Commentary: Dig-darśinī-ṭīkā with Bhāvānuvāda

(By Śrīla Sanātana Gosvāmī himself including a deep purport of that commentary)

Śrī Gopa-kumāra continues, “Sometimes during samādhi, the activities of my senses and mind became suspended and I experienced a void similar to that of deep sleep (suṣupti). This became an obstacle to my japa. When I would chant my mantra, I used to see the indescribably beautiful form of Bhagavān, but this sleep-like state obstructed that darśana.”
