Lord Shri Krishna the Absolute Personality of Godhead is not only attractive by personal feature but also He is attractive by His transcendental activities. It is so because the Absolute is Absolute by His Name, Fame, Form, Pastimes, Entourage, Parapharnalia etc. The Lord out of His causeless mercy descends on this material world and displays His various transcendental pastime as human being so that the human being attracted towards Him thus, becomes able to go back to Godhead. They are naturally apt to give aural reception to histories and narrations of various personalities of mundane activities without knowing that by such association of mundane affairs one can simply waste valuable time of one's life and also become addicted to the three qualities of mundane nature. Instead of wasting time in such mundane qualitative affairs one can get spiritual success by turning the attention to the transcendental pastimes of the Lord. By such aural reception of the narration of the pastimes of the Lord the hearer contacts directly the Personality of Godhead and as explained before, by hearing about the Personality of Godhead from within, it causes clearance of all accumulated sins of the mundane creature. Being cleared of all sins by such aural reception of the narratian of pastimes of the Lord, the hearer gradually becomes liberated from the mundane association and become attracted in features of the Lord. Narada Muni has just explained this practical facts by his personal experience in the past. The whole idea is concentrated on the point that simply by hearing about the Lord's pastimes one can become one of the associates of the Lord. Narada Muni who has eternal life, unlimited knowledge and unfathomed bliss with access of travelling all over the material and spiritual worlds without any restriction. One can attain to the highest perfection of life simply by attentive hearing of the transcendental pastimes of the Lord from the right sources, as Sri Narada heard it from the pure devotees Bhaktivedantas in His previous life. This process of hearing, in the association of the devotees, is specially recommended in this age of quarrel (Kali).

Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa, the Absolute Personality of Godhead, is attractive not only in His personal features, but also in His transcendental activities. It is so because the Absolute is absolute by His name, fame, form, pastimes, entourage, paraphernalia, etc. The Lord descends on this material world out of His causeless mercy and displays His various transcendental pastimes as a human being so that human beings attracted towards Him become able to go back to Godhead. Men are naturally apt to hear histories and narrations of various personalities performing mundane activities, without knowing that by such association one simply wastes valuable time and also becomes addicted to the three qualities of mundane nature. Instead of wasting time, one can get spiritual success by turning his attention to the transcendental pastimes of the Lord. By hearing the narration of the pastimes of the Lord, one contacts directly the Personality of Godhead, and, as explained before, by hearing about the Personality of Godhead, from within, all accumulated sins of the mundane creature are cleared. Thus being cleared of all sins, the hearer gradually becomes liberated from mundane association and becomes attracted to the features of the Lord. Nārada Muni has just explained this by his personal experience. The whole idea is that simply by hearing about the Lord's pastimes one can become one of the associates of the Lord. Nārada Muni has eternal life, unlimited knowledge and unfathomed bliss, and he can travel all over the material and spiritual worlds without restriction. One can attain to the highest perfection of life simply by attentive hearing of the transcendental pastimes of the Lord from the right sources, as Śrī Nārada heard them from the pure devotees (#i#bhakti-vedāntas#/i#) in his previous life. This process of hearing in the association of the devotees is especially recommended in this age of quarrel (Kali).
