			There is an intimate relationship between the swan and the lotus stem. So the comparison is very appropriate: without becoming a swan, or ''paramahaṁsa'', one cannot enter into the network of the lotus feet of the Lord.

The pure devotee never tries to see the Lord by mental speculation, but by following in the footsteps of the ''ācāryas'' (''mahājano yena gataḥ sa panthāḥ'' ([[CC Madhya 17.186]])).

The mystic yogīs, after a strenuous effort to control the senses, may be situated in a trance of yoga just to have a vision of the Supersoul within everyone, but the pure devotee, simply by remembering the Lord's lotus feet at every second, at once becomes established in real trance because by such realization his mind and intelligence are completely cleansed of the diseases of material enjoyment.

"My Lord Kṛṣṇa, I pray that the swan of my mind may immediately sink down to the stems of the lotus feet of Your Lordship and be locked in their network; otherwise at the time of my final breath, when my throat is choked up with cough, how will it be possible to think of You?"
