1210 Srimad-Bhagavatam [Canto 3, Ch. 28

TRANSLATION

The yogis should contemplate with full devotion upon the compassionate
glances frequently cast by the Lord’s eyes, for they soothe the most
fearful threefold agonies of His devotees. His glances, accompanied by
loving smiles, are full of abundant grace.

PURPORT

As long as one is in conditional life, in the material body, it is natural
that he will suffer from anxieties and agonies. One cannot avoid the
influence of material energy, even when one is on the transcendental
plane. Sometimes disturbances come, but the agonies and anxieties of the
devotees are at once mitigated when they think of the Supreme Personality
of Godhead in His beautiful form or the smiling face of the Lord. The
Lord bestows innumerable favors upon His devotee, and the greatest
manifestation of His grace is His smiling facc, which is full of compassion
for His pure devotees.
