The spiritual aspirant represents the eyes and association with the great Sadhu represents the sun. If sunlight is present, vision is possible with the eyes. No matter what great merits one may have from previous births, without association they are lost. If one has the association and no merits from previous births, still good merits are cultivated. Therefore, current actions1 are powerful. Footnotes: 1. 1. Three types of actions: kriyamān – current actions; prārabdha – the fruits of past actions which form one’s current destiny; sanchit – stock of karma, for which the consequences/fruits have yet to be experienced.
