तंव श्रोते म्हणती दैव I कैसी बोलाची हवाव I काय नादातें हन बरव I जिणोनी आली II 132 II
हांहो नवल नोहे देशी I मऱ्हाटी बोलिजे तरी ऐशी I वाणें उमटताहे आकाशीं I साहित्यरंगाचें II 133 II

"Subsequent to listening to Sant Dnyaneshwar the listeners said, it is our privilege to have an opportunity to hear such a glorious account, a remarkable and impressive narrative, particularly one that is full of beauty, splendor and glory. The pleasing, gentle, and kind qualities conveyed by these words beat even that by a melodious song. These words are the Moonlight of Wisdom. They resonate with the deep understanding of Divine Wisdom, the illumination or insight gained through spiritual KNOWLEDGE or understanding. The moon, with its gentle light, is a common symbol for illumination and guidance. The verses or Shloks' of Bhagwad Gita are the blossoming lotus in the gentle light from the moon, their delicate petals sparkling under the mystical glow. Even the desire-less were tempted to listen to this enlightening narrative. Seeing them delighted Sant Dnyaneshwar drew their attention to him again. He said, Lord Krishna was like a dawn to Pandavas'. Dawn symbolizes the emergence of new ideas and possibilities, representing awakening and enlightenment. It was a complex and profound relationship rooted in friendship, kinship, and divine guidance. Lord Krishna was born to Devaki, He was reared by Yashoda, but ultimately it all came to He becoming the saviour to Pandavas' in every way. Arjun was the recipient of the Divine Grace of Lord Krishna without serving Him for long time or without awaiting His Grace to descend upon him because of the immense moral merit he had, accumulated from good deeds or virtuous actions from his past lives. Now without elaborating any more let me now proceed with the main theme said Sant Dnyaneshwar to the listeners.
Having listened to Lord Krishna, Arjun said, the facets of personality of the saintly beings you so described are lacking in me and neither do I have the merit for it. But with Your guidance it is possible. With Your Will, I will become Bramha, the Supreme Reality Itself. I am ready to to everything You want me to do. I may not know about the saintly being You are talking about, but if I become like them, my happiness will be unparalleled. And so Arjun urged Lord Krishna earnestly to guide him about how he can attain the state of a saintly being. So be it, said Lord Krishna with a knowing smile."
