Commentary: Sārārtha-Varṣiṇī Ṭīkā

(By Śrīla Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura; the innermost intention of the commentary named ‘the shower of essential meanings’)

In this verse beginning with the words yo mām, Śrī Bhagavān is explaining the result of the yogī’s direct experience. “For him, I, brahma, am never out of sight, because for such a yogī, direct experience of Me becomes eternal. The yogī who worships Me never falls down.”

Commentary: Sārārtha-Varṣiṇī Prakāśikā-vṛtti

(By Śrīla Bhaktivedānta Nārāyaṇa Gosvāmī Mahārāja; the explanation that illuminates the commentary named Sārārtha-varṣiṇī)

Śrī Bhagavān is never out of sight for sādhakas who have direct experience of Him, and such sādhakas are also never out of His vision. Due to their constant connection with each other, the worshipper never falls.

Śrīla Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura quotes Kṛṣṇa as saying, “I indeed belong to those who see Me everywhere and who see all entities in Me. When My devotee surpasses the stage of śānta-rati (neutral attachment), a special type of loving relationship arises between us, in which we both feel‚ ‘I am his and he is Mine.’ After this relationship has developed, I never bestow upon him the complete destruction of dry impersonal liberation. He can no longer become lost because he has become My servant and has attained the eternal function of his self.”
