Text

YogÄ«s may undergo severe austerities and penances for many births by practicing yama, niyama, Äsana and prÄṇÄyÄma, none of which are easily performed. Yet in due course of time, when these yogÄ«s attain the perfection of controlling the mind, they will still be unable to taste even a particle of dust from the lotus feet of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. What then can we describe about the great fortune of the inhabitants of VrajabhÅ«mi, Vá¹›ndÄvana, with whom the Supreme Personality of Godhead personally lived and who saw the Lord face to face?

Purport

We can simply imagine the great fortune of the inhabitants of Vá¹›ndÄvana. It is impossible to describe how, after many, many births of pious activities, they have become so fortunate.
