Therefore, for one who has realized God, what happens? Their dṛṣṭi—their gaze, their kindness, their love—becomes like God’s. One who has recognized God takes on a divine appearance, mercy, and warmth. They see God everywhere. Wherever they go, they feel the presence of God. At that time, in every creature they see only one essence, and that is God. In every being here, they see only one tattva, which is called Paramātmā. Thus we say, "Hari Hi Oṃ"—Hari is Oṃ, and Oṃ is Hari. Consider the greeting among some German-speaking people: "Grüß Gott." It means, "I greet God in you." This surely began with someone who was realized, who was on the path to realization, or who had read the Upaniṣads. Such greetings originate from one who recognized God or was close to Him. Otherwise, they would simply say "Good day." And now, in the modern hectic world, they don't even say "Guten Tag," they only say "Tag." In Hindi, we might say "ṭhīk." So they say "Tag," and we say "ṭhīk." In India, we have an answer: "Sub-ṭhik-ṭhak." Yes, this is our normal language: "Sub-ṭhik-ṭhak, sub-ṭhik-ṭhak." So, "ṭhak ṭhik ṭhik-ṭhak-ṭhā"—such is the language. In any case, one who realizes God is kind and merciful to all creatures. They see only the One in every being, which is God. At that time, that person sees God everywhere. Here and there, you have divine darśan. But very few people possess this. In modern life, however, the majority rules. It is not that the minority holds no value, but the majority sets the values. Thus, in the Kali Yuga, that Bhagavad-darśana resides with the minority. The majority has no darśana. Since they lack this vision, they cannot give a correct commentary on darśan, yet they attempt to do so. To them, the commentary of those who have darśan is called hallucination and schizophrenia. Then there is a treatment, and again, more confusion arises. These modern illnesses of hallucinations and schizophrenia are definitely not of a God-realized person. They are transmitted from animals to humans—from those ill animals that were killed for meat and that people consumed. Now these symptoms exist in some, passing from generation to generation. It is hard to purify, but not impossible. Everything is possible. We need Guru Kṛpā, and one must have strong willpower to overcome. For a bhakta who has realization, every day, everywhere, He is God. They see God every day. It is beautiful. --- Recording location: Hungary, Vep, Summer seminar
