Aural Reception leads to Fearlessness!

Verse 1.7.7: If we take shelter of Krishna, in the process of bhakti, then illusion, fear and attachment are all taken away.
Kunti Maharani says: When we are rich or beautiful or intelligent, we are not happy. But when we take shelter of Krishna, then Krishna brings us out of this illusion of moha, shoka and bhaya.

Today, people are very much interested in externalities. Even in devotees, we love a devotee not because he is a pure devotee, but just because from bodily side, he has something good. But Narada muni when he was meditating, Krishna appeared to him once. Then He told him that my son I will not appear again, but you love me for the rest of your life.
Moral: Good times are a preparation for the bad times of life.

Krishna gives everything and takes everything in tests. The problems are in our heart. But if we believe in Krishna, then He will give us the strength, that we are eternally His part and parcel.

Our life is to get rid of the impurities, lust, anger and false ego. If we stand through the tests, then we become fearless.

Srila Prabhupada's life is a living example of what is stated in the Srimad Bhagavatam. He lived through all the tests and came out successful. Srila Prabhupada ki Jay!!!!
