“What is scripture? It is in the form of words. As the meanings of those words become clear (are clarified), they become shabdaarth (literal meaning of a word). Then the meaning of the word progress further. As the meaning is clarified further, it reaches parmartha (ultimate meaning). The vision reaches to that level. However, the scriptures cannot change the vision. A ‘Gnani Purush’ [the enlightened one] is needed to change the vision. It is ‘this’ very vision (unchanged vision) that has created the worldly life. The Gnani [the enlightened one] does ‘drashti-bhed’ [gives the vision of what is real and what is relative].”

“When you do devotional viewing (darshan) of God, do it with (pure) intent. When you make the effort to go and do darshan, but you do not do it with the proper intent, then it is in vain. Therefore, do darshan in this way, 'Dear God! The one residing within me is verily You. You are vitaraag (one free from all attachment and abhorrence). I am bowing down to you.' If you do darshan in this way, then God has no choice but to answer the 'phone-call'. If He does not answer, then that is His responsibility. Hence, when a real 'phone-call' comes in, then God will answer it immediately.”
