A Goswami or the rightful representative of Srila Vyasadeva must be free from all kinds of vices. The preliminary vices are 1. Illicit connection with women, 2. Indulgence of unnecessary animal slaughter, 3. To live a life of intoxication and 4. Endeavouring in the matter of speculative gambling of all descriptions. A Goswami therefore, is freed from all these symptomatic uncleanness before he can dare to sit on the Vysa Asana. Noboby should be allowed to sit on the Vyasa Asana who is not spotless in character with special reference to the above four principles. He shall not only be freed from all such vices but also he must be well versed in all revealed scriptures or the Vedas. The Puranas are also parts of the Vedas. And histories like the Mahabharata or Ramayana are also parts of the Vedas. The Acharya or the Goswami must be well acquainted with all these literary field. To hear and explain them is more important than reading. One can only assimilate the knowledge of the revealed scriptures by hearing and explaining. Hearing is called #i#SHRABAN#/i# and explaining is called #i#KIRTAN#/i#. Therefore these two processes namely Shraban and Kirtan are two principal factors in the progressive spiritual life. One who has properly grasped the transcendental knowledge from the right source by submissive hearing only can properly explain the subject.

A #i#gosvāmī#/i#, or the bona fide representative of Śrī Vyāsadeva, must be free from all kinds of vices. The four major vices of Kali-yuga are (1) illicit connection with women, (2) animal slaughter, (3) intoxication, (4) speculative gambling of all sorts. A #i#gosvāmī#/i# must be free from all these vices before he can dare sit on the #i#vyāsāsana#/i#. No one should be allowed to sit on the #i#vyāsāsana#/i# who is not spotless in character and who is not freed from the above-mentioned vices. He not only should be freed from all such vices, but must also be well versed in all revealed scriptures or in the #i#Vedas#/i#. The #i#Purāṇas#/i# are also parts of the #i#Vedas#/i#. And histories like the #i#Mahābhārata#/i# or #i#Rāmāyaṇa#/i# are also parts of the #i#Vedas#/i#. The #i#ācārya#/i# or the #i#gosvāmī#/i# must be well acquainted with all these literatures. To hear and explain them is more important than reading them. One can assimilate the knowledge of the revealed scriptures only by hearing and explaining. Hearing is called #i#śravaṇa#/i#, and explaining is called #i#kīrtana#/i#. The two processes of #i#śravaṇa#/i# and #i#kīrtana#/i# are of primary importance to progressive spiritual life. Only one who has properly grasped the transcendental knowledge from the right source by submissive hearing can properly explain the subject.
