arshan means to just behold with your eyes open. Behold what? The
fundamental nature of the human intelligence is such that it cannot
be fulfilled with what it has. If it finds very rudimentary expression,
it will think of money, property, conquest or shopping. Some go shopping
with swords and guns, some with handbags. These are just rudimentary
expressions of the same fundamental longing the longing that cannot be
contained with what you have. There are many pacifying teachings of
contentment and fulfillment, but how many have worked even for a single
human being?
If you have an effervescent intellect, it wants to be something more.
Nobody can stop this. Suppose you go for money, you are not looking for

more, you are looking for all and that is never going to happen. It is not
practical. The lifespan that you have will go wasted counting numbers.
You can add as many zeros as you want, but it will not serve as any
practical solution to life. Money to meditation is not just a refinement, you
are becoming practical and sensible. It is not changing your direction of
life, it is just that you have understood that more is not going to fulfill
you. What you want is all.
If you want all, it does not make sense approaching it physically because
physical means small or big, not all. The intelligence that you call a
human being is longing for the truth about the nature of our existence.
It does not want to stop here or there, it wants to go all out. Today, if you
are tired or sick, you will say Oh, its enough! Tomorrow morning, if
there is a little energy coursing through your nerves, you are ready again
because that is the nature of being human.
You are searching for that which
is limitless unknowingly,
unconsciously. If something is
limitless, it is everywhere. Your
predicament is just this you are
looking for something that is
everywhere, but your instruments
of perception cannot perceive
anything unless there is a context
darkness and light, male and
female, day and night, this and
that. If there is only this and this
your sense organs cannot perceive it. If there is hot and cold, you can

perceive it. If there is just one, you cannot perceive it. The longing is for
that truth which is limitless in its nature, but the instruments of perception
are lacking.
What Darshan means is just this downgrading your longing a little bit.
Instead of looking for that which is the ultimate and limitless, start
looking at something that is an embodiment of that limitlessness.
Something that is soaked in that limitlessness, which exudes the fragrance.
A Guru becomes a possibility because he is a limited entity. Otherwise, you
could not perceive anything that does not have a context. Certain things
are needed for the sense organs to proceed. The Guru is soaked with the
fragrances of limitlessness. You just have to behold, not try to understand,
not try to think it through, not to try to grasp nothing. Simply look.
What does it mean to be in a state of Darshan? Your body is a certain kind
of reverberation, your thought is another kind of reverberation and your
emotion is another kind. What you call the life within you is yet another
kind of reverberation. To be in a state of Darshan is to allow this life to
simply tremble with too much tenderness. When the tenderness of life
overtakes the body, thought and emotion, then you are in a state of
Darshan; you are truly beholding.
What is the point? The point is that you can have a taste of a dimension
which is limitless, and for which you have no instruments of perception
yet. Without having a tongue, you can have a taste of the soup.
Love & Grace,

Sounds of Isha performs Kabirs Naiharwa, as composed and sung by
Kailash Kher. Below is the video and lyrics translated into English.

My Parents House
I dont find any interest in my parents house
My Beloveds Town is most beautiful
However, nobody goes or comes from there
There is no moon, sun, wind or water
Then who will take my message there?

Then who will tell my pain to my Beloved?
There is no visible path to move forward
And you blame the past for it
How should the bride go to the house of her Beloved?
Powerful pangs of separation are burning from inside
The pleasure of the senses is driving to dance on its tune
There is none other than Sadhguru who is mine
Who can tell me the way
Kabir says, Listen, oh seeker,
Your Beloved will come in a dream-like state
That alone will quench the thirst of your heart

Really, tears are just flowing and trickling down my cheeks...no way to stop
them...just dissolving in this song is like a BSP in itself...Ma Janani's voice has so
much depth...it shakes something in you, destroys something in you...makes you
feel more free, more centred...and the pregnant words of Kabir....
