For one who is anxious to engage constantly in hearing such topics,
Krsna-katha, he gradually increases his indifference towards all other
things. Such constant remembrance of the lotus feet of Lord Krsna by
the devotee who has achieved transcendental bliss vanquishes all his
miseries without delay.

We must certainly know that on the absolute plane Krsna-katha and
Krsna are one and the same. The Lord is the Absolute Truth, and
therefore His name, form, quality, etc., which are all understood to
be Krsna-katha, are nondifferent from Him. Bhagavad-gita, being spoken
by the Lord, is as good as the Lord Himself. When a sincere devotee
reads Bhagavad-gita, this is as good as seeing the Lord face to face
in his personal presence.

The sraddhana, or faithful devotee, can actually derive all the
benefits of Bhagavad-gita because by the omnipotency of the Lord he
achieves the transcendental bliss which vanquishes attachment and
nullifies all concomitant material miseries. Only the devotee, by his
factual experience, can understand the import of this verse spoken by
Vidura.

The pure devotee of the Lord enjoys life by constantly remembering the
lotus feet of the Lord by hearing Krsna-katha. For such a devotee
there is no such thing as material existence, and the much advertised
bliss of brahmananda is like a fig for the devotee who is in the midst
of the transcendental ocean of bliss.
