| Reading and enjoying the stories of the glory of the Lord in some sacred spot like temple, prayer hall, shrine, hermitage of a saint, or in the company of virtuous and good people, is a source of great inspiration and joy. It will make you forget everything else. Taste for such wholesome literature is the result of accumulated merit and endeavour. You can even approach pious men, serve them and listen to their exposition of the glory of God. Listening alone will be enough in the beginning. Later, the stories will arouse interest in the nature and characteristics of God and the aspirants will find and seek for themselves the path to Self-realization. - Bhagavatha Vahini, Chap 1 - "The Bhagavatha". |
