Text 23] Prahlada Instructs His Demoniac Schoolmates 27

society, family, community and nation is extremely difficult. Pleasing
Narayana, however, is not at all difficult; it is very easy.

One’s duty is to revive one’s relationship with Narayana. A slight en-
deavor in this direction will make the attempt successful, whereas one
will never be successful in pleasing his so-called family, society and
nation, even if one endeavors to sacrifice his life. The simple endeavor
involved in the devotional service of Sravanam kirtanam visnoh, hearing
and chanting the holy name of the Lord, can make one successful in
pleasing the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu
has therefore bestowed His blessings by saying, param vijayate Sri-
krsna-sankirtanam: “All glories to Sri Krsna sankirtana!” If one wants
to derive the actual benefit from this human form, he must take to the

chanting of the holy name of the Lord.
