FAQs
The verse frames darśana as spiritually efficacious: merely seeing Hari reorders a person’s inner state—desire becomes directed toward the Supreme, and the devotee is “made anew” by that contact.
Desire is not portrayed as autonomous; it is subordinated to Hari. Even kāma is depicted as prompting speech and attraction toward Krishna, implying that longing finds its rightful fulfillment when oriented to the Supreme.
Hari is shown as the supreme center of attraction whose presence transforms beings—supporting Vaishnava thought that divine beauty and grace can purify and elevate the mind into devotion.
