Favored by the Supreme

nayam atma pravacanena labhyo
na medhaya na bahudha srutena
yam evaisa vrnute tena labhyas
tasyaisa atma vivrnute tanum svam

[“This Supreme Self cannot be reached by argumentation, or by applying one’s independent brain power, or by studying many scriptures. Rather, he alone can achieve the Supreme Lord whom the Lord chooses to favor. To that person the Lord reveals His own true, personal form.” (Mundaka Upanisad 3.2.4 / Katha Upanisad 1.2.23)]
