Srimad Bhagavatam should be heard by the bonafide representative in the Disciplic line.
One who is sufficiently intelligent should use the human form of body from the very beginning of life, in other words, From the tender age of childhood, to practice the activities of devotional service, giving up all other engagement. The human body is most rarely achieved and although temporary like other bodies, it is meaningful because in human life one can perform devotional service. Even a slight amount of sincere devotional service can give one complete perfection. — Srimad Bhagavatam, 07.06.01
This material world is actually meant for misery, just as a prison house is meant for punishment.
In the Bhagavat culture worship of the spiritual master plays a very important role in our life.
If you love Krishna in any capacity, you shall never be frustrated because everything in Krishna is perfect, eternal, blissful and full of Knowledge.
