ब्रह्मोवाच । पूजाजपेशगुणरूपविलासनाम्नां युक्तिप्रियेण मनसा परिशोधनं यत् । तत्संततं मननमीश्वरदृष्टिलभ्यं सर्वेषु साधनवरेष्वपि मुख्यमुख्यम् २ ।

sanskrit

Brahmā said: The mind is fond of reasoning deliberation. The ability of the mind to ponder and evaluate the corresponding efficacy of the worship, Japa, the attributes of Īśa, His form, His divine sports and multifarious names, is the result of the benignant glance of Īśvara. Hence this steady continuance in the act of deliberation is the most important of all the means.
