1412 Srimad-Bhagavatam [Canto 4, Ch. 29
TRANSLATION
O best of kings, one who is faithful, who is always hearing the glories of
the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who is always engaged in the culture
of Krsna consciousness and in hearing of the Lord’s activities, very soon
becomes eligible to see the Supreme Personality of Godhead face to face.
PURPORT
Constant engagement in the transcendental loving service of Vasudeva
means constantly hearing the glories of the Lord. The principles of bhakti-
yoga—sravanam kirtanam visnoh smaranam pdda-sevanam/ arcanarh
vandanam dasyam sakhyam atma-nivedanam—are the only means by which
perfection can be attained. Simply by hearing of the glories of the Lord,
one is elevated to the transcendental position.
