Jnaneshwari & Bhagwat Gita 6
485. '...the Army in the dream, it was not real. I alone, was the only one present there'. Like that, the entire world, comes to the understanding, unto that sacrificer, in one-ness.
487. Then, the Jiva-feeling ends and he gets filled throughout the whole universe, with the perception of (himself as the) Super soul, completely. By the knowledge Sacrifice, like this, so many worship (me), knowing everything, by one-ness.
489. Now, O Arjuna, there are many names & forms etc., without any origin, that also different (from one another). Like this, although there are differences in the world, of so many kinds, yet the knowledge of thiers' does not get pierced (by duality).
491. Different different organs of one single body. One single Sun, so many different rays. Or else, there are branches, big and small, really, but the tree is only one...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
493. Like that, different-different names, different-different kinds of persons, and those behaviourial characteristics, which are different-different. Like this, there are different different creatures, yet, really, (all the creatures are) of me alone, they know.
495. Such a good knowledge-sacrifice they perform, accepting the different-different parts (diversity). But they are knowers, hence thier knowledge of one-ness, does not get pierced at all.
497. Or whenever, wherever, whatever they see, (that is) not (existing) without me, this itself is (thier) understanding.
498. Look at the bubble, wherever it goes, at it's place, there is water itself. Then, whether it remains as it is, or dissolves, then all of that also, (happens) in water itself.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
500. When the wind blows away particles of earth (dust), does the earth-ness of them disappear ? And even if they come down back, then, the earth itself collects them.
502. Like that, the class of things & beings, let it exist or do not exist, wherever it wants, in whatever state it wants, O Partha (Arjuna), yet by all means, i myself am all that, like this itself is thier experience.
504. O Dhananjaya (Arjuna), as much (big) this pervasiveness of mine is, that much (big) is the experience (comprehending) of thiers also.
505. Like this, they, having become one with my form, O look, they roam in so many different forms.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
506. On going & seeing, just as the disc of the sun is always seen in the front of the face itself, for all. Like that, all pervading is thiers', that knowledge. Hence they are in front of face (naturally available), for all.
508. For thiers' knowledge, there is no front and back (sides), just like the all-pervading air in the sky. Like that, that much itself is thiers' goodness (virtuousness), as much a completely perfect god i am.
510. That is why, thier worship happens, without doing (it explicitly), o know, naturally itself !
511. Otherwise, everything is me only, then who does not worship me automatically (implicitly) & where ? (I am automatically worshipped everywhere, since i am 'everything')
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
512. But for those, who do not have this knowledge (that I am everything), for them the worship (of them) does not happen.
513. Let it be so, doing an appropriate knowledge-sacrifice,(how) those devotees worship (me), i have told (you). By all, everything gets offered unto me , who am the god of all.
515. Always, continuously, such itself, o know, does this natural (automatic) worship (of mine) happen. But the people of slow intellect (fools), do not know anything of this. That is why, they do not have my attainment.
अहं क्रतुरहं यज्ञः स्वधाहमहमौषधम् ।
मन्त्रोऽहमहमेवाज्यमहमग्निरहं हुतम् ॥ १६॥
517. The rising of the knowledge, when it will happen inside (oneself), then verily that basic Veda, is me myself. And whatever ordinances & rites that it dictates, then that 'KRATU'*, that also, o know, is me myself.
Kratu * - An animal sacrifice
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
519. From those actions (ordinances & rites), the full sacrificial fire, that manifests later, that also i am myself. The oblations that are given unto gods & fore-fathers (in the sacrifice), that food, O Kiriti (Arjuna) , is me myself, O know.
521. I myself am SOMA* and such other vegetation (plants) of different kinds. The clarified butter (ghee), i am O Arjuna, the SAMIDHA** i am. The Mantra (hym), the items that are to be offered, the Ritwik*** also i am myself. My form itself, is that (sacrificial) fire also.
523. In that (fire) whatever is done (offered) as an oblation, all of that, O know, i am myself.
पिताहमस्य जगतो माता धाता पितामहः ।
वेद्यं पवित्रमोंकार ऋक्साम यजुरेव च ॥ १७॥
524. By whose, bodily association, the Prakriti, which is eight fold, gives birth to the world, that father is me.
*SOMA - A sacred plant that is used as an offering in the sacrifice.
