“If such a longing is truly there, then let that sādhaka meet however many hardships in his sādhana, let however many kinds of disappointment befall him: if, never letting weariness or dejection come near, he keeps contemplating always, at all times, with a citta given to no other, then for such a one God does not remain apart but becomes one with him in svarūpa, and the anusandhāna ‘He is I, I am He’ (that is, the state of ‘Ahaṃ Brahmāsmi’) goes on constantly, unceasingly. This is what is also called ‘ananya bhāva’,” declared Lord Kṛṣṇa.
