*Sant Dnyaneshwar realised that the Gita's teachings could be read and
understood only by a small Sanskrit-knowing elite. Dnyaneshwar, under the
advice of his guru, Nivrathinath, rendered a Marathi version of the Gita
known as Dnyaneshwari. It contains more than 9,000 verses called ovies. So
Sant Dnyaneshwar brought the teachings of the Gita within reach of the
common man. Dnyaneshwari was composed around the twelfth century, when
Dnyaneshwar was only 16 years old. Teen-ager Dnyaneshwar lived and attained
samadhi in Alandi at a tender age of twenty-one. and left this mortal
world. Dnyaneshwari has since been translated into several Indian languages.
*
*Dnyaneshwar presented his work to his guru Nivrathinath and sought his
blessings. He did this through a poem of just nine verses called Pasayadan.
Pasayadan literally means a request, asking for boons from God. In the
Pasayadan, Dnyaneshwar asked nothing for himself but he prayed for the
well- being of entire mankind.
In the second verse of Pasayadan Dnyaneshwar requests the Lord to grant him
a boon which will remove all evils from wicked persons, putting them on a
righteous path. The evils in human beings are indulgence, anger, greed,
ride; Kama, Krodh , Lobh , Matsar and Ahankar . He prayed that these evils
be replaced by kindness, humility, tolerance, forgiveness and devotion and
surrender to God.
Dnyaneshwar says, let the people of the world be happy and let them do good
deeds to make others happy. Dnyaneshwar says that while flowing streams
provide water needed for life, the banyan tree provides shade and shelter
from the sun's heat, without any expectations. Being good and doing good to
others without evil thoughts or expectations of rewards, is the first step
towards spiritual attainment.
Next, Dnyaneshwar requests God to remove ignorance from our lives and
replace it with enlightenment and divine light to achieve our goal, to let
everyone adhere to his swadharma or his own sacred duty towards others. If
everyone sticks to swadharma there will be no conflict and happiness will
prevail. Dnyaneshwar requests God to fulfil the genuine desires and
aspirations of all. All pious persons who perform their duty without any
expectations or returns, will ultimately desire to become one with the
Supreme.*

ज्या व्यक्ती खळ( वाईट प्रवृत्तीच्या )आहेत त्यांच्यातील खलत्व ( वाईट
प्रवृत्ती ) नुसतीच जावो (नष्ट होवो) नव्हे तर त्यांची प्रवृत्ती सतप्रवृत्तीत
परावर्तीत व्हावी आणि ह्याची फलश्रुती म्हणजे सर्वच व्यक्ती सर्वांचे मित्रा
होवोत ! { जेथे भगवंताने सुद्धा "विनाशायच दुष्कृताम" ( दुष्टांचा नाश
करण्यासाठी )साठी मी जन्म घेतो असे म्हंटले तेथे त्याही पुढे जाऊन
ज्ञानेश्वरांनी असा "प्रसाद" मागितला}*

May the evil minded, their wickedness shed | May their intellect turn to
pious and good deeds
instead ||
May all living beings find themselves bonded | By friendly ties of soul
companionship ||2||
