Naturally, if you practice to come here and see daily, at least once, you'll be able to think of Kṛṣṇa. Mad-gatenāntar-ātmanā. If you continue that thinking, Kṛṣṇa, how He's standing, how He is playing on flute, how Rādhārāṇī is there, here—man-manāḥ—in this way, if you think, then you become the greatest yogī.

Prabhupāda: Ah. Aśnāmi bhakty-upahṛtam. Because one is giving out of devotion, love—aśnāmi, "I eat." If Bhagavān eats from your hand, then you become perfect. That is wanted, bhakti. Bhaktyā. Tad aham aśnāmi bhakty-upahṛtam. If you bring . . . That attachment should be increased. Mayy āsakta-manāḥ pārtha yogaṁ yuñjan . . . ([[Vanisource:BG 7.1 (1972)|BG 7.1]]). This is the yoga. This is real yoga, how to become attached to the service of the Lord. That is first-class yogī. You'll find in the last paragraph of Sixth Chapter, yoginām api sarveṣām. There are many yogīs, different kinds of yogīs. So yoginām api . . . Karma-yogī, jñāna-yogī, dhyāna-yogī, haṭha-yogī and so many yogīs. So yoginām api sarveṣām: "Of all the yogīs," yoginām api sarveṣāṁ mad-gatenāntar-ātmanā ([[Vanisource:BG 6.47 (1972)|BG 6.47]]), "one who is always thinking of Kṛṣṇa . . ." Naturally, if you practice to come here and see daily, at least once, you'll be able to think of Kṛṣṇa. Mad-gatenāntar-ātmanā. If you continue that thinking, Kṛṣṇa, how He's standing, how He is playing on flute, how Rādhārāṇī is there, here—man-manāḥ—in this way, if you think, then you become the greatest yogī.

That is wanted.

So the temple is the facility how to become the first-class yogī and how to become the first-class devotee simply by increasing your attachment. This attachment . . . There is one example that one brāhmaṇa, he was daily seeing Lord Rāmacandra and then he was breaking his fast. So Rāmacandra was out of His station for some royal business. So this brāhmaṇa did not take even water seven days. So when Rāmacandra returned, Lakṣmaṇa informed Lord Rāmacandra, "Here is Your devotee, My Lord. Because You were absent for seven days and he could not see You, therefore he did not take even water." Rāmacandra appreciated his devotion. So before Lord Rāmacandra there was Sītā-Rāma Deity worshiped in the family of Daśaratha Mahārāja's family. So that Deity was kept in the room of Lord Rāmacandra because Lord Rāmacandra was personally present. So He advised Lakṣmaṇa that "Give this brāhmaṇa this Deity." And He advised him, "Brāhmaṇa, you worship this Deity, and when I am not in the station, your worshiping the Deity is as good as worshiping Me." So the Deity worship is so long going on. That Rāmacandra Deity is still here in South India.
