There are three ways to cultivate hearing : To hear about the scripture, to hear about the holy names and topics of the Lord, and to hear devotion-filled discourses. Considering the science of the Absolute Truth, describing the Lord’s pastimes from Srimad Bhagavatam, discussing the characteristics of Vaishnvas, and hearing the ancient histories of Vaishnava families are considered “hearing the scripture.” This is to be understood by hearing conclusive statements based on Vedanta written by great personalities after carefully rejecting inconclusive, non-Vaishnava statements.Caitanya Siksamrta 3/2(as quoted in page 77 of ‘Sri Bhaktivinoda Vani Vaibhava’)______________________________________________
