A
- A devotee's vision must be perfect. He should ignore bodily distinctions and should see only the presence of the part and parcel of the Supreme Lord, and the Lord Himself in His plenary expansion as Supersoul. That is the vision of a pure devotee
- A devotee, on account of his eyes being smeared with the ointment of love of God, he sees Krsna twenty-four hours within his heart. That is the vision of the devotee
- A second-class devotee has the vision that some are envious of God, but this is not the vision of the best devotee
- According to the standard of the Gita, a learned man is he who sees on equal terms the learned brahmana, the dog, the cow, the elephant and the dog-eater. That is the vision of a true devotee. BG 1972 purports
I
- In Srimad-Bhagavatam (SB 11.2.45), the symptoms of a topmost devotee are described as follows: Everyone is in Krsna, and Krsna is also within everyone. Such a vision is possible only for a person who is very advanced in devotional service
- In the vision of higher devotees, Krsna actually lives everywhere, but because we are in a lower condition, we should know that for us Krsna lives in the temple
O
- On the top stage there is no such thing as demon and devotee. The top stage, the devotee sees, "Everyone is engaged in Krsna's service. Simply I am not engaged." This is topmost devotee's vision, that, I am lacking Krsna's devotion
- One cannot serve the Lord without being situated on the spiritual platform. Thus if a so-called material thing is dovetailed in the Lord's service, it is no longer to be considered material. The pure devotee, in his perfect vision, sees from all angles
- Others on the battlefield could not see this form (Krsna's universal form) because Krsna gave the vision only to Arjuna. Arjuna could see in the body of Krsna many thousands of universes. BG 1972 purports
S
- Sri-krsna-caitanya radha-krsna nahe anya: in the vision of a perfect devotee, Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu is a combination of Radha and Krsna. One who sees Lord Caitanya to be different from Krsna is under the illusory energy of the Lord
- Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura used to say, “There is no scarcity of anything within this world. The only scarcity is of Krsna consciousness.” That is the vision of all pure devotees
- Such descriptions (in Brahama-samhita) of the Lord's body are not imaginary; rather, they are the statements of those who have seen the Lord with their supernatural vision. This supernatural vision is bestowed upon devotees like Brahma
- Supernatural vision is bestowed upon devotees like Brahma and upon those who follow the footsteps of pure devotees like him
T
- The devotee thus surpasses the subtle objects of different senses like aroma by smelling, the palate by tasting, vision by seeing forms, touch by contacting, the vibrations of the ear by ethereal identification, and the sense organs by material activities
- The devotee who is highly elevated sees the relationship to Krsna in everything; he does not see anything as being independent of Krsna. That is his vision of oneness
- The devotees' vision, however, is different; their vision is smeared with love of God
- The equal vision of the devotee is that he works to get all living entities back home, back to Godhead
- The perfect vision of the yogi or devotee is that he sees the presence of the living entity everywhere
- The pure devotee is equipoised in his vision and sees himself to be uncontaminated by matter because of his transcendental intelligence
- The test of a perfect devotee is that he sees Govinda everywhere in this universe, even in every atomic particle (anda-ntara-stha-paramanu-cayantara-stham). This is the perfect vision of a devotee
- The universal form of Krsna is not very important; that will be clear in the verses (of BG 11). Yet because Arjuna wanted to see it, the Lord gives him the particular vision required to see that universal form. BG 1972 purports
- The vision of the devotees is not ordinary; it is purified by the process of devotional service
- This is the fact. He (Krsna) chastised, that - Your vision is so poor that you are looking after this body
- This is the vision of a devotee whose devotional service is in highest stage of bhava, or love of Godhead (He doesn't see difference between God's form and the statue in the temple) whereas a neophyte's worship in the temple is a matter of routine duty
- Those who are covered by Your (Visnu's) external energy cannot see You behind this manifestation, but theirs is not the vision of learned devotees - SB 10.2.28
- To become a brahmana means to become a first-class prisoner, that's all. Our point of view is not to become a first-class prisoner, but to get out of the prison: that is Vaisnava vision
- To see the universal form of Krsna, Arjuna is told not to change his mind but his vision. BG 1972 purports
- To single out the daridra-narayanas, or poor Narayana, and reject the dhani-narayana, or rich Narayana, is not the vision of a devotee. Rather, that is the imperfect vision of materialistic persons
W
- When one's love for the Supreme Personality of Godhead in devotional service is fully developed, one always sees the Lord, even without artificially meditating on His form. His vision is divine because he has no other engagement
- When the devotees aurally receive the activities of the SPG as enacted in Bhagavad-gita and Srimad-Bhagavatam, they immediately achieve a transcendental vision in which they are no longer interested in materialistic activities. Thus they achieve freedom
