The qualification of the speaker of the transcendental activities of the Lord, is that one should have only one object of worship and service of Lord Krishna the Supreme Personality of Godhead. And the audience for such topic are those who are anxious to hear about Him. When such combination is made possible namely the qualified speaker and the qualified audience it is then and there it becomes very much congenial to continue the discourses of the transcendence. Professional speaker and materially absorbed audience cannot derive the real benefit from such discourses. Professional speakers make a show of Bhagwat Saptaha for the sake of family maintenance and the materially disposed audience hear such discourses of Bhagwat Saptaha for some material benefit namely religiosity, wealth, gratification of the senses or liberation. Such exchange business of Bhagwatam discourses, is not purified from the contamination of material qualities. But the discourses between the saints of Naimisranya and Sri Suta Goswami are on the transcendental level for the sake of hearing the Lord's activities without any motive for material gain. In such discourses only the unlimited transcendental mellow is relished both by the audience and speaker and therefore they can continue the topics for many thousands of Bhagwat Saptahas held for seven days only and after finishing the show, both the audience and the speaker become engaged in material activities as usual. They can do so because neither the speaker is Bhagwat Pradhana nor the audience is Sushrusu as explained above.

The speaker on the transcendental activities of the Lord should have only one object of worship and service, Lord Kṛṣṇa, the Supreme Personality of Godhead. And the audience for such topics should be anxious to hear about Him. When such a combination is possible, namely a qualified speaker and a qualified audience, it is then and there very much congenial to continue discourses on the Transcendence. Professional speakers and a materially absorbed audience cannot derive real benefit from such discourses. Professional speakers make a show of #i#Bhāgavata-saptāha#/i# for the sake of family maintenance, and the materially disposed audience hears such discourses of #i#Bhāgavata-saptāha#/i# for some material benefit, namely religiosity, wealth, gratification of the senses, or liberation. Such #i#Bhāgavatam#/i# discourses are not purified from the contamination of the material qualities. But the discourses between the saints of Naimiṣāraṇya and Śrī Sūta Gosvāmī are on the transcendental level. There is no motive for material gain. In such discourses, unlimited transcendental pleasure is relished both by the audience and by the speaker, and therefore they can continue the topics for many thousands of years. Now #i#Bhāgavata-saptāhas#/i# are held for seven days only, and after finishing the show, both the audience and the speaker become engaged in material activities as usual. They can do so because the speaker is not #i#bhagavat-pradhāna#/i# and the audience is not #i#śuśrūṣatām#/i#, as explained above.
