अध्याय ७
II श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम II
म्हणोनि आपुलाल्या हिताची नि लोभें I मज आवडे तोही भक्त झोंबे I परी मीचि करे वालभें I ऐसा ज्ञानिया एक II 119 II
पाहें पां दुभतेयाचिया आशा I जगचि धेनूसि करितसे फांसा I परि दोरेंवीण कैसा I वत्साचा बळी II 120 II
कां जे तनुमनप्रमाणें I तें आणिक कांहीचि नेणे I देखतयांतें म्हणे I हे माय माझी II 121 II
तें येणें मानें अनन्यगति I म्हणूनि धेनूही तैसीचि प्रीती I यालागीं लक्ष्मीपती I बोलाले साचें II 122 II
हें असो मग म्हणितलें I जे कां तुज सांगितले I तेही भक्त भले I पढियंते आम्हां II 123 II
परि जाणोनियां मातें I जे पाहों विसरले मागौतें I जैसेन सागरा येऊनि सरितें I मुरडावें ठेलें II 124 II
तैसी अंत:करणकुहरीं जन्मली I जयाची प्रतीतिगंगा मज मीनली I तो मी हे काय बोली I फार करूं II 125 II
एऱ्हवीं ज्ञानिया जो म्हणिजे I तो चैतन्यचि केवळ माझें I हें न म्हणावें परि काय कीजे I न बोलणें बोलों II 126 II
"There are those who seek Me primarily for personal gain, rather than a genuine desire to know and love Me said Lord Krishna. The Dnyani devotee is however the one who seeks Me with a single-pointed devotion, with love directed solely at Me. It is a passionate and unwavering love, characterized by a complete surrender and focus on the divine. The cows are frequently tethered with a rope to restrict their movement, often for the purpose of managing them in a confined area. A calf of cow doesn't need to be tied to relate to the mother cow. The mother cow too reciprocates displaying a strong maternal bond with her calf characterized by nurturing, protection, and a deep emotional connection. The mother cow and calf analogy is closely tied with 'Ananya-gati' or exclusive devotion. It is the state of being completely absorbed in and dedicated to the divine, without any other attachments or distractions. Lord Krishna further said, the other types of devotees too are good and have my affection, yet the Dnyani devotee is unique. Just like a river that flows into the sea doesn't turn back, the Dnyani devotee doesn't get back into the worldly life again after My Realization. The Self Realization is like the spring of Holy Ganga originating in a heart cave. It's merging into the sea is the dissolving of individual existence into a greater whole. Such a Dnyani devotee becomes Me said Lord Krishna. In the truer sense the Dnyani is My Soul Consciousness. It is something not to be uttered at all. Yet now it is revealed."
