„Ishta-devata and Guru are aids – very powerful aids on this path. But an aid to be effective requires your effort also. Your effort is a sine qua non.“

„Ishta-devata and Guru are aids - very powerful aids on this path. But an aid to be effective requires your effort also. Your effort is a sine qua non. It is you who should see the sun. Can spectacles and the sun see for you? You yourself have to see your true nature. Not much aid is required for doing it!“
