- Bhaktivinoda Thakura says in the song: “O mind why do you have no taste for listening to Krsna-katha?” Due to their sinful reactions, people are only interested in worldly conversations.
- To destroy sins and enjoy Harikata, the solution is Nama-sankirtana. Sloka: ceto-darpaṇa-mārjanaṁ (CC Antya-lila 20.12)
- In the age of Kali there is no other way to purify the heart: harer nāma harer nāma harer nāma (CC Madhya-lila 6.242). It is said three times to emphasise doing it with determination.
- Only through sadhu-sanga and Nama-sankirtana can one obtain the Lord, karma, knowledge or yoga do not grant this result.
- The solution to obtain the Lord is to practise Bhakti-yoga, and the first step is to purify the heart through sradha, simple faith, in the Guru and the Sastras.
- Definition of Bhakti is service, seva-vrtti: sitting and listening to Harikatha is seva, chanting the Holy Names is seva, accepting the remnants of the Lord is seva.
- Forgetfulness of Krsna is due to the fact that the soul is covered by the gross and subtle body.
- The nature of the soul is to serve Krsna, if it does not accept the service, it will have to serve Maya.
- It is necessary to understand that we are spiritual souls, to be able to leave the ocean of material existence.
- It is necessary to realise that we are soul, listen to Harikata and absorb ourselves in the Lord.
- There are different types of birth, when you accept a Guru, that is the spiritual birth.
