Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam
[ Canto 3, Ch. 15 ]
ointment of love sees constantly the eternal form of the Lord. The particular word used in this connection,  anātmanām , signifies those who have no control over the mind and senses and who therefore speculate and want to become one with the Lord. Such persons cannot have the pleasure of seeing the eternal form of the Lord. For the impersonalists and the so-called  yogīs , the Lord is always hidden by the curtain of  yoga-māyā .  Bhagavad-gītā  says that even when Lord Kṛṣṇa was seen by everyone while He was present on the surface of the earth, the impersonalist and the so-called  yogīs  could not see Him because they were devoid of devotional eyesight. The theory of the impersonalists and so-called  yogīs  is that the Supreme Lord assumes a particular form when He comes in touch with  māyā , although actually He has no form. This very conception of the impersonalists and so-called  yogīs  checks them from seeing the Supreme Personality of Godhead as He is. The Lord, therefore, is always beyond the sight of such nondevotees. The four sages felt so much obliged to the Lord that they offered their respectful obeisances unto Him again and again.
Thus end the Bhaktivedanta purports of the Third Canto, Fifteenth Chapter, of the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, entitled “Description of the Kingdom of God.”
