Vision

Seek the Kingdom of God and His righteousness first, and all other things will be added to you.

As Scripture says, 'Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen' (Hebrews 11:1).

Ignorance is the lack of the divine ability to see the supramental Truth; it is the part of our consciousness that does not perceive, as opposed to the part that sees and knows the truth.

There is none bound, none freed, and none seeking to be free.

Avidya is a form of Prakriti that obscures the spiritual powers of the individual soul, forming a veil that hides the Supreme from the individual's vision.

Whoever sees me in all things and all things in me, will never be separated from me, and I will never be separated from them.

One attains Perfect Knowledge when one sees God in man.

The veil of ignorance clouds our vision and deceives us into seeing others as strangers.

Blessed are those who have pure hearts, for they will see God.

One who sees the supreme Lord dwelling equally in all beings, undying amid the dying — that one truly sees.

If a thousand suns were to rise simultaneously in the sky, that radiance might perhaps resemble the brilliance of that great Soul.

For seeing the Lord equally established everywhere, one does not injure the self by the self — and thereby goes to the highest goal.

But you cannot behold Me with these your own eyes alone; I give you the divine eye — behold My sovereign yoga.

Behold now, O Guḍākeśa, the entire universe in one place, moving and unmoving, here in My body — and whatever else you wish to see.

This space between heaven and earth, and all the directions, is filled by You alone; having seen this Your wondrous and terrible form, O great Soul, all three worlds tremble.

I see You without beginning, middle, or end — of boundless power, of infinite arms, with the moon and sun as Your eyes; I see You with flaming fire as Your mouth, scorching this entire universe with Your own radiance.

I see You crowned, bearing the mace and discus — a mass of radiance blazing on all sides — hard to gaze upon, immeasurable, glowing like burning fire and sun.

I see You with countless arms, bellies, mouths, and eyes — infinite in form on all sides; I see no end, no middle, no beginning of You, O Lord of the universe, O Universal Form.

Arjuna said: I see all the gods within Your body, O God, and likewise all the distinct multitudes of beings; Brahmā the Lord seated on the lotus throne, all the sages, and the divine serpents.

Then Dhanañjaya, overwhelmed with amazement, his hair standing on end, bowed his head before the God and spoke with joined palms.
