Vanquishing The Dirt of Material Life
One may cleanse himself daily by taking a bath in water, but if one takes a bath even once in the sacred Ganges water of Bhagavad-gita, for him the dirt of material life is altogether vanquished.
Cultivation of Spirituality
Bhakti is a sort of cultivation. As soon as we say “cultivation”, we must refer to activity. Cultivation of spirituality does not mean sitting down idly for meditation, as some pseudo-yogis teach. Such idle meditation may be good for those who have no information of devotional service and for this reason it is sometimes recommended as a way to check distracting materialistic activities.
Supreme Occupation
The supreme occupation (Dharma) for all humanity is that by which men can attain loving devotional service unto the transcendent Lord. Such devotional service must be unmotivated and uninterrupted in order to completely satisfy the self.
Strictly Following in The Footsteps of Great Souls
Long life, obedience, good reputation, righteousness, prospects of being promoted to higher planets and blessings of great personalities are all vanquished simply by disobedience to a great soul. One should strictly try to follow in the footsteps of great souls.
