शक्यो द्रष्ठं स भगवान् प्रभामण्डलदुर्दश: । हाँ, बहुत समयतक उनकी भक्ति करते-करते जब पूरी अनन्यता आ जायगी, तब ज्योति:पुंजेऊ कारण कठिनाईसे देखे जानेवाले भगवान्का दर्शन सम्भव हो सकता है

The Deity—difficult to behold because of the overwhelming circle of radiance—can indeed be seen. Yet such a vision becomes possible only after long devotion ripens into complete one-pointed exclusivity, when the seeker’s steadfast worship overcomes the natural difficulty of perceiving the Lord who shines as a concentrated mass of light.
