अध्याय ५

II श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम II

ज्ञानियांच्या हन ठायीं I या ची मातुही कीर नाहीं I देहीं देहभावो जिहीं I स्ववश केले II 129 II
जयातें बाह्याची भाख I नेणिजेचि नि:शेख I अंतरीं सुख I एक आथी II 130 II
परी ते वेगळेपणें भोगिजे I जैसें पक्षियें फळ चुंबिजे I तैसें नव्हे तेथ विसरिजे I भोगितेपणही II 131 II
भोगीं अवस्था एक उठी I ते अहंकाराचा अंचळु लोटी I मग सुखेंसि घे आंटी I गाढेपणें II 132 II
तिये आलिंगनमेळीं I होय आपेंआप कवळी I तेथ जळ जैसें जळीं I वेगळें न दिसे II 133 II
कां आकाशीं वायु हारपे I तेथ दोन्ही हे भाष लोपे I तैसें सुखचि उरे स्वरूपें I सुरतीं तिये II 134 II
ऐशी द्वैताची भाष जाये I मग म्हणों जरी एकचि होये I तरी तेथ साक्षी कवणु आहे I जाणतें जें II 135 II
म्हणोनि असो हें आघवें I एथ न बोलणें काय बोलावें I ते खुणचि पावेल स्वभावें I आत्माराम II 136 II

"The sense attachments do not influence those who are in full control of their body consciousness. Such a person remains absorbed in the ecstasy within. The manner in which they experience this joy is however different. It is as unassumingly as the bird plucking a fruit off the tree. There is not even a trace of "I did this & I did that", so devoid of "I" Consciousness  are they that their becoming one with the Supreme Consciousness is like water mixing with itself. It is like when wind blows into the sky, their two-ness ceases. The Supreme Consciousness can be understood as the ultimate reality, the source of all existence, or the universal mind. Becoming one with it implies a merging or identification with this source, transcending the limitations of the individual Self. When the duality ceases there is no enjoyer too. What remains is only the Supreme Bliss that a Realized Soul experiences in the form of ecstasy of the Self."
