Gadhada Last Section Vach. 36 Vachanamrut Rahasyarth Pradeepika Tika

Having listened to all the scriptures, I have formed the following principle: I have travelled throughout this land and have seen many accomplished (siddh) individuals.” Having said this, He talked about His experiences with Gopaldasji and other sadhus. He then continued, “I know that without the upasana of God’s Murti and meditation on the Murti of God, one can never become capable of visualising the soul or Brahm. It is only through having upasana that the soul and Brahm can indeed be visualised; without this, one cannot visualise them. Wishing to visualise the soul and Brahm without having upasana is akin to licking the sky for hundred years; a sour or bitter taste will never be experienced. Without having upasana for the Murti of God, the soul and Brahm can never be seen, regardless of the efforts made to visualise them. It may have been stated in the scriptures that the soul can be visualised through nirbij Sankhya and Yog. Nevertheless, I have never seen anyone who has attained such a state by this. In My experience, such a concept is not feasible, and so, such a notion is false.
