Sravanam and Kirtanam...

Verse 1.8.36 (YKPr):
* Mother Kunti is telling that by the process of bhakti (which includes sravanam and kirtanam), we see Krishna eye to eye one day.
* Why do we not see Krishna now first of all? Krishna says in the BG, because He is the Supreme Lord, He reserves the right of His appearance.
* Our heart is filled with demoniac tendencies, simultaneously theoretically we are knowing things about Krishna. But we need to be pure to be along with the Supremely pure Krishna.
* We need to attain the Brahmabhuta stage. We need to develop the longing to listen about Krishna. If we have such desire to listen about Krishna and in the mood of service, then we make lot of progress. Be conscious of Krishna, not just Krishna
activity.
* Every moment is a test for us, if we make proper choices, definitely we will see Krishna eye to eye one day.
* So when we hear SP's translations and purports, because his only desire is to send as many souls as possible back to Godhead, then we understand the strength of listening.
* Eg: Avanti Brahamana's pastimes.
* SP says, try to perfect at least one process of Bhakti, then surely we will attain Krishna.
