Verse 12.8

Verse 12.8: “In Me alone (therefore) infix thy mind: make thine intellect find its home in Me, and then, ever afterwards, thou shall doubtless dwell within Me alone. (97)

Commentary called Jnaneshwari by Jnaneshwar:

Oh you, with the firm determination of your intellect, do infix your mind on me. When both your mind and intellect happily dwell with me, you will certainly attain unto me. Once the mind and the intellect make their home in me, then there is absolutely no scope left for the notion ‘Mine and Thine’. When the (lighted) lamp is put out by a breeze set in motion by waving the skirt of a garment, its brilliance disappears; or the daylight disappears with the Sunset; or when the life-wind begins to escape from the body, the senses also leave the body. In that way, the egotism also automatically accompanies the mind and the intellect. Therefore, dissolve your mind and intellect into Me, and make me their home and then you will also be (as) all-pervading as myself. There exists nothing else than this truth in the world; I declare this on my own oath.
