nirguṇe brahmaṇi mayi
dhārayan viśadaṁ manaḥ
paramānandam āpnoti
yatra kāmo ’vasīyate
dhārayan viśadaṁ manaḥ
paramānandam āpnoti
yatra kāmo ’vasīyate
Word for word:
Translation:
One who fixes his pure mind on Me in My manifestation as the impersonal Brahman obtains the greatest happiness, wherein all his desires are completely fulfilled.
Purport:
Paramānanda, or “the greatest happiness,” here indicates the greatest material happiness, since it is clearly stated in Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam that a devotee has no personal desire, or kāma. One who has personal desire is certainly within the material world, and on the material platform the greatest happiness is kāmāvasāyitā-siddhi, or the perfection of completely obtaining anything that one desires.
