Subjective Reality...
"Light does not create things, but shows them to us. Try to achieve the light, the knowledge which shows us everything. Who is the Shower, who is showing? Try to catch Him. That should be your consciousness. Your interest is not in what is being shown, but in the Shower Himself. Try to pierce through the subjective reality; enter the higher plane if possible.
There you will find He who is showing, who is giving birth to all these material experiences. The sun is giving birth to all this life, by sending his rays. So the Universal Source of Light, Who is helping the dependent subjects to see and to have experience of this world; try to connect with Him.
Try to pierce through to find the transcendental side, the other side, the higher side. There you will find that all is varenyam, venerable. That is a venerable world and everything there is puja, worshipable. Here the question of submission and devotion comes in. Not only light and knowledge are present there, but there you will find that a venerable plane is on the other side, which we should serve, we should worship, and we should respect.
Such a world is on the other side. varenyam bhargo means that it is all knowledge, with adoration, devotion, dedication, worship. That is the nature of that world. devasaya dhimahi: We should try to exert every aspect of our conscious self in the service of the Divine Personality. The root meaning of deva is "One who is very beautiful and full of pastimes."

Auspicious news to the heart...
"Our deepest position can help us to feel the truth in this line. No wave will have any clash. All the waves that will come to us they will bring us good news. Only if we fail to understand we are in such a plane of contest, but if you dive deep then the nirguna plane, satya, rajas, tamas, without waves that is clash.
In different planes. Gunda, gunda, and the ordinary politician, politician and the sadhu, sadhu contest in the three planes satya, raja, sadhu, sadhu... satya approximately, politician rajas. And the gundar, that is tamas. But if we dive deep, in the deepest plane we can take our stand then we shall see that everything is bringing good and auspicious news to the heart.
The harmony. Then all this fight will seem to be business mockery like play, mock fight. These fightings will appear to us as mock fight, not real fight. Because the interest for which the fighting is going on, that is baseless. And the suffering that is also temporary not intense, not any permanent value so the atma is not damaged by any external fighting.
All this will help us think that this is mock fight going on so we won't feel any disturbance ofr that. Kṛṣṇa is enjoying all these mock fights. And we also must partake, take share in His enjoyment. It will come in that light."
