Gita Shloka of the Month na tu maam shakyase drashtum
anenaiva sva-chakshushaa
divyam dadaami te chakshuh
pashya me yogam aishvaram || 11.8 ||
But you cannot see Me with your present eyes. Therefore I give you divine eyes. Behold My mystic opulence!
Vivekachudamani Shloka of the Month Tejas’eeva tamo yatra
praleenam bhraanti-kaaranam|
adviteeye pare tattve
nirvisheshe bhidaa kutah || 402 ||
As in light all darkness subsides, so when the cause of all error disappers, where then is there diversity in that One without a second, the Supreme Self, which alone is real.
