Logos 349
The Lord teaches us how to meditate by focusing our thoughts on His Divine Person.
By the practice of the mastery of the breath one can eliminate the defilement of his physiological condition, and by the concentration of the mind, free oneself from any guilty act. By the discipline of the senses, one can escape from the contact of matter, and by meditation on God, the Sovereign Person, one can free oneself from the grip of the three attributes or modes of influences of material nature (virtue, passion , ignorance), source of material attachment. When the mind is thus purified by this yoga practice, it is then necessary to focus on the tip of the nose, with half-closed eyes, and to contemplate the form of the Sovereign Lord.
The Sovereign Lord shows a smiley, lotus-like face, with eyes with reddish shades like the inside of a lotus, as well as a dark complexion like the petals of the blue lotus. In three of his hands, He carries a conch shell, a disc and a mace. A silky fabric, bright yellow of the lotus filaments, girds her loins. on his chest, He wears the Srivatsa, a tuft of white hairs, and the Kaustubha jewel, resplendent, hangs from his neck. He also wears a garland of pretty deer flowers around his neck, around which buzzes a swarm of bees intoxicated by its sweet scent. The parent also has a superb pearl necklace, a 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. Its appearance is most charming, and its serene appearance delights the eyes and the soul of the holy beings who contemplate it.
The Lord eternally enjoys an 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 spread his blessings on his devotees. The glories of the Lord are always worth singing because 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 the service of devotion, the spiritualist sees the Lord standing, lying, sitting in front of him or moving, because his Entertainment always turns out to be wonderful and attractive.
When he fixes his mind on the eternal form of the Lord, the spiritualist should not look with his whole body, but rather focus his thoughts on each of the distinct parts of his form.
The holy being must first focus his mind on the lotus-like feet of the Lord, marked with the signs of lightning, the staff of the mahout, the banner and the lotus flower.
