Verse Text
tatra ālambanāḥ –
caturbhujaś ca śāntāś ca asminn ālambanā matāḥ ||7||
Translation
According to the wise, the four-armed form of the Lord (viṣaya) and the śānta-bhaktas (āśraya) are the ālambanas.
Purport (Nectar of Devotion)
For those great sages situated in the position of transcendental neutrality, the beginning should be to take shelter of Lord Viṣṇu, the four-handed eternal form of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. The mystic yogīs are therefore advised to meditate on the form of Lord Viṣṇu, as recommended by Kapila Muni in the sāṅkhya yoga system. Unfortunately, many mystic yogīs try to meditate on something void, and as stated in the Gītā, the result is that they simply undergo trouble and do not achieve any tangible result.
