Shakyah evam vidhah drudhtum drushtvan assi mam yatha II sloka 53
न अहम् वेदैः न तपसा न दानेन न च इन्ज्यया I
शक्यः एवं विधः दृष्टुं दृष्टवान अस्सी मां यथ I I श्लोक 53
शक्यः एवं विधः दृष्टुं दृष्टवान अस्सी मां यथ I I श्लोक 53
Neither by the vedas, nor by austerity, nor by gift nor by sacrifice can I be seen in this form as you have seen me.
The Lord has repeatedly made it plain that these meritorious acts are at best conducive to the purification of the mind. These are no more useful for the attainment of the Lord than a diligent search is for a gold coin, on which the concerned man happens to be standing!!
Which then is the direct and sure path?
