[Question by Dr. Sheshadri Thiruvenkadam (Balaji).]
Swami rerplied: Visions are miracles done by God to rectify defective students. Visions are not necessary for souls of perfect spiritual level. Krishna never showed the cosmic vision (Vishwarupam) to the Gopikas, who were the perfect sages. He showed this vision to Sage Udanka, who was rectified permanently. Again He showed this vision to Arjuna, who was rectified temporarily, upto the 18th day of war. On that last day, Arjuna refused to get down from the chariot for the sake of his own prestige before the soldiers, even though Krishna ordered him to do so. Again Krishna showed the same vision to the Kauravas, who did not change at all. Jesus said that the devotees, who believe without proof are really blessed. Hence, miracles like visions are not important at all in the case of real devotees.
