These are the last words Gyaneshwar Maharaj sang before leaving the body at 22
pasaayadana
- May the Self of the universe be pleased with this sacrifice of words and bestow His grace on me.
- May the sinners no longer commit evil deeds, may their desire to do good increase, and may all beings live in harmony with one another.
- May the darkness of sin disappear, may the world see the rising of the sun of righteousness, and may the desires of all creatures be satisfied.
- May everyone keep the company of saints devoted to God, who will shower their blessings on them.
- Saints are walking gardens filled with wish-fulfilling trees, and they are living villages of wish- fulfilling gems. Their words are like oceans of nectar.
- They are moons without blemish and suns without heat. May these saints be the friends of all people
- May all beings in all the worlds be filled with joy, and may they worship God forever
- May all those for whom this book is their very life be blessed with success in this world and the next
- Then, Nivrittinath, the great Master said that this blessing will be granted. This brought great joy to Jnaneshwar.
