Haripath - Sant Gnyaneshwar

 

Meaning

 

This insubstantial universe, is a web of three gunas (Sathva, Raja & Thamaas), Is but His superficial form; His essence is the formless 'I' Which is always the same, Unaffected by the interplay of the qualities. If you discriminate in this way, you will understand that the continual remembrance of Hari is the supreme goal to be attained.

 

Hari is both the Formless and the changing forms; Remember Him, lest your mind wander idly away.

 

He, Himself, has no form; He cannot be seen. He cannot be bound to a single form; He's the Source of all forms, Both the animate and the inanimate.

 

Jnanadev says: Rama-Krishna, the Lord's Name, Has pervaded my mind; He is all I meditate on. Blessed is this birth! I seem to be reaping infinite fruits from the good deeds I performed in the past.
