Who can be called an Ekantik disciple of Lord Vasudev? Someone who is unfalteringly devoted to Lord Vasudev, and has virtues such as adherence to his own religious decree (swa-dharma), spiritual knowledge (gnan), asceticism (vairagya) and an appreciation of his greatness (mahatmya) can be called an Ekantik disciple. Regarding his ultimate attainment, it is said that he enters Lord Vasudev. What is meant by that entering? Amidst a mass of lustre presides the divine Murti of Lord Vasudev, for whom that disciple has affection. Due to that affection, his mind constantly remains attentive to the Murti of Lord Vasudev; he remains infatuated by the Murti. Whilst remaining in this state, he physically remains attentive to serving Lord Vasudev. This is like Laxmiji who, due to her profound affection, remains within the heart of Lord Vasudev as if she were an intrinsic part of him. Externally, she also remains in the form of a woman in order to serve him. It should be understood that the Ekantik disciples of Lord Vasudev enter him in the same way.
