the greatest meditator and the greatest yogī.” Lord
Krishna confirms this statement at the end of the
sixth chapter of Bhagavad-gita. He says, “And of all
yogīs, the one with great faith who always abides
in Me, thinks of Me within himself, and renders
transcendental loving service to Me — he is the most
intimately united with Me in yoga and is the highest
of all. That is My opinion.” (Bg 6.47)

Personality of Godhead. Every living entity is meant
to serve the Supreme Lord according to his capacity.
Failing to do so will be the cause of the living entities’
fall down from spiritual life to materialistic endeavors
for selfish aggrandizement.

used his superior mystic powers to transform himself
