दास भगवन्त के उदास रहैं जगत सौ,
gforen a ph vita hufahrn .... One who has developed the yearning for attaining the atma, whose mind is engrossed in attaining the ultimate, who is the devotee of truth and a true follower of the Jineshwar, who lives without the thought of opposing anybody, who does not look for options - paryaya buddhi, who in spite of not being a deshavirati shravak or a sarvavirati Sadhu always lives in atmagaveshna, whose prowess of the atma is increasing, who is rich with atmalakshmi, who is detached from the world and who is serving at the feet of the Jineshwar - such a samakiti jiva alone is always happy.
Such a samakiti jiva attains parmartha. In fact, its state goes on progressing and it overcomes the savikalpaka state to attain nirvikalpa state and stabilises in it.
In this gatha Srimadji has described the supreme state of a samakiti jiva. This is the state that has importance on the path of moksa. One who has already achieved this state, will always find the right path. He can never take the wrong path. Since the state - dasha - was attained, a direction - disha – was found.
Where the progressive step taken in this state, goes and rests will be detailed later.
