श्रीसद्गुरुरुवाच
अनन्यचेताः सततं यो नित्यं भजतीक्ष्वरम् |
योगक्षेमं तदीयं तु भगवान् वहति स्वयम् ||
प्रतिष्ठानपुरे कक्ष्चिदेकनाथ इति श्रुतः |
आसीद्वेदान्ततत्वज्ञो ब्राह्मणो वैष्णवोत्तमः ||
गृहस्थो धनवान्नित्यं सज्जनाराधनप्रियः |
प्रशान्तहृदयो योगी नामकीर्तनतत्परः ||
सदाचारेण संयुक्तो विट्ठले दृढभक्तिमान् |
विरक्तो विजितात्मा च नित्योत्सवकरो हरेः ||
चक्रे प्राकृतभाशायामेकनाथो महामतिः |
श्रीमद्भागवतं ग्रन्थं ज्ञानवैराग्यवर्धनम् ||
नित्यं भक्तसमाजेपि श्रीमद्भागवतस्य वै |
स्वयं प्रवचनञ्चक्रे भक्तिपूर्वं द्विजोत्तमः ||
Shri Sadguru said
Shri Bhagavan Himself looks after the welfare of that man who is ever engaged in the dhyana of Eashwara. An exalted vaishnava named Ekanatha was living in Pratishthanapuram. He was a brahmana and an exponent of the Vedanta. He was a very rich householder. He used to attend on sadhus daily. He was a yogi and had a very calm disposition. He was unattached and had a very good conduct. He had subdued all his senses. He had unflinching faith in Lord Vitthala and was worshipping Shri Panduranga daily in a vert systematic way with all due rituals. He had the chanting of the Divine Names as the only object of his life. He rendered a Marathi version of Shrimad Bhagavatam which is capable of bestowing one with true knowledge and an unattached attitude. Daily he used to give discourses on Shrimad Bhagavatam in the midst of the bhaktas.
