Worshipping the Sound form of the Lord!

Verse 1.5.38: Here, Srila Narada muni is instructing and explaining to Vyasadeva, saying that he is not satisfied because Vyasadev has not yet explained the glories of the Lord. Naradamuni here continues to say that he is the actual seer, who worships the Lord in the from of transcendental sound representation.

Here, Srila Prabhupada in his purport, is talking about how powerful sound vibration is. Just by listening to somebody about the Supreme Personality of Godhead, our faith in Him will become strong. If we hear about the glories of the Lord, then we can come out of our conditioning and we realize that our faith is becoming stronger in Him.

As we put some little faith in science and start off in our studies. Similarly in our spiritual life also, we need to put some faith and associate with devotees. Now starting to chant and listen about the Lord, our faith becomes stronger and we get further realizations about the actual presence of the Lord in and around us.

The instructions given by Caitanya Mahaprabhu also, just 8 of them, the first one is chanting of the Holy Name. He is describing the glories to the Holy name, which is the sound representation of the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
