First, become a sadhu and then offer worship. There is no one like a true Sadhu, and even Maharaj pledges on the names of sadhus. So see! Ambrish behaved like a sadhu and so he had no misery. “Sādhavo dinvatsalāhā.”1 Therefore, there is no choice but to become one. And God’s work is done by the Sadhu, and then with (the darshan of) that Sadhu, darshan of God is attained. If such a (Sadhu) is attained, then what remains? If such a Sadhu is attained and deficiencies remain, then it is like facing famine despite rains – that is, God and such a Sadhu have been attained and (yet the jiva’s) deficiencies are not overcome. Footnotes: 1. 1. The Sadhu is the saviour of the meek.
