“What does ‘Atma darsana’, direct perception of That mean? Seer-seeing-seen – where these three are realized as modifications created by the mind, superimposed on the one all-pervading Consciousness, this realization is called ‘Brahmi sthiti,; Where there is no question of action or non action, there is ‘Atma sthiti’. (One is established in the Self). And for those who worship God with form, direct perception of That means to perceive Him everywhere. Just as it is said: “Wherever my glance falls, there Krsna appears.” If anything is perceived that is not Krsna, one cannot speak of true Vision. In perfect, all-embracing ‘darsana’ the Beloved stands revealed.”
