There are many kinds of yogīs. The topmost yogī is he who . . . yoginām api sarveṣāṁ mad-gata āntarātmanā. The yogīs, they try to find out by samādhi the Supreme Person within the heart. Dhyānāvasthita-tad-gatena manasā paśyanti yaṁ yoginaḥ (SB 12.13.1). Yogī's, yogī's business is dhyānāvasthita, in meditation, in full samādhi, he is seeing the Supreme Personality of Godhead.

What is the meaning of Rāma, Rāma-Kṛṣṇa? So Rāma means ramante, enjoys, rāma. So who enjoys? Yoginaḥ, big, big yogīs. Rāmante yoginaḥ. The greatest of all yogīs is the bhakta-yogī.

<div class="quote_verse">
:yoginām api sarveṣāṁ
:mad-gata āntarātmanā
:śraddhāvān bhajate yo māṁ
:sa me yuktatamo mataḥ

These are the Vedic versions, that highest yogī . . . there are many kinds of yogīs. The topmost yogī is he who . . . yoginām api sarveṣāṁ mad-gata āntarātmanā. The yogīs, they try to find out by samādhi the Supreme Person within the heart. Dhyānāvasthita-tad-gatena manasā paśyanti yaṁ yoginaḥ ([[Vanisource:SB 12.13.1|SB 12.13.1]]). Yogī's, yogī's business is dhyānāvasthita, in meditation, in full samādhi, he is seeing the Supreme Personality of Godhead, four-handed Nārāyaṇa. Viṣṇu-devānanda. Ānanda. They are taking pleasure by seeing Viṣṇu within the heart. Viṣṇu is within your heart. Īśvaraḥ sarva-bhūtānāṁ hṛd-deśe arjuna tiṣṭhati ([[Vanisource:BG 18.61 (1972)|BG 18.61]]). The Supreme Person in His Paramātmā feature, localized feature, He is existing in everyone's heart.

So yogī, the ultimate yogī, ultimate yoga process is to be situated in samādhi. Samādhi. Samādhi means forgetting everything external, simply concentrating on the form of Viṣṇu. Therefore this is said:

<div class="quote_verse">
:yaṁ brahmā varuṇendra-rudra-marutaḥ stunvanti divyaiḥ stavair
:vedaiḥ sāṅga-pada-kramopaniṣadair gāyanti yaṁ sāma-gāḥ
:dhyānāvasthita-tad-gatena manasa paśyanti yaṁ yoginaḥ 
:([[Vanisource:SB 12.13.1|SB 12.13.1]])
</div>

Dhyānāvasthita, in full samādhi, in meditation, the yogīs, they see the Supreme Personality of Godhead. This is the yogī. And out of all those yogīs, the Kṛṣṇa form . . . Kṛṣṇa has got many forms. Advaita acyuta anādi ananta-rūpam ādyaṁ purāṇa-puruṣaṁ nava-yauvanaṁ ca (Bs. 5.33). Ādyaṁ purāṇa-puruṣam. Kṛṣṇa has multiforms. He is the Yogeśvara.
