228 Sri Caitanya-caritamrta

of the Supreme Godhead one is attracted to the Lord, he can execute devotional
service, and the form of the Lord will be impressed in his heart and remain tran-
scendentally situated there. Unless a devotee actually develops transcendental love
for the Lord, it is not possible for him to think always of the Lord within his heart.
Such constant thought of the Lord is the sublime perfection of the yogic process, as
Bhagavad-gitd confirms in the Sixth Chapter, stating that anyone absorbed in such
thought is the best of all yogis. Such transcendental absorption is known as samadhi.
A pure devotee who is always thinking of the Supreme Personality of Godhead is
the person qualified to see the Lord.

One cannot speak of Urugaya (the Lord, who is glorified by sublime prayers)
unless one is transcendentally elevated. The Lord has innumerable forms, as the
Brahma-sarhhita confirms (advaitam acyutam anddim ananta-riipam). The Lord
expands Himself in innumerable svarmmsa forms. When a devotee, hearing about these
innumerable forms, becomes attached to one and always thinks of Him, the Lord
appears to him in that form. Lord Krsna is especially pleasing to devotees for whom
He is always present in the heart because of their highly elevated transcendental
love.
