अध्याय ११

II श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम II

हें असो ऐसे सावयव I एथ सासिन्नले आथी रसभाव I तेथे श्रवणसुखाची राणीव I जोडली जगा II 11 II
जेथ शांतादभूत रोकडे I आणि येरां रसां पडप जोडे I हें अल्पचि परी उघडें I कैवल्य येथ II 12 II
तो हा अकरावा अध्यावो I जो देवाचा आपणपें विसंवता ठावो I परि अर्जुन सदैवांचा रावो I जे एथही पातला II 13 II
एथ अर्जुनचि काय म्हणों पातला I आजि आवडतयाही सुकाळु जाक्षला I जे गीतार्थु हा आला I मऱ्हाठिये II 14 II
याचिलागीं आतान माझें I विनविलें तें आइकिजे I तरी अवधान दीजे I सज्जनीं तुम्हीं II 15 II
तेविंची तुम्हां संतांचिये सभे I ऐसी सलगी कीर करूं न लभे I परि मानावें जी तुम्हीं लोभें I अपत्या मज II 16 II
अहो पुसां आपणचि पढविजे I मग पढे तरी माथा तुकिजे I कां करविलेनि चोजें न रिझे I बाळका माय II 17 II
तेंविं मी जें जें बोलें I तें प्रभु तुमचेंचि शिकविलें I म्हणोनि अवधारिजे आपुलें I आपण देवा II 18 II
हें सारस्वताचें गोड I तुम्हींचि लाविलें जी झाड I तरी आतां अवधानामृतें वाड I सिंपोनि कीजे II 19 II
मग हें रसभावफुलीं फुलेल I नानार्थफळभारें फळा येईल I तुमचेनि धर्में होईल I सुरवाडु जगा II 20 II

"This confluence of rasas, a composition that blends multiple rasas (emotional essences or aesthetic flavors) into a single, harmonious, and beautiful experience is a treat to the listeners. It is where the Shanta rasa and Adbhut Rasa take main stage, yet other rasas too contribute appropriately. It is the lived experience and visible expression of achieving ultimate spiritual freedom and union with the Supreme Reality (Brahma), manifesting as a profound state of bliss, contentment, and Self-Realization. It is this Chapter 11, the auspicious place of retreat to the Lord of the universe. One of the most significant fortunes for Arjun was the opportunity to receive the profound teachings of the Bhagavad Gita directly from Lord Krishna, a conversation that addressed the existential dilemmas of warfare and life. For others as well it was a great fortune as it explains Bhagwad Gita's complex philosophies in accessible Marathi verse, making them available to the masses through relatable metaphors and everyday language. The poetic language and relatable metaphors to explain profound concepts, makes it both spiritually uplifting and aesthetically beautiful. And therefore let me have your attention, as I humbly request you good souls to allow me to attempt it to the best of my ability and seek your kindness for any imperfections. Teaching a parrot to talk and enjoying when it starts talking or just like mother teaches her child different things and then takes immense joy when the child learns to do them. Similarly all that I speak stems from what I have learnt from you. I request you to listen to your teachings. You have sown with your own hands this rich literature tree. Let it have the sprinkling of your attention Amrut for it to flourish, so that flowers of Rasa-Bhava bloom. 

(Bhava is the state of mind or expressed emotion by a performer, while Rasa is the resulting "flavor" or aesthetic experience that the listeners derive from that expression.)

 It will be a tree laden with fruits that are the profound meaningful insights of Bhagwad Gita. Your virtuousness manifest as bliss to the universe."
