The Payo-vrata Process of Worship
227
worshiping Lord Vāsudeva, who is situated in everyone's heart. He is the friend of everyone and is known as Janārdana because He can kill all enemies. There are three modes of material nature—goodness, passion and ignorance—and above material nature, transcendental to material nature, is another existence, which is called  śuddha-sattva . In the material world, the mode of goodness is considered the best, but because of material contamination, even the mode of goodness is sometimes overpowered by the modes of passion and ignorance. But when one transcends the competition between these modes and engages himself in devotional service, he rises above the three modes of material nature. In that transcendental position, one is situated in pure consciousness.  Sattvam viśuddham vasudeva-śabditam  ( Bhāg.  4.3.23). Above material nature is the position called  vasudeva , or freedom from material contamination. Only in that position can one perceive the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Vāsudeva. Thus the  vasudeva  condition fulfills a spiritual necessity.  Vāsudevaḥ sarvam iti sa mahātmā sudurlabhaḥ . When one realizes Vāsudeva, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, he becomes most exalted.
Paramātmā (Vāsudeva) is situated in everyone's heart, as confirmed in  Bhagavad-gītā . The Lord says:
teṣām satata-yuktānām bhajatām prīti-pūrvakam dadāmi buddhi-yogam tam yena mām upayānti te
“To those who are constantly devoted and who worship Me with love, I give the understanding by which they can come to Me.” (Bg. 10.10)
īśvaraḥ sarva-bhūtānām hṛd-deśe 'rjuna tiṣṭhati
“The Supreme Lord is situated in everyone's heart, O Arjuna.” (Bg. 18.61)
