 The Lord named Panduranga is quite a simpleton as he can be easily moved by bhakti but is complex at the same time. Duryodhana and Vidura tried binding the Lord. The bindings used by Duryodhana were materialistic whereas Vidura bound the Lord with bhakti. Lord answered Vidura and you know what happened with Duryodhana.

Sant Dnyaneshwar

The Lord appears finally in front of the Sadhaka just like Dnyaneshwar Mauli describes  “खोळ बुंथी घेऊनि खुणाची पालवी ।”   hiding away from all others under the covering of Maya as the happiness acquired by any sadhaka in Parmartha is purely his own. He tries to speak with him but fails, and wonders how are the talks even going on without any speech. “शब्देवीण संवादू । दुजेवीण अनुवादू  ।। ”

There are four levels of speech Vaikhari the lowest and Para, the highest. Even Para Vaani can’t describe the conversation between him and Viththala,  how can impure Vaikhari describe it?

The Sadhaka tries to touch Viththala’s feet but can’t see anything when he bends down, he can’t even recognize whether Lord is in front of her or at her back. The Sadhaka is bewildered, puzzled. For him, the time has stood still.

After all that he’s gone through, he is desperate to unite with his Lord, his arms are feeling restless to embrace his Lord. The sadhaka embraces the Lord to find that he was standing there alone. He was at his limits now.

Now here Mauli Dnyaneshwar Maharaj says  “दृष्टीचा डोळा”, the sight of wisdom, Instead of “डोळ्याची दृष्टी”, the sight of material eyes. Up until now, the sadhaka was wandering here and there to see Lord Viththala in the outside world with his material eyes. Now when he turned his “डोळ्याची दृष्टी” to “दृष्टीचा डोळा”  , things got drastically changed for him  .
दृष्टीचा डोळा the eye of ‘sight which provides sight to our eyes’. Our eyes gain strength to view from inside, the Para Brahma itself. Drishticha Dola is The eye witnessing The Para Brahma, the Dnyaana Netra.The sadhaka changes into saadhya (the one which is the aim of Saadhana, the Lord himself).

“भीतरीं पालटु झाला”  , insides have changed after having the सौरसू , nectar of अनुभव  , the realisation. The realization dawns on sadhaka that he became the same entity that he once yearned to meet. This is the state of sadhaka described by Adi Shankaracharya in his  “Nirvana Shatakam”
चिदानंद रूपः  शिवोहम् शिवोहम्
The “aham”, my entire existence,  has completely merged with the Shiva.
