94 Srimad-Bhagavatam [Canto 7, Ch. 7

To go back to Godhead, one may live alone anywhere, in any condition,
and simply sit down, meditate upon the Supersoul and chant and hear
about the Lord. Thus there is no difficulty in approaching the Lord.
Adanta-gobhir visatarh tamisram. Because of inability to control the
senses, one must go through great endeavor to go to hell, but if one is
sensible he can very easily obtain the favor of the Supreme Personality of
Godhead because the Lord is always with him. By the simple method of
Sravanam kirtanam visnoh, the Lord is satisfied. Indeed, the Lord says:

patram puspam phalam toyam
yo me bhaktya prayacchati
tad aham bhakty-upahrtam

asndmi prayatatmanah

“If one offers Me with love and devotion a leaf, a flower, fruit or water, I
will accept it.” (Bg. 9.26) One can meditate upon the Lord anywhere
and everywhere. Thus Prahlada Maharaja advised his friends, the sons
of the demons, to take this path back home, back to Godhead, without
difficulty.
