ABUNDANT JOY OF SENTIMENTS
:21: ONCE HAVING PERFECT DARSHAN OF THE SELF EVERYWHERE PERFECTION
Oh my lord! I am surprised to hear your talk. I am really stunned. Now I feel that instead of searching you, it is essential for me to search myself There is no other alternative but to have "DARSHAN' of one's self rather than 'DARSHAN' of the world or the lord of the world. In the vicious circle of deception- treachery - fraud- intriguestrickeries- deceit- illusions- delusion-bewitchment etc. it is indeed very difficult even to know myself. Without seeing one's own self critically perfectly, 'DARSHAN' of the world or the lord of the world is incomplete. Only after having 'DARSHAN' of the self 'DARSHAN' of the world or of the lord of the world may be found perfectly sweet. After seeing, observing perfectly one's own shortcomings gaining of absolute perfection can become possible. Observing of an absolute perfection in the self creating intoxication of false pride leads towards the road of total destruction. In observing perfection in the self leads towards imperfection. In obsering shortcomings in the self leads towards perfection. But in the self 'DARSHAN' of imperfection should be perfect; not imperfect. 'DARSHAN' of imperfection in the self not in respect of expectations
