अध्याय दुसरा

II श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम II

पार्था आणीकही परी I तो जाणों येईल अवधारीं I जैसी अक्षोभता सागरीं I अखंडित  II 357 II
जऱ्ही सरितावोघ समस्त I परिपूर्ण होऊनि मिळत I तऱ्ही अधिक नोहे ईषत् I मर्यादा न संडी II 358 II
ना तरी ग्रिष्मकाळीं सरिता I शोषुनी जाती समस्ता I परी न्यून नव्हे पार्था I समुद्र जैसा II 359 II
तैसा प्राप्तीं ऋद्धिसिद्धी I तयासी क्षोभु नाहीं बुद्धी I आणि न पवतां न बाधी I अधृती तयातें II 360 II
सांगें सूर्याच्या घरीं I प्रकाशु काय वातीवेरी I कीं न लविजेचि तरी अंधारीं I कोंडेल तो II 361 II
देखें ऋद्धि सिद्धि तयापरी I आली गेली से न करी I तो विगुंतला असे अंतरीं I महासुखीं II 362 II
जो आपुलेनि नागरपणें I इंद्रभुवनातें पाबळें म्हणें I तो केवीं रंजे पालिवणें I भिल्लांचेनि II 363 II
जो अमृतासी ठी ठेवी I तो जैसा कांजी न सेवी I तैसा स्वसुखानुभवी I न भोगी ऋद्धि II 364 II
पार्था नवल हें पाहीं I जेथ स्वर्गसुख लेखनीय नाहीं I तेथ ऋद्धिसिद्धि कायी I प्राकृता होती II 365 II

"Lord Krishna said to Arjun, there is another way such a person can be recognised. The sea accommodates water of all the rivers, yet it never overflows on to the land. In the summer the river beds often turn dry, but the sea never runs out of water. Similarly even though the Sthitapradnya has many supernatural powers at his disposal, he never loses his poise. Just like the sun is not bothered about whether the wisp of a lamp is lighted or not, the Sthitaprardnya is least interested of the supernatural powers he possesses, being absorbed in the ecstasy of the Supreme Realization all the time. The senses cannot entice hIm to whom even the abode of Lord Indra is unworthy. Just like when even Amrut is not endearing any more, the rice gruel too is of least importance, similarly for the one who has experienced Self Realization, the possession of supernatural powers is of least significance. Who cares for the supernatural powers when even the heavenly bliss seems trivial."
