परि हे अप्रासंगिक आलाप I आतां असतु बोलों संक्षेप I जाण तपियांच्या ठायीं तप I तें रूप माझें II 44 II

हें एकेक किती सांगावें I आतां वस्तुजातचि आघवें I मजपासूनि जाणावें I विकारलें असे II 52 II
"Lord Krishna said, i am 'tapa' of 'Tapaswi'. 'Tapa' is a powerful spiritual practice involving intense austerity, self-discipline, and devotion. "'Tapaswi' is a person who is not just physically ascetic but also dedicated to devotion, spiritual inquiry, and a detachment from worldly attachments.
I am the power of the powerful. It implies that the power wielded by rulers, leaders, or powerful individuals is not absolute but a reflection of the divine power that empowers them.
I am the intellect of intelligence, the ultimate source of all knowledge and consciousness.
I am Kam, or desire, a natural human inclination towards pleasure and fulfillment. It is the desire that enhances Dharma, a foundational principle that encompasses duty, righteousness, guiding individuals towards fulfilling their obligations and living a virtuous life. Though Kam is the pursuit of pleasure derived from physical and material experiences, it doesn't let the sense organs go rampant and transcend the boundaries of Dharma. It encourages the individual to engage in actions aligned with their duty, guided by a moral compass. Kam, like a torchbearer illuminates the path of Dharma. Such Kam culminates in the fruition of Dharma. These are the Jeevan-Mukta, the living liberated, living in the world but not of the world.
A vine attaches itself to and grows up the surface of a wall taking it's support. Similarly the one who performs duties as described by glorious Vedas' taking them to their ultimate culmination Moksha, the crowning fruition of all endeavors, just like the vine flourishes as it grows into new sprouts. The Kam, the seed or a force foundational to Creation behind the multiplicity of this manifold universe is also Me said Lord Krishna to Arjun."
