Commentary called Jnaneshwari by Jnaneshwar:
Look! there is only one spirit pervading the universe, which exists everywhere, and in all bodies and is beyond the reach of destruction, even if one were to attempt it. Every thing takes place naturally by his will-power, what for do you then lament here, pray tell me. I do not see why this appeal, the higher truth fails to. convince you. Viewed from diverse points, such lamentation is unworthy of you.
