We have to hear patiently, by aural reception. Caitanya Mahaprabhu also accepted this process. This is the process, Vedic process--to hear about Krsna. So nasta-prayesu abhadresu ntyam bhagavata-sevaya. Nityam. This point we have discussed. The Bhagavat has to be studied from a person Bhagavatam. Bhagavata-sevaya. Tad viddhi pranipatena pariprasnena sevaya. One has to learn Bhagavatam from a person you can surrender…So simply by hearing from the authoritative sources, nityam bhagavata sevaya, as it is described. But we don't find anywhere: saptaham bhagavata-sevaya. No. Nityam bhagavata-sevaya. So nityam bhagavat-sevaya. Nasta-prayesu abhadresu. Abhadra. Abhadra means the quality of ignorance and passion. They are abominable. Ignorance is most abominable, abominable, and passion is abominable. These two things must be given up. But simply by hearing about Krsna, simply by hearing about Srimad-Bhagavatam, from the person Bhagavatam, one can get rid of these dirty things, namely mode of ignorance and mode of passion.
