What We Should Be Doing
With our lips we should be chanting with our ears we should be hearing and with our heart we should be crying out for the Lord like a baby does for its mother.
Cause of Spiritual Death For Many Heares
Milk is very good and nourishing, but when it is touched by the mouth of a snake it is no longer nourinshing; rather, it becomes a source of death. Similarly those who are not strictly in the Vaisnava discipline should not make a business of Srimad Bhagavatam and become a cause of spiritual death for so many heares.
Becoming Free From All Sorts of Fear
Hearing about and glorifying the Lord are identical with the transcendental nature of the Lord and by so doing one will be always in the association of the Lord. This brings freedom from all sorts of fear.
Reading Bhagavad Gita Attentively
Because Bhagavad Gita is spoken by the Supreme Personality of Godhead, one need not read any other Vedic literature. One need only attentively and regularly hear and read Bhagavad Gita.
