Pearls of Wisdom - 54


Sankhya System Process (As explained by Lord Kapila): (Continued..)

The devotee should next meditate on the lotus-like face of the Lord. His nose is prominent, and the glittering of His alligator shaped earrings illuminates His crystal-clear cheeks. The Lord's beautiful face is adorned with curly black hair, and decorated by lotus petal eyes and dancing eyebrows.

Thereafter, the devotee should meditate, with full devotion, upon the compassionate glances that the Lord frequently casts, for they soothe the most fearful miseries of material life. Those glances,which are accompanied by smiles of love, are full of abundant mercy. The yogi should meditate upon the benevolent smile of the Lord for it dries up the ocean of tears that is caused by intense grief. He should also meditate upon the Lord's arched eyebrows, because they charm kamadeva, for the welfare of the sages.
