Attaining perfection by Hearing!

Verse 1.18.10 (Krishna Patro Prji):

* Here, perfection of life is attaining loving service of SPG.
* Systematic hearing about the SPG will help in this way.
* Krishna as paramatma within the heart, cleanses our material contamination. When we develop the urge to hear the activities of the SPG, then paramatma cleanses our heart.
* Then one gradually comes to know of the Absolute Truth.
* Even Lord Brahma and Lord Siva cannot understand the SPG, so knowing Him is not easy. It is only by hearing about Him, will He reveal Himself to us.
* The remedy to birth, death, old age and disease, is to hear and chant the Lord's holy name.
* In the previous verse, Suta Goswami was explaining about MP, but still it is transcendental because Krishna and Krishna's devotees present the same remedies.
* So MP pastimes is also transcendental because it is connected to the Supreme Lord.
* SP's pastimes too, very special. He transformed the hippies into happies.
- One pastime of when Jagannath's Deities were originally installed. Devotees took Jagannath out without his permission. But he corrected them in such a nice way. Now, when we hear it, it is so sweet.
* How to attain perfection?
- By surrendering oneself to the Spiritual Master.
- MP also understand the SPG only after he surrendered to Srila Sukadeva Goswami.
