Humble Request · Asking to Receive the Profound

मन्यसे यदि तच्छक्यं मया द्रष्टुमिति प्रभो । योगेश्वर ततो मे त्वं दर्शयात्मानमव्ययम् ॥

manyase yadi tac chakyaṁ mayā draṣṭum iti prabho, yogeśvara tato me tvaṁ darśayātmānam avyayam.

Meaning

"If You think it is possible for me to see it, O Lord, then, O Master of Yoga, show me Your imperishable Self."
