Sant gyAneshwar calls mind a wandering bee and tells it to leave bad/evil ways. But how can mind leave bad/evil ways, if it wanders like a bee everywhere..?
To answer that, Sant gyAneshwar explains what a wandering bee does..
Like the wandering bee, our mind by nature is a 'bhogi'. To leave bad/evil ways, it has to surrender to that 'lotus' feet, as a bee surrenders to a flower, to taste the nectar. What is that nectar..?
The 'nectar' for mind is the realization of the 'self'. The 'bhogi' bee surrenders to flower, realizes the nectar and spreads its fragrance. Our mind has to surrender to the 'lotus' feet, realize the 'self', to spread its fragrance.
By surrendering to Lotus feet of Lord of Rakumai devi, one realizes their own 'self', spreads its fragrance to all living beings. This realization is the ultimate beauty and wealth (like nectar for bee).
