Commentary called Jnaneshwari by Jnaneshwar:

He alone, know ye, is a true Sthitaprajna who has secured the knowledge of the self and is ever well-fed with the bliss of the form (of the essence) of the Supreme Self. He has dropped all egoism, renounced all desires, abides in the great bliss of the oneness in the Universal life, and is totally united with the Universe.
