Educational Q&A
The verse highlights the ethical posture of humility and reverence: approaching the divine (or the spiritually exalted) with self-restraint, joined palms, and sincere effort, leading to a transformative vision (darśana) of the indwelling Self of all beings.
The narrator describes respectfully approaching a radiant, lotus-eyed deity and receiving direct sight of that divine presence, characterized as the bhūtātmā—the inner spirit pervading all creatures.
