When the mind becomes completely pure and focused, a person experiences deep peace, understands their true self, and feels a real connection with the Divine. One who comes into contact with Vāsudeva on the turīya (Samadhi) platform also experiences similar transcendental feelings. Such qualities are inconceivable and inexpressible. One is flooded with a continual feeling of tranquillity and bliss. For such a person, the cycle of birth, death, old age and disease ceases and they realise their eternal constitutional position as a servant of the Lord. One of the meanings of the word ‘Vāsudeva’ is ‘He who manifests in the state of Vasudeva’ (The state of pure goodness). The plane of pure transcendental goodness (viśuddha–sattva) is known as Vasudeva because through this, the Supreme is revealed without any covering. (Śrīmad Bhāgavatam 4.3.23) This verse is describing a very deep spiritual experience. It says that when a person connects with Vasudeva (the Supreme Being) at the highest level of consciousness—called samadhi (deep spiritual absorption)—they begin to feel something completely beyond ordinary life. They experience: - deep peace - constant happiness - a sense of clarity and stillness This kind of happiness is not like normal pleasure, which comes and goes. It is steady and comes from within. At this stage, a person also understands something very important:they are not just the body or the mind—they are a soul. And their natural role is to be connected to and serve the Supreme. Because of this realization, they are no longer trapped in the usual cycle of life—birth, aging, sickness, and death—at least internally. They rise above it in awareness. The verse also explains the word “Vasudeva.”It can mean a state of pure clarity and goodness, where nothing blocks your perception. In that state, the presence of the Supreme becomes clear—like seeing the sun when the sky has no clouds. My painting in my website:

You may not know this, or you may not have ever thought of it. But there's a whole lot of people who, instead of using their time and energy for good, are using it to try and create fake accounts and get into communities and spam members. I turn down a few membership requests a week because they are clearly ai/bots. Not real people who want to learn how to own your space with calm confidence. One of the best suggestions I had in terms of it's a washing this behavior was to ask a math question we're one number was written as a digit and one as a word. And of course it's easy. I'm not asking someone to do a quadratic equation. But the point of the math problem is to protect you and to protect this beautiful Haven space we are co-creating. I know return you to your regularly scheduled research, recalibration, and capacity increasing activities.
