thank you question what is the conception of Krishna among the yogis who are doing yoga mishra bhakti as mentioned in the 8th chapter of the Gita answer when Krishna talks about how the yogis meditate on him so these are qualities of Krishna which talk about his greatness not about his sweetness so they are not talking about his intimate aspects they are talking about his opulent aspects and the yogis meditate on him in this way for them generally Krishna is the object of meditation but he is not usually the objective of meditation the object means something which we meditate on but objective means that is the ultimate goal so generally the yoga mishra bhaktas Vishwacharya explains that if their yoga mishra if the bhakti is more than 50% then he says it’s pradhani bhuta if it is less than 50% then it is guni bhuta and then depending on that ultimately this 50% is not it’s not precisely a mathematical analysis but it’s more of a disposition of the heart so whatever a soul desires that’s what the lord gives them so accordingly their destination will be determined so only when they have pure devotion they will attain the intimate association of the lord in his intimate pastimes like say but if they have they don’t they are not meditating on and they are not attracted to a perception of god where he is performing pastimes then the lord will not give him that attainment so in that sense the yoga mishra bhaktas who are described over here they are meditating on the absolute truth more as a more in his aspect of infinitude so it’s more of shantara’s meditation and they will get a destination accordingly but if they get the association of devotees and their conception of god becomes more intimate and personal then they can get a higher destination also
