Saint Dnyaneshwar
‘क्या आप जिंदा मेंढक खा सकते हैं’ या ‘शेर के मुँह में हाथ डालने की डेयरिंग (साहस) कर सकतेे हैं?’ आपका जवाब क्या है? ऐसा करना मुश्किल है| यदि आपसे कहा जाए कि ‘क्या आप नारियल के पेड़ पर चढ़ सकते हैं?’ तो कुछ लोग ऐसा करने की हिम्मत कर सकते हैं| अब ज़रा ईमानदारी से मनन करके बताएँ कि क्या आप सदा खुश रहने की डेयरिंग कर सकते हैं? ज़रा सोच-समझकर जवाब दें क्योंकि यह कोई मामूली डेयरिंग नहीं है| हर हाल में सदा खुश रहना सबसे बड़ी डेयरिंग (साहस) हैै|
जरा सोचें, इससे बड़ी बात क्या हो सकती है और वह किसने की होगी? जवाब है- सबसे बड़ा साहस संत ज्ञानेश्वर ने किया था, उन्होंने जीवित समाधि ली थी, जिसे संजीवनी समाधि कहा गया| वे पूरी जाग्रति के साथ ध्यान में बैठे और फिर उनका शरीर वापस नहीं उठा| वह ध्यान अखण्ड ध्यान बन गया, समाधि बन गया|
Dnyaneshwari and Amrutanubhav, Dnyaneshwar also wrote Changdev Paasashti. It is said that Changdev was a great Yogi who lived for fourteen hundred years but he was proud and had a big ego. Dnyaneshwar wrote a collection of 65 Ovi addressed to Changdev. Dnyaneshwar also wrote Haripath, which has 28 Abhanga. It stresses the importance of chanting of God’s name as a path to salvation. The society at that time was very unjust toward Dnyaneshwar and his siblings but a mention or response toward this attitude never entered in any of Dnyaneshwar’s writings.
Dnyaneshwar was the unofficial leader of the contemporary saints like Saint Namdev, Saint Gora Kumbhar, Saint Sawata Mali, Saint Narhari Sonar and Saint Chokha Mela.
After composing Amritanubhava, Dnyaneshwar went to on a pilgrimage along with Namdev and other saints of his time. After completing their visits to the holy places, Dnyaneshwar felt that the mission of his life was over. He therefore, expressed his intention to take live Samadhi. Dnyaneshwar entered into Sanjeevan Samadhi, a yogic path to salvation at the age of 21 at Alandi on the banks of River Indrayani. After Dnyaneshwar took the Samadhi, his siblings also decided to end their existence in this world and within a year's time they too reached the ends of their lives.
