This is verse 7.30 of the Jnaneshwari (Bhavartha-Dipika), the English translation of 13th-century Marathi commentary on the Bhagavad-Gita.—The Dnyaneshwari (Jnaneshwari) brings to light the deeper meaning of the Gita which represents the essence of the Vedic Religion. This is verse 30 of the chapter called Jnana-vijnana-yoga.

Verse 7.30:Who know Me as the inner essence of the Elemental beings, and the inner essence of the Divine beings, and the inner entity of the Sacrifice: they, with the minds perfectly attuned, retain knowledge of Me even at the time of death.” (180)

Commentary called Jnaneshwari by Jnaneshwar:

Those (seekers) are not distressed at the dissolution of body at death, who have, with self-realization that I am the inner essence manifested in the Elemental beings of cosmos,—come near Me, the inner essence of Divine beings, and who have, on the strength of their knowledge, begun to see in Me, the inner essence of the Sacrifice. Indeed are not even those beings, not due to die (yet), so painfully agitated and feel that the time of world-dissolution has arrived, at seeing the pangs of one about to have his life-cord snapped? It is not known how, yet those that have clung closely to Me, do not, even in the bustle of their departure (death) forget Me. Those that have reached perfection, should normally be taken as being the true Yogins, with their minds perfectly attuned.
