able to contain the essence of the cosmic song. To ponder if what we are reading is being absorbed by the spirit or is feeding the mindless chatter of the mythical mind —for it (the mind) is just made up of certain visuals and thoughts encountered during one’s lifetime (a very small fragment of one’s eternal existence). The pause- and elongation of this area where one begins to connect to their own reality that lies beyond thoughts and ideas. Reasoning myself, I take the liberty to practice a much-needed pause narrating Arjuna’s experience of God’s Realisation…for now, the mind and heart is full and the sacred song overflows my conscious while I try to hold it ...for now, it calls for surrendering.

Glorious vision to behold

Week 31, Chapter 11 shloka 15-31 Having been witnessed a tremendous universal form of Shri Krishna, Arjuna trembling in awe and wonder thus describes gloriously all that he could see and behold. In the next shlokas (15-31) Arjuna sings the glory of the universal Form of Krishna – all that he saw and all that he beholds. Again, in the beautiful words of Juan Mascaro; I see in thee all the gods, and the infinity of the beings of thy creation. I see god Brahma on his throne of lotus, and all the seers and serpents of light. All-around I behold thy Infinity: the power of thy innumerable arms, the visions from thy innumerable eyes, the words from thy innumerable mouths, and the fire of life of thy innumerable bodies. Nowhere I see a beginning or middle or end of thee, O God of all, form infinite! I see the splendour of an infinite beauty that illumines the whole universe. It is thee! With thy crown and sceptre and circle. How difficult thou art to see! But I see thee: as fire, as th...
