The Nectar of Krishna Katha
vayam tu na vitrpyama
uttama-sloka-vikrame
yac-chrŠvatam rasa jnanam
svadu svadu pade pade
We never tire of hearing the transcendental pastimes of the
Personality of Godhead, who is glorified by hymns and prayers. Those
who have developed a taste for transcendental relationships with Him
relish hearing of His pastimes at every moment.
Srimad-Bhagavatam 1.1.19
nigama-kalpa-taror galitam phalam
suka-mukhad amrta-drava-samyutam
pibata bhagavatam rasam alayam
muhur aho rasika bhuvi bhavukah
Srimad-Bhagavatam is the essence of all Vedic literature. It is the ripenened fruit of the desire tree of Vedic knowledge. It has been sweetened by emanating from the mouth of sukadeva Gosvami. O thoughtful men, who relish transcendental mellows, always taste this fully ripened fruit. As long as you are aspiring to be absorbed in the transcendental bliss derived from the Lord’s service, you should continue tasting Srimad-Bhagavatam even after liberation.
Srimad-Bhagavatam 1.3.43
Just like there are some note-makers of school books, "Easy Study." So Lord Caitanya has recommended that "You may be engaged in whatever occupation. That may be good or bad. We don't mind for that. But you must hear the Krsna-katha. You must continue to hear this Bhagavad-gita." That is... For this, we are trying to organize this institution, that "You come. Whatever you do, that doesn't matter. Everything will be adjusted by and by." Because, as I have described in the beginning, that srnvatam sva- kathah krsnah, hrdy antha-stha abhadrani. Everything will be adjusted as our mind becomes clear, clear, clear, simply by hearing.

Simply by hearing. So this process, this association of hearing about the Krsna-katha, what Krsna is speaking and what is spoken about Krsna, if we continue about the, about this process and chanting the Krsna name, you'll practically see how much your heart is becoming clearer and clearer and how much you are pro.., making progress towards spiritual realization and real, real identity of pure consciousness. Thank you very much. Any question?
Mukunda: If a good man, who is passed through the states of being ignorant and passionate and he's really a good man, is walking down the street, let's say, in Delhi or Istanbul or any place, any city. And he sees a very young man beating up on a very old man just for no reason at all. He's just beating up, beating him to death. And the old man is calling out for help and there's a few people standing around. And as he approaches, he, he begins to get stirred by this scene. And being a good man he feels the whip on this other human being's back. Now, as a good man, should he not take sides on the two people quarreling and accept it and just walk on, even though he feels something welling up in him, or should he give way to what would be a passionate desire and try to interrupt and stop this injustice, so to speak?