**SAMIDHA - Wooden sticks that are used to kindle the sacrificial fire
*** RITWIK - The priest who presides over the sacrifice
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
525. Look, just as in the half-woman* form of god, the man who is the woman, he himself becomes (the woman), like that in the movable & immovable, the mother of the universe, i am myself. I myself am the creator, really, of this world.
527. Having been created, where the world resides, and this life grows, by all means, really, O Arjuna, that place, o know, is none other than me.
529. The Prakriti-Purusha have come to be born, in whose mindless** mind, i am really, that great grandfather in the three worlds, of the entire universe, o Pandu-suta (Arjuna).
531. All the knowledge-paths come into which village, unto whom, the Vedas call 'Vedya' (to be known). Getting understanding, where the different-different opinions, attain to union (agreement), naturally itself...
*half-woman form - the form taken by Lord Shiva in which he appears as half Lord Shiva & half goddess Parvati. Also the form taken by Lord Vishnu, in which he appears as half Lord Vishnu & half Mohini
**mindless mind - A mind without any resolutions (sankalpa). The Lord transcends the mind.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
533. And where, O Dhananjaya (Arjuna) look, the recognition of one another has happened unto the Shastras. Where the knowledges, which were lost (separated from one another), do unite, like this, that which is holy, that also i am myself.
535. The four-fold speech, that who is the (resting) place of these, O Dhananjaya (Arjuna) know, like this that OM-kaar, that who is the sprout of the seed of Brahman, i am myself verily.
537. The A U M letters, on originating, in whose womb, become the three Vedas. Hence, the Rigveda and the Yaju-Saam(veda), says the Atma-ram (Lord), i am myself all the three.
539. Like this, that which is the Veda-Tradition, really, all of that, i am myself, O Dhananjaya (Arjuna)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
गतिर्भर्ता प्रभुः साक्षी निवासः शरणं सुहृत् ।
प्रभवः प्रलयः स्थानं निधानं बीजमव्ययम् ॥ १८॥
540. O Dhananjaya (Arjuna), that PRAKRITI, in whose stomach, the movable & immovable world, is stored (resides), having become exhausted, where she takes rest, by all means, i am that supreme end.
542. Without whose presence, this PRAKRITI really, would not have come to existence itself. And merely by whose ruling, really, she who gives birth to all movable & immovable
544. Having become under the control of that very PRAKRITI, he who enjoys the three Gunas*, such it appears. That husband of the Goddess Lakshmi of the world, i am myself, herein, O Arjuna, truly know this.
546. And the master of the entire three-worlds, how i am that, listen now. That the sky should reside always everywhere, That the wind should not be calm even for a moment...
* Gunas - the three material modes of nature - Satva, Raja, Tama
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
548. ...That the fire should burn everything, that the cloud-king should shower down with rain water. That the mountain should never leave (it's) sitting place, That the ocean should not cross (it's) border.
550. That the earth should do hold (maintain) the creatures (living beings), O Arjuna, know this to be my order.
551. Only if i cause it to speak, does the Veda speak. (Only) if i cause it to work, does work, that sun also. Only if i move it, does the life-force move. This entire world, one who tickles (that i am).
553. Only by my order, does Kala (death) swallow the living beings. Like this, all of these, are obedient unto whom really, such a one who is omni-potent (all-powerful), that Lord of the universe I am, know O Partha (Arjuna).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
555. Although being present everywhere like the sky, one who remains disinterested, that also i am myself.
556. In the movable & immovable (world) of names and forms, look, one who remains filled inside and outside. Likewise, one who remains being a support of even the names & forms, naturally.
558. Just as, of the water itself, have become the waves and just as in the waves, there is that water. Like that where the construction of the world happens, O Arjuna, i am that residence.
560. If (someone) comes to single-pointed surrender unto me, his birth and death, i ward off (put an end to). Hence for the surrendered, i am the only one refuge, forever.
