Definition

Amritanubhava - a text by Gyaneshwara.

Excerpts

You can see that, what description of a realized soul, given by Gyaneshwara, is so beautiful.He says that, “The moon doesn’t run after moonlight, the sun doesn’t run after sunlight. In that way a realized soul doesn’t bother about his own glory. The sun shines till it shines, then it takes back all his rays. Whatever work the rays have to do they do it. And the sun is just watching, watching all the work, then he takes them back. And he gets completely contained within himself”. Samavun ghene, completely contained within himself. The description He has given of realized souls is so beautiful, if you could just experience it. Namadeva, who was born much later, said that even one line of Gyanesha [MEANS Saint Gyaneshwara, fondly called by a short name] if you could experience, you had that. I wish you all could read Amrutanubhava in English, understanding how He describes a realized soul, and you’ll find that within yourself it has happened. You are different from others very much. You’ll be amazed how you have got such beautiful description of your Self.(1996-12-21)
