Text 35] The Killing of the Demon Aghasura 297

chanting of hymns, and charity is found in the transcendental descrip-
tions of the qualities of the Lord, who is defined in choice poetry.”
(Bhag. 1.5.22) This is the perfection of life. One should be trained how
to glorify the Supreme Personality of Godhead by one’s respective
qualities. Education, austerity, penance or, in the modern world, busi-
ness, industry, education and so on—all should be engaged in glorifying
the Lord. Then everyone in the world will be happy.

Krsna comes, therefore, to exhibit His transcendental activities so that
people may have the chance to glorify Him in every respect. To under-
stand how to glorify the Lord is actual research work. It is not that every-
thing should be understood without God. That is condemned.

(Hari-bhakti-sudhodaya 3.11)

Without bhagavad-bhakti, without glorification of the Supreme Lord,
whatever we have is simply a decoration of the dead body.
