[Canto 2, Ch. 2]
one must concentrate on;  cintāmayam —transcendental;  enam —this particular;  īśvaram —the Supreme Lord;  yāvat —as long as;  manaḥ —the mind;  dhāraṇayā —by meditation;  avatiṣṭhate —can be fixed on.
TRANSLATION
The Lord's magnanimous pastimes and the glowing glancing of His smiling face are all indications of His extensive benedictions. One must therefore concentrate on this transcendental form of the Lord, as long as the mind can be fixed on Him by meditation.
PURPORT
In the  Bhagavad-gītā  (Bg. 12.5) it is said that the impersonalist undergoes a series of difficult programs on account of his impersonal meditation. But the devotee, due to the Lord's personal service, gets through very easily. Impersonal meditation is therefore a source of suffering for the impersonalist. Here, the devotee has an advantage over the impersonalist philosopher. The impersonalist is doubtful about the personal feature of the Lord, and therefore he always tries to meditate upon something which is not objective. For this reason there is an authentic statement in the  Bhāgavatam  regarding the positive concentration of the mind on the factual form of the Lord.
The process of meditation recommended herein is  bhakti-yoga , or the process of devotional service after being liberated from the material conditions.  Jñāna-yoga  is the process of liberation from the material conditions. After one is liberated from the conditions of material existence, i.e., when one is  nivṛtta , as previously stated herein, or when one is freed from all material necessities, one becomes qualified to discharge the process of  bhakti-yoga . Therefore  bhakti-yoga  includes  jñāna-yoga , or, in other words, the process of pure devotional service simultaneously serves the purpose of  jñāna-yoga ; liberation from material conditions is automatically achieved by the gradual development of pure devotional service. These effects of  bhakti-yoga  are called  anartha-nivṛtti . Things which are artificially acquired gradually disappear along with the progress of  bhakti-yoga . Meditation on the lotus feet of the Personality of Godhead, the first processional step, must show its effect by  anartha-nivṛtti . The grossest type of  anartha  which binds the conditioned soul in the material existence is sex desire, and this sex desire gradually develops in the union of the male and
