Commentary called Jnaneshwari by Jnaneshwar:
And it is only natural that those who dedicate their life to me shall receive from me my love and devotion in the measure of their faith. All human beings are naturally inclined to worship my divine being; such of them as are corrupted by ignorance and lack of spirutual insight, are victims of divided faith and they imagine me to be of manifold form. They invest the distinctionless being with indistinct shapes, give names to the nameless spirit of the Self, and worship the unname-able Supreme spirit in the shape of many Idols: the essence of the Supreme Self is, in all places and at all times, one and the same; yet through the confusion and error of the mind, they see in it different divisions like high and low.
