simply by seeing You.
O Supersoul of all living entities, O Personality of Godhead, simply by seeing You I have now been freed from all lusty desires, which are the root cause of insurmountable illusion and bondage in the material world.

Translation
O soul of all living entities! O Lord! Simply by seeing you, the strong ropes of illusion, which are the shelter of lust, actions and the senses, have been cut.
Āśayaḥ means shelter.

Personal Guidance
Aṁśumān reports that simply seeing the Lord has freed him from lusty desires. Real darśana — even momentary — has cleansing power that no amount of self-management can replicate.
Reflection Questions
- How am I cultivating actual darśana — of Deity, image, or remembered form — and not just talking about it?
- What stubborn desire of mine has not yet been brought into the Lord's presence?
