अध्याय ९

II श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम II

आतां आणिकही संप्रदायें I परी मातें नेणती समवायें I जे अग्निइंद्रसूर्यसोमाये I म्हणऊनि यजिती II 344 II
तेही कीर मातेंचि होये I कां जे हें आघवे मीचि आहें I परि ते भजती उजरी नव्हे I विषम पडे II 345 II
पाहे पां शाखा पल्लव रुखाचे I हे काय नव्हती एकाचि बीजाचे I परी पाणी घेणें मुळाचें I तें मुळींचि घापे II 346 II
कां दहाही इंद्रियें आहाती I इयें जरी एकेचि देहींचीं होती I आणि इहीं सेविले विषय जाती I एकाचि ठाया II 347 II
तरि करोनि रससोय बरवी I कानी केविं भरावी I फुलें आणोनि बांधावीं I डोळां केवीं II 348 II
तेथ रसु तो मुखेंचि सेवावा I फरिमळु तो घ्याणेंच घ्यावा I तैसा मी तों यजावा I मीचि म्हणोनि II 349 II
येर मातें नेणोनि भजन I तें वायांचि गा आनेंआन I म्हणोनि कर्माचे डोळे ज्ञान I तें निर्दोष होआवें II 350 II

"Many other religions do not recognize the All-Pervading-ness of Me. They perform yadnya for Fire, Lord Indra, Sun, Som, yet all ultimately reach Me only because I am within all. This way of worship is however not straight. It's odd in a way. Though the branches and leaves of a tree sprout from one  seed, it is the roots that take the water in. Therefore the roots are watered. The enjoyer of the ten sense organs and their respective subjects is one. Can the delicious food be filled in ears or fragrant flowers adorned over eyes? No. The juices of food are meant for the mouth and nose is meant to enjoy the fragrance. Similarly My worship is meaningful only by recognizing My True Self. Otherwise it goes in vain just like odds coming together. And therefore Karma must be done with the eyes of KNOWLEDGE, the sight being clear and impeccability flawless."
