mām ca yo 'vyabhicāreṇa bhakti-yogena sevate sa guṇān samatītyaitān brahma-bhūyāya kalpate  (Bg. 14.26)
So the science of  bhakti-yoga , of worshiping the Lord, glorifying the Lord, hearing the  Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam  from the right sources (not from the professional man but from a person who is  Bhāgavatam  in life) and being always in the association of pure devotees, should be adopted in earnestness without being misled by misconceptions of “I” and “mine.” The  karmīs  are fond of the conception of “mine,” and the  jñānīs  are fond of the conception of “I,” and both of them are unqualified to be free from the bondage of the illusory energy.  Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam , and primarily the  Bhagavad-gītā , are both meant for delivering a person from the misconception of “I” and “mine,” and  Śrīla Vyāsadeva  transcribed them for the deliverance of the fallen souls. The living entity has to be situated in the transcendental position where there is no more influence of time nor of the material energy. In conditioned life the living entity is subjected to the influence of time in the dream of past, present and future. The mental speculator tries to conquer the influence of time by future speculation of becoming  Vāsudeva  or the Supreme Lord himself by means of culture of knowledge and conquering over ego. But the process is not perfect. The perfect process is to accept Lord  Vāsudeva  as the Supreme in everything, and the best perfection of culturing knowledge is to surrender unto Him because He is the source of everything. In that conception only can one get rid of the misconception of I and mine. Both  Bhagavad-gītā  and the  Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam  confirm it.  Śrīla Vyāsadeva  has specifically contributed to the illusioned living entities the science of God and the process of  bhakti-yoga  in his great literature  Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam , and the conditioned soul should fully take advantage of this great science.
