126 Srimad-Bhagavatam [Canto 2, Ch. 2

light by which to see the real path. Srila Jiva Gosvami Prabhupada has
commented on the kathamrtam mentioned in this verse and has indicated
Srimad-Bhagavatam to be the nectarean message of the Personality of
Godhead. By sufficiently hearing the Srimad-Bhagavatam, the polluted
aim of life, namely lording it over matter, will subside, and the people in
general in all parts of the world will be able to live a peaceful life of
knowledge and bliss.

For a pure devotee of the Lord, any topics in relation with His name,
fame, quality, entourage, etc., are all pleasing, and because such topics
have been approved by great devotees like Narada, Hanuman, Nanda
Maharaja and other inhabitants of Vrndavana, certainly such messages are
transcendental and pleasing to the heart and soul.

And by the constant hearing of the messages of the Bhagavad-gita, and
later of Srimad-Bhdgavatam, one is assured herein by Srila Sukadeva
Gosvami that he will reach the Personality of Godhead and render Him
transcendental loving service in the spiritual planet of the name Goloka
Vrndavana, which resembles a huge lotus flower.

Thus by the process of bhakti-yoga, directly accepted as suggested in
this verse by hearing sufficiently the transcendental message of the Lord,
the material contamination is directly eliminated without one’s attempting
to contemplate the impersonal virdta conception of the Lord. And by
practicing bhakti-yoga, if the performer is not purified from the material
contamination, he must be a pseudo-devotee. For such an imposter there
is no remedy for being freed from the material entanglement.

Thus end the Bhaktivedanta purports of the Second Canto, Second
Chapter, of the Srimad-Bhagavatam, entitled “The Lord in the Heart.”
