After conquering the five indriyas and the sixth mind, controlling them; renouncing the body, brahmānd, and the panch-vishays - believing them to be material (without consciousness), cause of misery, insignificant, perishable, and excrement; knowing one’s jivātmā to be eternal, conscious, blissful, minute, and devoid of the qualities of māyā; behaving as the ātmā and in a contemplative state, one should meditate upon Shri Hari. Only one who forsakes the vanity of one’s status, caste, āshram, and virtues; and one who behaves as a servant of all the sadhus and satsangis can meditate upon Shri Hari. If one undertakes millions of other spiritual endeavors without completely understanding the greatness of Shri Hari, one will not be able to maintain the constant contemplation of [Mahārāj’s] murti in all of their activities. And if one gathers the happiness contained within infinite brahmānds, it will still not equal the bliss of a millionth of one pore of Shri Hari’s murti. And if a grave sinner worships Shri Hari, all of his sins will burn to ashes - that is the extremely divine greatness [of Mahārāj’s murti]. And the essence of Sānkhya, Yoga, Vedānt, and Panchrātra is the murti of Shri Hari. A clever person who has such a unwavering mind can meditate upon Shri Hari. And only God’s murti has complete virtues, happiness, and powers; elsewhere, there is only a slight. And if the happiness of infinite brahmānds was gathered, it will not equal a millionth fraction of the bliss gained from the meditation or darshan of Shri Hari done in a blink of an eye. The essence of all the sadhus, satsangis, Akshar, etc., is the murti of Shri Hari. One who understands this with a theistic mind can meditate upon Shri Hari. And one who is worthy of knowing through akshi-vidyā, dahar-vidyā, akshar-vidya, and other types of brahma-vidyā is the manifest Parabrahma Harikrishna, who is the sharir and the cause of Akshar, etc. One who understands this firmly can meditate upon Shri Hari. If there is a leather water vessel with 5 spouts and one spout is loosened, then all of the water will flow out. Similarly, if one loosens even one of the five indriyas or the sixth mind, then all of one’s meditation will shrink (will be nullified). Therefore, one can meditate if they are controlled; otherwise they cannot. And one should sit in the swastik posture with the gaze toward the tip of their nose, with a still body, eyes closed, moderation in appetite and travel, becoming pure, affectionate, passionate, joyful, swift, self-controlled, peaceful, and alert and meditate upon Shri Hari. And he understands Shri Hari’s form, swabhāv and virtues as always innocent, the best, eternal, inherently achieved, and always pure. Only Shri Hari alone - at all times (past, present, and future) - possesses a divine body, is the true form, the cause, inspirer, and controller of kāl, karma, māyā, and Purush. One who firmly understands this way can meditate upon Shri Hari.
