अध्याय ९
II श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम II
मी सूर्याचेनि वेषें I तपें तैं हें शोषे I पाठीं इंद्र होऊनि वर्षें I तैं पुढती भरे II 296 II
अग्नि काष्ठें खाये I तें काष्ठचि अग्नि होये I तैसें मरतें मारितें पाहें I स्वरूप माझें II 297 II
यालागीं मृत्यूच्या भागीं जें जें I तेंही पैं रूप माझें I आणि न मरतें तंव सहजें I मीचि आहें II 298 II
आतां बहु बोलोनि सांगावें I तें एकीहेळां घे पां आघवें I तरी सतासतही जाणावें I मीचि पैं गा II 299 II
म्हणोनि अर्जुना मी नसें I ऐसा कवणु ठाव असे I फरि प्राणियांचें दैव कैसें I जे न देखती मातें II 300 II
तरंग पाणियेवीण सुकती I रश्मि वातीवीण न देखती I तैसे मीचि ते मी नोहती I विस्मो देखें II 301 II
हें आंतबाहेर मियां कोंदलें I जग निखिल माझेंचि वोतिलें I कीं कैसें कर्म तयां आड आलें I जे मीचि नाहीऔ म्हणती II 302 II
परि अमृतकुहां पडिजे I कां आपणपयातें कडिये काढिजे I ऐसें आथी काय कीजे I अप्राप्तासि II 203 II ग्रासा एका अन्नासाठीं I अंधु धांवताहे किरीटी I आढळला चिंतामणि पायें लोटी I आंधळेपणें II 304 II
तैसें ज्ञान जैं सांडूनि जाये I तैं ऐसी हे दशा आहे I म्हणोनि कीजे तें केलें नोहें I ज्ञानेंविण II 305 II
आंधळेया गरुडाचे पांख आहाती I ते कवणा उपेगा जाती I तैसें सत्कर्माचे उपखे ठाती I ज्ञानेंविण II 306 II
"Lord Krishna said, manifesting as the sun, I dry up the universe. And then in the form of Lord Indra shower upon the earth. Fire burns the wood. The wood is consumed by the fire. Similarly the killer and the victim both are Me. And therefore all that dies is My manifestation and that which is immortal is naturally Me. In short "Sat and Asat" both are Me. "Sat" is that which truly exists, the eternal and unchanging, while "Asat" is that which is temporary, changing, and ultimately unreal, like the material world and its fleeting experiences. There is no place where I am not present. I am present everywhere at all times wholly. Despite this it is their misfortune that the beings do not realize Me. Is it not amazing that those merged into Me deny My presence just like the ripples dry up due to lack of water or rays of light go blind due to lack of lamp? I occupy the universe inside out and the three worlds is My manifestation. Yet the non believers deny My existence. What can be said of such unfortunate, for It is just like falling into the well of Amrut, the divine nectar, but then seeking its edge to get out. A blind running in search of a mouthful, steps on the Chintamani stone, a legendary wish fulfilling gem, yet go past it. The same is the state of those devoid of KNOWLEDGE. And therefore anything done without knowledge goes in vain. The actions taken without proper understanding, awareness, or skill are unlikely to be successful or produce meaningful results. Just like the wings of a blind eagle are futile, without KNOWLEDGE, the efforts towards good deeds go in vain."
