Rendering service to the Pure Devotee + Regular reading of Srimad Bhagavatam = Highest perfection of Life

Verse 1.2.18: This section of the Srimad Bhagavatam is very important, verses 13 to around 24. Here Srila Suta Goswami is explaining the perfection of life and the process to achieve it. In verse 13, he explains how to please the Supreme Personality of Godhead and from there on he explains how each one links to other. Like a chain reaction:
13: Highest perfection of life is to please the Supreme Personality of Godhead
14: Hearing, remembering and worshiping the Supreme Personality of Godhead, we can please him
15: What will we achieve then, we will be able to cut the knot of material entanglement
16: Then he goes on to explain, how one can get the taste of Hearing. Just by serving the devotees, one gets the taste for hearing. Serving is most important.
17: Then what happens, once we get the taste, the paramatma cleanses the heart
18: Here, service to devotees and attending bhagavatam classes are stressed. This will help loving service to the Supreme Personality of Godhead get established into our heart. By serving the book and devotee bhagavatam, all obstacles troublesome to the heart are completely destroyed. These two things are very important for all devotees to remember. This will eventually help us to please the Supreme Personality of Godhead and therefore achieve the highest perfection of life.
