Verse 9.22

Commentary called Jnaneshwari by Jnaneshwar:

There are those, that have, staking their full faith in Me dedicated their entire life to Me; like the poor life-mass in the womb, that does not know of stirring into action, they hold nothing dearer than Me. Their very life they call by Me—supreme God. Thus they live in Me with their entire being, and worship Me in this way with singleness of purpose: of such, indeed, I am in turn the never-failing servant. The moment they are one with My being and live in My path of devotion, all their cares and worries become Mine; and like the mother-bird striving for the offspring, their duties and tasksh become My own tasks and duties. Unmindful of her own hunger and thirst, she always keeps on doing things that conduce for the well-being of her young one. So am I required to provide for the comforts of those that have staked their whole life on my devotion, keeping full faith in Me in all ways. Be it a yearning for union with Me, and I fulfill it; or if they choose to spend their time in serving and worshipping me, I give them the life of Divine love. In this way, I provide for and fulfil whatever they desire and also preserve intact whatever is given them. Thus for them that live by My divine support, I provide whatever they desire and preserve whatever they need for their life.
