“The Rishis were Dhiras Personified (coolness and patience). The term Jnani was introduced later on in the Hinduism. The followers of the Puranas (Mythologies) are called Bhaktas and those who followed the rational way of thinking as outlined by Shankar and other schools of thoughts, such as, Atmajnanis etc. were termed as Jnanis.”
― Sri Jibankrishna or Diamond

“Among basil plants growing wild
Jani loosens her hair:

The Lord with butter in the palm of His hand
Gently massages her head:

“My poor little Jani has no one but me!�
He thinks as he pours down water:

Jani tells all the folks
“My boyfriend gives me a shower. �

(Janabai: Dilip Chitre)”
