उपाधी देहेबुद्धीते वाढवीते।
परी सज्जना केविं बाधु शके ते॥१६८॥

परी शेवटी शंकरा कोण जाळी॥१७५॥

देहेबुद्धिचा निश्चयो ज्या ढळेना।
तया ज्ञान कल्पांतकाळी कळेना॥
परब्रह्म तें मीपणे आकळेना।
मनी शून्य अज्ञान हे मावळेना॥१९१॥
Verse 191: He who has conscious at the level of sensual pleasures can never understand the truth. The eternal spirit cannot be experienced by him who has ego. If we think that everything is blank then this is our ignorance.

नव्हे दृश्य अदृश्य साक्षी तयाचा।
श्रुती नेणती नेणती अंत त्याचा॥१९३॥
Verse 193: He is beyond all consciousness. He cannot be understood. That does not mean that he is not there. He is neither visible nor invisible. He is observing all. When a discussion of God starts in Vedas, Vedas say that he is beyond all discussions.
वसे हृदयी देव तो कोण कैसा।
पुसे आदरे साधकू प्रश्न ऐसा॥
देहे टाकिता देव कोठे पहातो ।
परि मागुता ठाव कोठे रहातो॥१९४॥
Verse 194: Where does the God reside in our mind. This is a question asked by a devotee. He wants to know where the God will reside when our body falls. At that time whether god will shift his place.
बसे हृदयी देव तो जाण ऐसा।
नभाचेपरी व्यापकू जाण तैसा॥
सदा संचला येत ना जात कांही।
तयावीण कोठे रिता ठाव नाही॥१९५॥
Verse 195: God in our mind is as wide as the sky. He neither comes from anywhere nor goes to anywhere. He is always there. Nothing exists in this world without him.

रिता ठाव या राघवेवीण नाही॥
तया पाहता पाहता तोचि जाले।
तेथे लक्ष आलक्ष सर्वे बुडाले॥१९६॥

तया पाहता देहबुद्धी उरेना।
सदा सर्वदा आर्त पोटी पुरेना॥१९७॥

रघूनायका ऊपमा ते न साहे॥
दुजेवीण जो तोचि तो हा स्वभावे।

अती गुढ ते दृश्य तत्काळ सोपे।
दुजेवीण जे खुण स्वामिप्रतापे॥१९९॥
Verse 199: God is always in existence. He is boundless. He cannot be understood through logic. A preceptor can merge us with the God.
कळे आकळे रुप ते ज्ञान होता।
तेथे आटली सर्वसाक्षी अवस्था॥
मना उन्मनी शब्द कुंठीत राहे।
तो रे तोचि तो राम सर्वत्र पाहे॥२००॥
Verse 200: He who realises Lord Rama finds him in existence everywhere.

विदेहीपणे सर्व काया निवाली॥२०१॥

Verse 204: Good association results in detachment from the world. Good association leads to salvation.
मनाची शते ऐकता दोष जाती।
मतीमंद ते साधना योग्य होती॥
चढे ज्ञान वैराग्य सामर्थ्य अंगी।
म्हणे दास विश्वासत मुक्ति भोगी॥२०५॥
Verse 205: Let us remove impurities of our mind by listening to the verses for mind. Let us transform our conscious that is dull into an alert one. Let us gain knowledge, detachment to the world and ability of mind by listening to the verses for mind. Let us follow the royal path for attaining salvation.
