Consider how much talent the Lord has given to
people. With that endowment, seek the four goals (purusharthas). Move forward
on the path to the Lord, adhering strictly to the demands of truth. That is the
purpose of the gift of talent. Only those gifted with eyesight can see things;
those bereft of sight do not have that fortune. So too, only those gifted with
truth, longing for the four goals and adherence to dharma, can see the Lord;
all others are blind. The Lord has also given people instruments for developing
their intellect and discrimination. If they use them well and try to realize
God within themselves, the Lord will add unto them fresh talent and new sources
of power, for He is full of grace toward the struggling. When people seek to
follow dharma, the truth will also reveal itself to them.
- Dharma Vahini, Ch 13.
