Commentary called Jnaneshwari by Jnaneshwar:
Considering the nature of the essential and the unessential, you will realize that delusion and error is related to the unessential while what is called real substance is by its very nature, eternal. That Brahman from which the entire Universe has shaped and bodied itself forth has neither any name nor form, nor colour, nor any characteristic. It is the timeless, all pervasive Being, without birth or death and cannot be destroyed even if an attempt is made.
