Before beginning a song, we should read its meaning and translation, so our hearts will be touched.
To truly listen means to practice what you have heard.
In Kali-yuga, many people will come to confuse us, and we will not know which perfect path and philosophy we should follow. Therefore, Mahaprabhu instructs us to be single-minded in Guru and Krishna, and to chant the Holy Names.
If our mind is disturbed, it means we are not listening to Harikatha correctly.
What our Guru Parampara is saying is the absolute truth.
First, we must try to control our own mind.
If our mind is not focused, it becomes disturbed; this demonstrates that we do not yet have guru-nistha and that we are not doing bhajana and sadhana.
Kali-yuga begins on the day Krishna departs from this material world, 5000 years ago, at the end of Dvapara-yuga.
Abhyasa and vairagya (constant practice and renunciation of sense pleasure) are the means to control our mind.
The Srimad Bhagavatam is like a bridge in this world used to traverse material existence.
