Water is very clean. When it rains from the clouds it is very clean, but as soon as it drops on the ground it becomes muddy. So that muddiness has to be cleansed then water will come out again clean. Similarly, our consciousness is clean, but because it is contaminated with the muddy things of the material nature, it is cloudy.

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.
Hearing and chanting is the key to fix the mind on Krishna. When we are chanting, we need to just hear the sound vibration.
O son of Kunti, the nonpermanent appearance of happiness and distress, and their disappearance in due course, are like the appearance and disappearance of winter and summer seasons. They arise from sense perception, O scion of Bharata, and one must learn to tolerate them without being disturbed.
