"As You describe Yourself to be the Supreme Lord, it must be so. O Supreme Self, I desire to behold Your divine form."

"I believe all as you have declared it. I now long to have a vision of your divine form, O Most High!"

"If you think, O Lord, that it can be seen by me, then, O Lord of Yoga, reveal Yourself fully to me."

"O Lord, if You deem it possible for me to behold You, then, O Lord of Yoga, show me Your eternal Self."

"If Thou, O Lord, thinkest it possible for me to see it, do Thou, then, O Lord of the Yogis, show me Thy imperishable Self."
