The person who expounds the glory of God must have the thrill of genuine experience. Then you are supremely lucky as a listener, for it yields the best results. The expounder's face will blossom with joy; their eyes will shed tears of bliss at the very contemplation of the glory of God. When you listen, you should catch that inspiration. Then, you will experience that joy yourself. When an infant smiles, those around also smile in unison. Similarly, the words of those who are saturated with devotion to God will saturate the hearts of those who listen too with devotion and joy. It is impossible to measure the profit that one can derive while in the company of the pious and the great.
- Bhagavatha Vahini, Chap 1, "The Bhagavatha"
