Fervent Appeal for a Face-to-face Chat
उत स्वया तन्वा सं वदे तत्
कदा न्वन्तर्वरुणे भुवानि ।
किं मे हव्यमहृणानो जुषेत
कदा मृडीकं सुमना अभि ख्यम् ॥ ऋग्वेद ७।८६।२ ॥
Meaning – A devotee appeals to God in his/her prayer – O God! Will I keep talking to you through my body only? (You have taught me that I am different from my body, yet I am not able to see myself without it.) When will I find myself inside you (when will I have a direct conversation with you, without the mediation of my body)? Losing His displeasure with me, will the Supreme consider my offering or call to Him (through all the meditation and prayer that I have done all these days)? When will I see the Divine, who gives divine joy by His presence, and thus, become joyful myself?
