Arrange the voices that speak to you

Dr. S. Sankaranarayan

O Mighty Yogin! How should I know you, meditating on you? In what various forms, O Bhagavat, should I contemplate you?

Shri Purohit Swami

O Master! How shall I, by constant meditation, know Thee? My Lord! What are Thy various manifestations through which I am to mediate on Thee?

Swami Adidevananda

How can I, Your devotee, know You by constantly meditating on You? And in what modes, O Lord, are you to be meditated upon by Me.

Swami Gambirananda

O Yogi, [Here yoga stands for the results of yoga, viz omniscience, omnipotence, etc.; one possessed of these is a yogi. (See Comm. on 10.7)] how shall I know You by remaining ever-engaged in meditation? And through what objects, O Lord, are You to be meditated on by me?

Swami Sivananda

How shall I, ever meditating, know Thee, O Yogin? In what aspects or things, O blessed Lord, art Thou to be thought of by me?
