[Canto 2, Ch. 1]
omkāra . Here it is indicated that the Viṣṇu form is the ultimate goal of meditation, and as such it is better to concentrate upon the forms of Viṣṇu than on impersonal  omkāra , as the latter process is more difficult than the former.
TEXT 20
रजस्तमोम्यामाक्षिप्तं विमूढं मन आत्मनः । यच्छेद्वारणया धीरो हन्ति या तत्कृतं मलम् ॥२०॥
rajas-tamobhyām ākṣiptam vimūḍham mana ātmanaḥ yacched dhāraṇayā dhīro hanti yā tat-kṛtam malam
rajaḥ —passionate modes of nature;  tamobhyām —as well as by the ignorant modes of material nature;  ākṣiptam —agitated;  vimūḍham —bewildered;  manaḥ —the mind;  ātmanaḥ —of one’s own;  yacchet —get it rectified;  dhāraṇayā —by conception (of Viṣṇu);  dhīraḥ —the pacified;  hanti —destroys;  yā —all those;  tat-kṛtam —done by them;  malam —dirty things.
TRANSLATION
One’s mind is always agitated by the passionate modes of material nature and bewildered by the ignorant modes of nature. But one can rectify such conceptions by the relation of Viṣṇu and thus become pacified by cleansing the dirty things created by them.
PURPORT
Persons generally conducted by the modes of passion and the modes of ignorance cannot be bona fide candidates for being situated in the transcendental stage of God realization. Only the persons conducted under the modes of goodness can have the knowledge of the Supreme Truth. Effects of the modes of passion and ignorance are manifested by too much hankering after wealth and women. And those who are too much after wealth and women can only rectify their leanings by constant remembrance of Viṣṇu in His potential impersonal feature. Generally the impersonalists or monists are influenced by the modes of passion and ignorance.
