Pearls of Wisdom - 29
Parikshit Maharaja, "What should a man hear about, chant, remember and worship, and what he should refrain from doing?"
Shukadeva Goswami,"My dear King, your question is glorious because it is very beneficial for all kinds of people. The answer to this question is the prime subject matter for hearing. Materially engrossed people have many subjects for hearing because they are blind to the knowledge of the Absolute Truth."
"During the day, they work hard to earn money, and at night they pass their time in sleep and sexual indulgence. Although the truth is right before their eyes, such materially engrossed persons do not see their inevitable destruction. One who desires to become freed from material miseries must hear about, glorify and remember the Supreme Lord, for the highest perfection is to remember Lord at the end of life."
Canto - 1
