Sastra-chaksus as Meditation

Meditation rightly defined is what Rupa Goswami called Krsna-bhakti-rasa-bhavita or what Srila Prabhupada called Krsna consciousness (See Prabhupada Lilamrta, chapter 18). In it purest form, being Krsna consciousness, means seeing Krsna everywhere. On the 22nd of December 1969, in Boston, Srila Prabhupada said this: Sastra-caksus: “You should see through sastra. Don’t try to see by these eyes.” These are, what is the value of this eye? They are conditioned in so many ways. You don’t believe the eyes. See through the sastra, through the spiritual master, through the sastra. Try to see through this. That is perfect seeing.”
