the entire universe, grows the lotus stem which contains all the different planetary systems, and whose flower serves as the residence of Brahma, the first created being. Likewise, he should focus his attention on the nipples of the Lord, like a pair of lovely emeralds and tinted with opaline shades under the effect of the glow emanating from the necklaces of milky pearls which decorate his breast.
The spiritualist must then meditate on the breast of the Sovereign Lord, home of the goddess Maha-Laksmi; the breast of the Lord is the source of all transcendent bliss for the mind as well as total satisfaction for the eyes. He must then engrave in his mind the neck of the Lord, Him whom the whole universe adores; Her neck reveals the beauty of the Kaustubha jewel adorning her breast.
The spiritualist has yet to meditate on the four arms of the Lord, which represent the source of all the powers of the celestial beings which govern the various functions of the material nature. He must then focus on the sparkling ornaments of his arms, which were polished by the gyrating motion of Mount Mandara. He must also duly contemplate the Lord’s disk, the sudarsana-cakra, which counts a thousand rays and shines with dazzling brilliance, and its conch, like a swan in the palm of his lotus-like hand.
The spiritualist must meditate on the mass of the Lord, who is called Kaumodaki and who is very dear to Him. This mass crushes the demonic warriors, always belligerent, and it is stained with their blood. He should also meditate on the magnificent garland which hangs around the neck of the Lord, and which is constantly surrounded by soft humming bees. He is further to meditate on the pearl necklace of the Lord, which is considered to represent the pure souls constantly absorbed in his service.
The spiritualist is then to meditate on the expression of the Lord's lotus-like face, which shows its various forms in this world out of compassion for its anxious devotees. His nose is protruding, and his crystal clear cheeks are lit by the oscillation of his sparkling alligator-shaped earrings.
The spiritualist must then meditate on the radiant face of the Lord, framed by curls of hair and embellished by her lotus-like eyes and dancing eyebrows. A lotus surrounded by bees and a couple of fish frolicking in the wave would be ashamed of their grace before his own.
The spiritualist should contemplate with deep devotion the compassionate gazes which the eyes of the Lord frequently cast, for they relieve the three formidable forms of suffering [Those arising from the body and mind, those caused by other living entities, and those which originate in material nature; hurricanes, strong winds, heavy rains, extreme cold, etc., driven by the beings of the higher planets, who govern the various functions of material nature.], which overwhelm its devotees. These same looks, accompanied by loving smiles, abound in grace.
