Commentary called Jnaneshwari by Jnaneshwar:
All merits and demerits keep close to His Eternal Being, and yet he never even looks at them. And thus truly he does not even become the neutral onlooker of them—not to talk of other activity. Wearing personal forms, he lives sportively the personal life of manifested being: Yet, the state of his being formless and quality-less never suffers any change. It is an idle talk that he creates the entire universe, maintains it and in the end dissolves it, for it is, forsooth all ignorance, hear ye, Oh Son of Pandu.
