Với kẻ vô phước, ngay cả ở cuối giấc mộng cũng không khởi lên thị kiến về Ta. Còn ngươi—nhờ lòng bhakti kiên cố—đã được thấy Ta trực tiếp, đối diện mặt đối mặt.

FAQs
The verse teaches that divine vision (darśana) is not a casual experience; it is conditioned by inner purity and earned merit, and most decisively by unwavering bhakti that draws Bhagavan’s grace into direct perception.
It presents bhakti as the decisive cause (dṛḍha-bhaktitva) for pratyakṣa darśana—devotion that is steady, exclusive, and persistent, rather than occasional faith, becomes the bridge from indirect belief to direct encounter.
No specific Vedanga (like Vyākaraṇa, Jyotiṣa, or Kalpa) is taught in this verse; the practical takeaway is ethical-spiritual discipline—cultivating puṇya and firm bhakti as the ‘qualification’ for higher spiritual experiences.
