Santh Jnaneshwar : Visoba learns his lesson

Om Jai Sai Ram! Verily the task I have undertaken is a very bold one! For how can a dullard like me try to describe the supreme spirit or sing his glory? What can the glowworm say about the Sun? However I draw strength from my Sadguru, who alone is the doer. Sadguru alone makes me type these words. And by falling at his lotus feet, I beseech him to help me in my endeavor. This endeavor of mine is to sing the glory of the Sadguru. In the previous post, I described how Santh Jnaneshwar humbled the king of Yogis Changdev, by showing his spiritual prowess by making a lifeless wall move.

I beseech the Sadguru to help me in singing the glory of the earlier incarnation of Panduranga, Santha Jnaneshwar, who is one with the Sadguru. Like the lamps of Dwarkamayee which he used to light and drive out the darkness, I beseech the Sadguru to drive out my ignorance and my 6 enemies namely sleep,nap,laziness,fear,anger and procrastination. I beseech my Sadguru to help me sing his glories in this blog. About 700 years ago, in the plains of the Deccan, there occurred a confrontation. This confrontation was fabulous.
