Just as one solitary Sun Manifests in countless rays of light, One solitary supreme Being, Lord Rama, Manifests Himself in all these countless forms

Nama Article 6th August 2011

 

Haripath - Sant Gnyaneshwar

 

Meaning

 

One should always Chant the Name of Hari, keeping away any second. But, alas, such mastery in the awareness of Unity is rare. First one must practice the vision of equality; only Hari must be seen everywhere. For this, the mind and senses must be restrained. When all these essential requirements are fulfilled, one merges in Hari, and becomes Hari, Himself.

 

Just as one solitary Sun Manifests in countless rays of light, One solitary supreme Being, Lord Rama, Manifests Himself in all these countless forms.

 

Jnanadev says: My mind is fixed on one unfailing practice; the chanting of Hari's name. Thus, I've attained liberation.
