A few select quotes and verses for meditation:
ON THE WAY TO DARSHAN
“I am so fortunate that I will be able to see those very lotus feet on this day, and certainly I shall be able to see the beautiful face of Krishna, which is marked on the forehead and the nose with tilaka. And I shall also see His smile and His curling black hair. I can be sure of this opportunity because I see that today the deer are passing on my right side. Today it will be possible for me to actually see the beauty of the spiritual kingdom of Visnuloka because Krishna is the Supreme Visnu and He has advented Himself out of His own good will. He is the reservoir of all beauty; therefore today my eyes will achieve perfection.”--KB 38
THE GOPIS DO NOT EVEN WANT TO BLINK
“The gopis saw their beloved Krishna at Kuruksetra after a long separation. They secured and embraced Him in their hearts through their eyes, and they attained a joy so intense that not even perfect yogis can attain it. The gopis cursed the creator for creating eyelids that interfered with their vision.”--aDI 4.153
DAILY SUSTENANCE
"The family of Mahārāja Nanda is just like an ocean of milk, wherein Lord Kṛṣṇa has arisen like the full moon to illuminate the entire universe. The eyes of the residents of Vraja are like cakora birds that continuously drink the nectar of His bodily luster and thus live peacefully." -CC Antya 19.36
THE GREATEST FESTIVAL
"When Lord Krishna passed over the public roads, all the ladies from the respectable families of Dvärakä went up to the roofs of their palaces just to have a look at the Lord. They considered this to be the greatest festival."--SB 1.124
AN EVER FRESH EXPERIENCE
"The inhabitants of Dvärakä were regularly accustomed to look upon the reservoir of all beauty, the infallible Lord, yet they were never satiated." sb 1.11.25
SRILA PRABHUPADA'S CHILDHOOD MEMORY
“I would watch for hours together; the deity was so beautiful. “ -Lilamrta Volume 1
BEGIN BY CONCENTRATING ON LORD’S LOTUS FEET UPWARDS
"The process of meditation recommended in the Srimad-Bhägavatam is not to fix one’s attention on something impersonal or void... There are authorized descriptions of Visnu forms, and there are authorized representations of Deities in the temples. Thus one can practice meditating upon the Deity, concentrating his mind on the lotus feet of the Lord and gradually rising higher and higher, up to His smiling face.
"According to the Bhägavata school, the Lord’s räsa dancing is the smiling face of the Lord. It is recommended...that one should gradually progress from the lotus feet up to the smiling face, we shall not jump at once to understand the Lord’s pastimes in the räsa dance. It is better to practice concentrating our attention by offering flowers and tulasi to the lotus feet of the Lord. In this way, we gradually become purified by the arcanä process...
"The more one concentrates on the transcendental form of the Lord, either on the lotus feet, the calves, the thighs or the chest, the more one becomes purified... The result of meditation on the transcendental form of the Lord will be manifested by one’s detachment from sense gratification. Therefore, the ultimate purpose of meditation is purification of one’s intelligence.--SB 2.2.14
HIS LOTUS FEET
"The devotee should first concentrate his mind on the Lord's lotus feet, which are adorned with the marks of a thunderbolt, a goad, a banner and a lotus. The splendor of their beautiful ruby nails resembles the orbit of the moon and dispels the thick gloom of one's heart. SB 3.28.21
"The Lord's feet act like thunderbolts hurled to shatter the mountain of sin stored in the mind of the meditating devotee. One should therefore meditate on the lotus feet of the Lord for a long time." -SB 3.28.21-22
“Your lotus feet destroy the past sins of all embodied souls who surrender to them. Those feet follow after the cows in the pastures and are the eternal abode of the goddess of fortune. Since You once put those feet on the hoods of the great serpent Kaliya, please place them upon our breasts and tear away the lust in our hearts. “ --SB 10.31.7
"O lotus-eyed one, the goddess of fortune considers it a festive occasion whenever she touches the soles of Your lotus feet." SB 10.29.36

Krsna is the ultimate goal of life for all people who fear material existence, and certainly when I see Him He will give me the shelter of His lotus feet. I am aspiring for the touch of His lotus-like hands on my head. When that hand touched the presentations of King Indra and King Bali, these two became qualified to be lords of the universe, and when that hand touched the gopis as they danced with Krishna in the räsa-lilä, it relieved all their fatigue.”"- KB38
“Lord Krsna became satisfied by the prayers and statements of Jambavan, and to mitigate the pains of his body, He began to smear the lotus palm of His hand all over the body of Jambavan. Jambavan at once felt relieved from the fatigue of the great fight.” KB56

She saw the planetary systems, water, light, air, sky, and creation by transformation of ahaìkära. She also saw the senses, the mind, sense perception, and the three qualities goodness, passion and ignorance. She saw the time allotted for the living entities, she saw natural instinct and the reactions of karma, and she saw desires and different varieties of bodies, moving and nonmoving. Seeing all these aspects of the cosmic manifestation, along with herself and Vrndävana-dhäma, she became doubtful and fearful of her son’s nature.” SB 10.8.37-39

Once devoting his mind to this, the yogi- should no longer desire to see anything else....

ATTRACTION FOR THE LORD

By following this course, the yogI gradually develops pure love for the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Hari. In the course of his progress in devotional service, the hairs on his body stand erect through excessive joy, and he is constantly bathed in a stream of tears occasioned by intense love. Gradually, even the mind, which he used as a means to attract the Lord, as one attracts a fish to a hook, withdraws from material activity." SB 3.28.34
ON THE WAY TO DARSHAN
“I am so fortunate that I will be able to see those very lotus feet on this day, and certainly I shall be able to see the beautiful face of Krishna, which is marked on the forehead and the nose with tilaka.
