TRANSLATION

With devotion steeped in love and affection, the yogi should meditate
within the core of his heart upon the laughter of Lord Visnu. The
laughter of Visnu is so captivating that it can be easily meditated
upon. When the Supreme Lord is laughing one can see His small teeth,
which resemble jasmine buds rendered rosy by the splendor of His lips.
Once devoting his mind to this, the yogi should no longer desire to see
anything else.

PURPORT

It is recommended that the yogi visualize the laughter of the Lord
after studying His smile very carefully. These particular descriptions of
meditation on the smile, laughter, face, lips and teeth all indicate con-
clusively that God is not impersonal. It is described herein that one should
meditate on the laughter or smiling of Visnu. There is no other activity that
can completely cleanse the heart of the devotee. The exceptional beauty
of the laughter of Lord Visnu is that when He smiles His small teeth,
which resemble the buds of jasmine flowers, at once become reddish,
reflecting His rosy lips. If the yogi is able to place the beautiful face of the
Lord in the core of his heart, then he will be completely satisfied. In other
words, when one is absorbed in seeing the beauty of the Lord within
himself, the material attraction can no longer disturb him.
