Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam
[Canto 4, Ch. 22]
PURPORT
The  brāhmaṇas  and Vaiṣṇavas are the bearers of Lord Viṣṇu, the all-auspicious. As confirmed in the  Brahma-saṁhitā :
premāñjana-cchurita-bhakti-vilocanena santaḥ sadaiva hṛdayeṣu vilokayanti yaṁ śyāmasundaram acintya-guṇa-svarūpaṁ govindam ādi-puruṣaṁ tam ahaṁ bhajāmi.
The devotees, out of their extreme love for Govinda, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, always carry the Lord within their hearts. The Lord is already in the heart of everyone, but the Vaiṣṇavas and the  brāhmaṇas  actually perceive and see Him always in ecstasy. Therefore  brāhmaṇas  and Vaiṣṇavas are carriers of Viṣṇu. Wherever they go, Lord Viṣṇu, Lord Śiva or the devotees of Lord Viṣṇu are all carried. The four Kumāras are  brāhmaṇas , and they visited the place of Mahārāja Pṛthu. Naturally Lord Viṣṇu and His devotees were also present. Under the circumstances, the conclusion is that when the  brāhmaṇas  and Vaiṣṇavas are pleased with a person, Lord Viṣṇu is also pleased. This is confirmed by Śrīla Viśvanātha Cakravartī Thākura in his eight stanzas on the spiritual master:  yasya prasādād bhagavat-prasādaḥ.  By pleasing the spiritual master, who is both  brāhmaṇa  and Vaiṣṇava, one pleases the Supreme Personality of Godhead. If the Supreme Personality of Godhead is pleased, then one has nothing more to achieve either in this world or after death.
TEXT 9
नैव लक्षयते लोको लोकान् पर्यटतोऽपि यान् । यथा सर्वदृशं सर्वं आत्मानं येऽस्य हेतवः ॥ ९ ॥
naiva lakṣayate loko lokān paryaṭato 'pi yān yathā sarva-dṛśaṁ sarva ātmānaṁ ye 'sya hetavaḥ
na—not; eva—thus; lakṣayate—can see; lokaḥ—people; lokān—all planets; paryaṭataḥ—traveling; api—although; yān—whom; yathā—as much as; sarva-dṛśaṁ—the Supersoul; sarve—in all; ātmānaṁ—within everyone; ye—those; asya—of the cosmic manifestation; hetavaḥ—causes.
TRANSLATION
Pṛthu Mahārāja continued: Although you are traveling in all planetary systems, people cannot know you, just as they cannot know the Supersoul, although He is within everyone's heart as the witness of everything. Even Lord Brahmā and Lord Śiva cannot understand the Supersoul.
