Purport

Śrīla Prabhupāda comments: “Meditation, as recommended in authorized scripture, is meant for concentrating one’s mind on the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Viṣṇu. Lord Kṛṣṇa is Himself the original Viṣṇu, but because He played the part of a human being, He taught us definitely by His personal behavior what is meant by meditation.”

This activity of meditation indicates the brāhma-muhūrta, the early morning hours before sunrise.
