Commentary called Jnaneshwari by Jnaneshwar:
Whatever the elders do, is called the religion and it is followed by others (ordinary persons). This is just in accordance with the order of nature and therefore especially the saints of higher insight should continue doing their duties according to their own religion without hesitation.
