Verse 8
The path to the Being
traverses from consciousness
through the company of
the Wise ones.
The self pours out
in devotion
to unite with the Being
dissolving separateness.
Thus is developed
a taste for the elixir,
thus is learnt the art of living.
The realization is instantaneous
and help immediate at hand.
The step is simple, yet
rarely seen.

To understand the myriad ways of the mind, you have to seek the company of the Wise ones. Our utterances come from the self and can reach the essence of the soul, by their Grace. Once you taste the bliss, you will grow eager to have it again. The adept ones unite such practices with their daily living. With devotion overflowing, the result is electric and instantaneous, as evidenced in the cases of Prahlada and Uddhava. Jnaneswara says the path is so simple, yet not many are seen to take it.

Do I live each moment fully? Hardly. My mind is wandering as I sit, talk, listen or do other things. There are only a few moments of complete attention. Then there is nothing else and nothing.
I like your encouragement to seek the company of the wise ones. It has been the key to my improvements.
