FAQs

Spiritual life is sustained by ongoing connection with the Divine—darśana is not a one-time event but a continual need.

The verse continues the Kedāra/Kailāsa context, though no single tirtha-name is stated in this line.

A general prescription is implied: seek darśana continually (through worship, remembrance, pilgrimage, or inner contemplation).
