Verse 5.17

Verse 5.17: “With thoughts fixed on That, with the soul in tune with That, solely devoted to That, and making That the (ultimate) goal: they-with their defilements entirely shaken off by knowledge-attain a status from which there is no return. (87)

Commentary called Jnaneshwari by Jnaneshwar:

He should be said to have settled in a balanced vision whose intellect has been steady in the Self-vision, who has acquired the knowledge of the Self, is impressed with the realisation that he himself is the (essence of) Supreme Brahman, who has attained eternal life and abides firmly in the essence of the Supreme Brahman, and thus whose heart is the final resting place of all abiding knowledge: What more need be said? There is no wonder if such a one feels the unity of the entire universe in the eternal Being of the Self as his own. The men of wisdom, annul the distinction between themselves and other beings or between being and being, just as the goddess of luck does not, even in jest sport with any poverty, or just as the right-thinking person has never the remotest touch of delusion, or just as the Sun does not even in dream see any shadow of darkness, or just as to the ambrosial essence death is a strange language or just as the Moon never remembers anything being hot.
