4 Principles of Life: Glorifying, Hearing, Remembering & Worshipping the Supreme Personality of Godhead!

Verse 1.2.15: Bhagavatam is imploring everybody, that we should listen, glorify and remember the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Krishna all the time. What is the advantage? Because of the 3 modes of material nature, whatever is temp appears as perm and whatever is perm appears temp. That is the problem of this yuga. A person does not know how to enter and exit from this world, because he does not have the eyes of scriptural knowledge. Until he is cleansed off his conditioning, it is tough. And how is this done, by glorifying the Supreme Personality of Godhead, chanting His name, serving His devotees.

So SB is imploring everybody that the problems in this world exists because there is no Krishna Consciousness. Material benedictions have a beginning and an end, but pure devotional service has no end.

Eg: Sanatana Goswami and Rupa Goswami, how they left their affluent material situations to simply serve the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu.

Devotees: Morning they do sadhana for themselves, later part of the day they utilize everything they know for others, bringing them into Krishna Consciousness. That's what will keep us in KC always and protect us from the hands of maya.
