Chapter 11 · Vishvarupa Darshana Yoga

Longing for Vision · From Belief to Direct Experience

एवमेतद्यथात्थ त्वमात्मानं परमेश्वर । द्रष्टुमिच्छामि ते रूपमैश्वरं पुरुषोत्तम ॥

evam etad yathāttha tvam ātmānaṁ parameśvara, draṣṭum icchāmi te rūpam aiśvaraṁ puruṣottama.

Meaning

"O Supreme Lord, it is exactly as You have described Yourself; O Supreme Person, I wish to see Your divine, majestic form."

Explanation

Once belief settles in the heart, it naturally moves toward wanting direct, personal experience of the truth.

Today's Life Lesson

Let today's belief grow into a genuine longing to experience truth directly, not just accept it intellectually.
