Rāmānanda quotes the prayer of the personified Vedas — and Gurudeva explains why: it is evidence. The supreme method of bhajana, the culmination of all their teaching, is to conform one's mood inwardly to the mood of the gopīs. The Vedas say it of themselves: we began to look at everything the way they look — and we obtained the very same thing. The key word is samadṛśa: not a change of body but a borrowed vision; what changes is not the form but what you see with. An open book on the table, a fresh flower between its pages: the book itself leans toward what it is written about.
