Verse 1.2.8: Actually, the verse that we read today is so wonderful. We have to really understand it very well. Anything in this world, that has no connection with Krishna is absolutely useless. For example, a rich person constructs a big 20-story house and starts collecting money for 20-30 years. But still he has to leave and go some time or the other. Even Brahma has to leave.
But here Bhagavatam is telling about pure devotional service, that which is eternally useful to us. It is telling that we are either in sense gratification or extended sense gratification. We are better and we want others also to get better to enjoy better sense gratification, since everything does not involve Krishna.
So bhagavatam is straight away rejecting such ism's. Anything we do should increase our inclination for hearing and chanting, increase our attachment to Krishna. Any other thing is useless.
Which does not invoke attraction to Krishna, all such activity is absolutely useless. Philanthropies, Altruism etc etc, all this without Krishna will not get us anything.
Prabhuji wants everyone to memorize this verse too. Thank you.
