> 1. How blessed am I to see Thee to-day after a long period (of worship and meditation); (for) it is the defect of beings conditioned by a body—that the true course (way) of the glorious Lord is not perceived by them; and O Lord, there is nothing other than Thyself (fit to be known); still anything else that (might seem to be) is not pure (the perfect Being); and it is but Thou that shinest as many in association with the gunas of Maya.  
> — S. Subba Rau 1928, The Srimad Bhagavatam
