Rişhi: Madhuchhandas (RV 1.4.3)
mā
no ati khya ā gahi,
Show not
beyond us, come.
There are several ways in which the Divine responds to the call of
the ardent seeker. The response may be direct or it may be
indirect. The Divine may reveal itself in flashes of illumination
that are beyond the ready understanding of the human mind. This
calls for a further effort on the part of the seeker to grasp and
assimilate its message, an effort which may or may not be entirely
successful. That is why the seer prays to the Divine to come down
to him, to his attained level so that he may commune fruitfully
with its consciousness, become one with it in his being.
Ascent of the lower is seconded and fulfilled
by the descent of the higher.
