1. The value of sadhu-darshan

    sadhunam sama-cittanam
    sutaram mat-krtatmanam
    darsanan no bhaved bandhah
    pumso 'ksnoh savitur yatha

    When one is face to face with the sun, there is no longer darkness for one's eyes. Similarly, when one is face to face with a sadhu, a devotee, who is fully determined and surrendered to the Supreme Personality of Godhead, one will no longer be subject to material bondage.

    (Srila Prabhupada's rendering of SB 10.10.41)
