Verse 7.22
Verse 7.22: “(And) the man, joined to that (same) faith, longs for the adoration of that Divinity; and he does obtain therefrom (fulfilment of) those desires, seeing that they are (actually) granted by none but myself. (145)
Commentary called Jnaneshwari by Jnaneshwar:
With such erring faith in his mind, he worships that particular deity in the prescribed form, and persists in such worship until he obtains the fulfilment of his desires. Such a devotee succeeds in securing whatever fruit he desires, but even this fruit is My gift.
