02 Nov 2025 evening – Listening to Harikatha Makes Us Qualified (English translation) – India

* If we only follow vaidhi-bhakti, we will only reach Vaikuntha. To reach Vraja, we must perform raga-bhakti.
* By following vaidhi-marga, we will gradually be able to enter raganuga-bhakti.
* Greed comes from listening to Harikatha.
* Loving exchanges become so profound that Krsna cannot maintain His composure and becomes restless.
* If kirtan is performed along with the correct understanding of the meaning of those humors, then one can enter such humors.
* The greatest desire (kama) of the jivas.
* In the transcendental context, kama is the highest thing. But in the material world, it is the lowest thing.
* Lust is like darkness: it obscures the jiva.
* Prema elevates us, and lust degrades us.
* If you are lustful, you cannot see anything but lust, but if you have love, all you see will be love.
* To extinguish darkness, we need light. Our light is Harikatha.
* To have the darsana of the Lord, we need to use our ears and not our eyes. It is by listening to Harikatha that all kinds of anarthas go away.
* It is by listening to Harikatha that we become qualified.
