Only by listening Aprākṛta-śabda-brahma it is possible to connect with the spiritual world

The most vital procedure of Śravaṇaṁ: Aprākṛta-śabda-brahma-vāṇī-vaibhava is the necessary medium to get in touch with the transcendental world. Hari-kathā is the language of our heart: it is beyond language and the limits of our material senses. Kirtans of Narottama das Thakur. The superexcellency of actual hari-kathā-kīrtana: by continuing to hear, our capacity to catch will increase. The special feature of aprākṛta sound vibration and the magic spell of hari-kathā. The nature of the subtle body and the role of its respective elements. False ego is always behind our experience of enjoyment, but it can be transformed into a positive ego by the help of Guru-Vaiṣṇava.

naitan manas tava kathāsu vikuṇṭha-nātha
samprīyate durita-duṣṭam asādhu tīvram
kāmāturaṁ harṣa-śoka-bhayaiṣaṇārtaṁ
tasmin kathaṁ tava gatiṁ vimṛśāmi dīnaḥ

My dear Lord of the Vaikuṇṭha planets, where there is no anxiety, my mind is extremely sinful and lusty, being sometimes so-called happy and sometimes so-called distressed. My mind is full of lamentation and fear, and it always seeks more and more money. Thus it has become most polluted and is never satisfied in topics concerning You. I am therefore most fallen and poor. In such a status of life, how shall I be able to discuss Your activities? (SB7.9.39)

Though we know hari-kathā is the only way—we are sick and deluded by the persistent and eratic wanderings of our senses—the most vital teachings of Prahlād Mahārāja. 4th catuḥ-śloka: etāvad eva jijñāsyaṁ: we must apply ourselves completely and wholeheartedly in the search for the Absolute Truth. Relaxation and sevā (bhakti) cannot co-exist—the mood of enjoyment must be cut. We can easily relate to the dedication necessary to accomplish material endeavors—but we must realize how to apply tremendous ardent endeavor toward bhakti—otherwise how can we expect any result? The exact meaning of sevāka: sevāka is bound by the order of master—though only by their blessings one receives the potency to execute—Bhagavān’s promise to Brahmājī. Without following Vidhi-mārga it's impossible to become Raganuga Bhakta. The glories of the paramparā distribution of knowledge. Śrīla Sagar Gosvāmī Mahārāja: niṣkiñcanā pracārak.
