Verse 6.45

Verse 6.45: “And were he with diligence to make the effort, the Yogin, cleared of all defilement, and having reached perfection at the end of a series of antecedent lives, thereafter gains the Goal Supreme. (465)

Commentary called Jnaneshwari by Jnaneshwar:

Since he reaches the bank of the state of Self-perfection, after crossing the barriers of crores of years, or of thousands of births, (it follows that) all the means of his success in emancipation automatically follow him and consequently he easily becomes the master of the kingdom of true knowledge. The right vision of the Supreme divine then is slackened in speed, as it is merged in the Supreme Brahman, which in itself is beyond the limits of thought. There then are melted the clouds of the mind, and also are destroyed the powers of the mind, while the eternal sky is absorbed in itself. The phrase describing the deep and unutterable bliss in which even the top of the sacred ‘Om’ gets drowned, turns back and recedes. He becomes the very image of that formless ‘Brahmic’ state which is (also) called the Supreme. He having already swept out completely all dirt in the water in the form of all sorts of fancies (accumulated) during a series of past births, the auspicious hour (fixed) for wedding approaches (lagnaghaṭikā buḍālī) as soon as he nears a contact with such state, and then he gets wedded to the ‘Brahmic’ state, and is merged into it. Just as the melted clouds merge in the sky, in that way he himself becomes, even while in his body form, that Supreme Brahman, from which the entire universe springs and into which also it turns to be dissolved.
