curtain, the meeting is dissolved. It cannot continue without him!
        While he is present, he may appear helpless, but if he gets up
        and leaves, the meeting is closed. After that, any resolutions
        passed are not valid. Why? Because the President’s signature is not
        there. Full stop.
          Likewise, when Narayana leaves, you are zero! When Narayana
        is present, you can do anything. He will not interfere; whether
        you choose to blast your life or make it, it is perfectly alright.
          In every verse, it is emphasized that without knowledge
        of Bhagavan’s nature, His relationship with the world, your
        belief cannot evolve into faith. Without faith, no progress is ever
        possible. Otherwise, you might expect Narayana to be your
        personal assistant and order Him around! He has never fed
        anybody. You must get the food, cook and eat it yourself. However,
        the ability to gather, cook, eat, and digest is all because of
        Him –  mayädhyakñeëa.   This is the essence of the ‘relationless
                             2
        relationship’.
        His Unforsaking Presence

             avajänanti mäà müòhä mänuñéà tanum-äçritam,
             paraà bhävam-ajänanto mama bhüta-maheçvaram. 3

        When I descend in My personal form, deluded persons are unable
        to recognize Me. They do not know the divinity of My personality,
        as the Supreme Lord of all beings.
          The  Lord  condemns  people  who  do  not  recognize  Him  as
        müòhäù.  This  word  signifies not  just  an  ordinary  fool  but  a  most
        terrible fool because He is so near them; without Him, they can’t
        even claim that there is no God! These fools think that God is
        somewhere above the clouds or in Kailash.
          You have exiled Him far away so you can continue your
        crimes. You undertake pilgrimages to Badrinath, to Mecca or
        Madina, not recognizing that He is so near! Mänuñéà tanum-äçritam
