Bhajane pratibandhaka vicara
Observing one’s perfect ekadasa-bhava, one should meditate on one’s bhava with sincere determination.

As one rigorously engages in one’s sadhana and smarana practice, one will reach the purest stage of apana-dasa.
By constantly meditating on one’s pure bhava, the worldly conceptions that bind one to Maya will soon go far away.
