Eternal bliss

Haripath - Sant Gnyaneshwar

Meaning
When one receives the grace of a saint, His ego-consciousness dissolves; eventually, leading to a state of Eternal bliss. If you light a piece of camphor, it produces a bright flame; but after a while, both camphor and flame disappear. He joins the company of saints, becomes a devotee of Hari and engages in the pursuit of final emancipation. One who comes under the influence of a saint has arrived at the gates of Liberation; He will attain all glory.


Jnanadev says: I delight in the company of the saints! It is due to their grace that I see Hari everywhere In the jungle, in the crowds, and also in myself.
