ध्यानाभ्यासवशीकृतेन मनसा तन्निर्गुणं निष्क्रियं
    ज्योतिः किंछन योगिनो यदि परं पश्यन्ति पश्यन्तु ते ।
अस्माकं तु तदेव लोचनचमत्काराय भूयाच्चिरं
    कालिंदीपुलिनोदरे किमपि यन्नीलं महो धावति ॥

- मधुसूदनसरस्वती

asmAkam tu tadeva lochana chamatkArAya bhUyAt chiram
    kAlindI pulinaH udare kimapi yannIlam maho dhAvati ॥

- madhusUdana sarasvatI

Let the saints see God in the form of a formless, quality-less, activity-less entity or a light. This may be possible since they have mastered the process of meditation. Let them have their ways. But for us, let God be always seen as that blue boy running and playing on the sands of Yamuna (Sri Krishna).

We will not respect any scholar who finds satisfaction in praising a king who rules one small corner of this huge world. We will serve only that Lord Krishna who gave wealth equal to that of Kubera (God of wealth) to Kuchela in return for handful of parched rice.

All the wealth accumulated to mitigate hunger by working for a king all life long is of no use. The only wealth that is permanent and worthwhile is the memory of Sri Krishna who protected Arjuna, who lifted Goverdhana mountain, who can make all troubles go away, who will satiate the hunger of knowledge of all wise men.

He who has the name of ‘Hari’ at the tip of his toungue at all times is as holy as the Ganga, the Gaya, the Sethu (Rama sethu), the Kashi, the Pushkar.
