Śrīmad Bhāgavatam
[Canto 2, Ch. 9]
factual position of Lord Kṛṣṇa, he addressed Lord Kṛṣṇa in the following words:
paraṁ brahma paraṁ dhāma pavitraṁ paramaṁ bhavān puruṣaṁ śāśvataṁ divyam ādi-devam ajaṁ vibhum āhus tvām ṛṣayaḥ sarve devarṣir nāradas tathā asito devalo vyāsaḥ svayaṁ caiva bravīṣi me  (Bg. 10.12-13)
Arjuna summarized the purpose of the  Bhagavad-gītā  by his realization of Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa and thus said, “My dear Personality of Godhead, You are the Supreme Absolute Truth, the Original Person in the eternal form of bliss and knowledge, and this is confirmed by Nārada, Asita, Devala and Vyāsadeva, and, above all, Your personal self has also confirmed it.”
When Vyāsadeva fixed his mind in meditation, he did it in  bhakti-yoga  trance and actually saw the Supreme Person with  māyā , the illusory energy, in contraposition. As we have discussed before, the Lord’s  māyā  or illusion is also a representation because  māyā  has no existence without the Lord. Darkness is not independent of light. Without light, no one can experience the contraposition of darkness. But this  māyā  or illusion cannot overcome the Supreme Personality of Godhead, but stands apart from Him ( apāśrayam ).
Therefore, perfection of meditation is to realize the Personality of Godhead along with His transcendental activities. Meditation on the impersonal Brahman is a troublesome business for the meditator, as is confirmed in the  Bhagavad-gītā :
kleśo 'dhikataras teṣām avyaktāsakta-cetasām  (Bg. 12.5)
