The Lord teaches us how to meditate by focusing our thoughts on his Divine Person.

By practicing the mastery of the breath one can eliminate the taint of one's physiological condition, and by concentrating the mind, freeing oneself from any sinful act. Through the discipline of the senses, one can escape contact with matter, and through meditation on God, the Sovereign Person, one can free oneself from the hold of the three attributes or modes of influence of material nature (virtue, passion, ignorance), source of material attachment. When the mind is thus purified by this practice of yoga, then one must bring the concentration to the tip of the nose, the eyes half-closed, and contemplate the form of the Sovereign Lord.

The Sovereign Lord shows a smiling, lotus-like face, with reddish eyes like the interior of a lotus, and a dark complexion like the petals of the blue lotus. In three of his hands, he carries a conch, a disc and a mace. A silky material, the dazzling yellow of the lotus filaments, encircles her loins. On his chest, He wears the Srivatsa, a tuft of white hairs, and the jewel Kaustubha, resplendent, hangs around his neck. He also wears a garland of pretty wild flowers around his neck, around which buzzes a swarm of bees intoxicated by its sweet scent. The parent also has a stunning pearl necklace, crown, and pairs of armbands, bracelets, and ankle rings. A belt surrounds his loins and hips, and He stands on the lotus of the heart of his devotee. His appearance is most charming, and his serene demeanor rejoices the eyes and souls of the holy beings who behold him.

The Lord enjoys eternally unspeakable beauty, and He is worthy of the worship of the inhabitants of all the planets. His youth is eternal, and He is always eager to pour out His blessings on His devotees. The glories of the Lord are always worth singing, for they enhance those of his devotees. We must therefore meditate on the Sovereign Lord as well as on his devotees; one will have to meditate on its eternal form until the mind becomes stable. Thus constantly absorbed in devotional service, the spiritualist sees the Lord standing, lying, sitting in front of him or moving, for his Entertainments always prove to be wonderful and attractive.

When fixing his mind on the eternal form of the Lord, the spiritualist should not embrace his whole body with his gaze, but rather focus his mind on each of the distinct parts of his form.

L he being a saint must first concentrate his mind on the lotus-like feet of the Lord, marked with the signs of the lightning, the mahout's staff, the banner and the lotus
