Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam
[Canto 4, Ch. 29]
satāṁ prasaṅgān mama vīrya-saṁvido bhavanti hṛt-karṇa-rasāyanāḥ kathāḥ taj-joṣaṇād āśv apavarga-vartmani śraddhā ratir bhaktir anukramiṣyati
“In the association of pure devotees, discussion of the pastimes and activities of the Supreme Personality of Godhead is very pleasing and satisfying to the ear and to the heart. By cultivating such knowledge one gradually becomes advanced on the path of liberation, and thereafter he is freed, and his attraction becomes fixed. Then real devotion and devotional service begin.” ( Bhāg.  3.25.25) In the association of pure devotees, one becomes attached to hearing and chanting the glories of the Lord. In this way one can cultivate Kṛṣṇa consciousness, and as soon as this cultivation is advanced, one can become faithful to the Lord, devoted to the Lord and attached to the Lord, and thus one can very quickly attain full Kṛṣṇa consciousness. The secret of success in the cultivation of Kṛṣṇa consciousness is hearing from the right person. A Kṛṣṇa conscious person is never disturbed by the bodily necessities—namely, eating, sleeping, mating and defending.
TEXT 41
एतैरुपद्रुतो नित्यं जीवलोकः स्वभावजैः । न करोति हरेर्नूनं कथामृतनिधौ रतिम् ॥४१॥
etair upadruto nityaṁ jīva-lokaḥ svabhāvajaiḥ na karoti harer nūnaṁ kathāmṛta-nidhau ratim
etaiḥ —by these;  upadrutaḥ —disturbed;  nityam —always;  jīva-lokaḥ —the conditioned soul in the material world;  sva-bhāva-jaiḥ —natural;  na karoti —does not do;  hareḥ —of the Supreme Personality of Godhead;  nūnam —certainly;  kathā —of the words;  amṛta —of nectar;  nidhau —in the ocean;  ratim —attachment.
TRANSLATION
Because the conditioned soul is always disturbed by the bodily necessities such as hunger and thirst, he has very little time to cultivate attachment to hearing the nectarean words of the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
