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,...

The doubtlessness and the bhakti

  Chapter 12, shloka 1-14  क्लेशोऽधिकतरस्तेषामव्यक्तासक्तचेतसाम् || अव्यक्ता हि गतिर्दु:खं देहवद्भिरवाप्यते || 5 || kleśho ’dhikataras te ṣ h ā m avyakt ā sakta-chetas ā m avyakt ā hi gatir du ḥ kha ṁ dehavadbhir av ā pyate   Those who try to attain the unexpressed Brahm, have to go through bhakti (the devotion). And in the absence of bhakti, they are tangled in the indulgences like attaining the position of Indra (the king of deities) and acquiring spiritual powers (Riddhi and siddhi). Such seekers have to face chaos created by lust and anger and thus are unequipped to take the spiritual journey as they take pride in their bodies and cannot attain the formless. Thus, bhakti is mandatory when one is seeking the unexpressed Brahm. When you give up those karmas that are forbidden, detach yourself from the result of the actions and surrender your manovrutti (the tendencies) to me; it is then that the attention flows towards me through body, mind, and action. An...

The Brahm, The Atman and the Karma

  Week 23, chapter 8, shlokas (1-14) Asks Arjuna- What is Brahm? What is atman? What is karma? What is adhyatma (spirituality)? What is adhibhuta (entity)? And, what is adhidaiva (predestination)? What is adhiyagna (prime offering)? and who resides in the body? And how does those who have mastered their senses recognizes you when their time to go (death) comes?   Answers Krishna one by one- Brahm is the supreme- the eternal. Extremely subtle that it appears like a zero, but its nature is not like that. So subtle that it can be filtered by the sieve of the microscopic sky; Is continuous and cannot be obtained by any worldly/superficial knowledge. It  is not born when the things that have form are conceived. And is not destroyed when the things which have form are destroyed. This natural state of the supreme spirit (Brahm) that is continuous is called adhyatm (spirituality).  Brahm is eternal and supreme, and Atman is his spirit in man. Elaborat...
