It is personally experienced by Sri Narada Muni that for persons who are always full with cares and anxieties on account of desiring contact of the senses with sense object,—constant chanting of the transcendental activities of the Personality of Godhead (Hari) is just the suitable boat for crossing the ocean of nescience.

The symptom of a living being is that he cannot remain silent even for some time. He must be doing something, thinking of something or talking about something. Generally the materialistic men do work do think and do discuss on subjects which satisfy their senses. But as these things are excercised under the influence of the external illusory energy, such activities of sense satisfaction do not actually give them any sort of satisfaction but on the contrary they become full with cares and anxieties. This called Maya or what is not. The thing which cannot give them is satisfaction is accepted as a thing for satisfaction. So Narada Muni by His personal experience desires to express it that satisfaction for such frustrated beings engaged in sense satisfaction, is to chant always the activities of the Lord. The point is that the subject matter only shall be changed. Nobody can check the thinking activities of a living being; similarly the feeling and willing or practically working process, but if they want actual happiness they must change the subject matter only. Instead of talking in politics of a dying man, one may discuss the politics administered by the Lord Himself. Instead of relishing activities of the cinema artists one may turn the attention to the activities of the Lord with His eternal associates like the Gopis and Laxmis. The almighty Personality of Godhead by His causeless mercy descends on the earth and manifests activities almost on the line of the worldly men, but at the same time extraordinarily, because He is Almighty, He does so for the benefit of all conditioned souls so that they can turn their attention on transcendence. By doing so the conditioned soul will gradually be promoted to the transcendental position and cross easily the ocean of nescience the source of all miseries. This is stated by personal experience of an authority like Sri Narda Muni and we can have the same experience also if we begin to follow the foot prints of the great sage dearmost devotee of the Lord.

The symptom of a living being is that he cannot remain silent even for some time. He must be doing something, thinking of something or talking about something. Generally the materialistic men think and discuss about subjects which satisfy their senses. But as these things are exercised under the influence of the external, illusory energy, such sensual activities do not actually give them any satisfaction. On the contrary, they become full with cares and anxieties. This is called #i#māyā#/i#, or what is not. That which cannot give them satisfaction is accepted as an object for satisfaction. So Nārada Muni, by his personal experience, says that satisfaction for such frustrated beings engaged in sense gratification is to chant always the activities of the Lord. The point is that the subject matter only should be changed. No one can check the thinking activities of a living being, nor the feeling, willing or working processes. But if one wants actual happiness, one must change the subject matter only. Instead of talking of the politics of a dying man, one might discuss the politics administered by the Lord Himself. Instead of relishing activities of the cinema artists, one can turn his attention to the activities of the Lord with His eternal associates like the #i#gopīs#/i# and Lakṣmīs. The almighty Personality of Godhead, by His causeless mercy, descends on the earth and manifests activities almost on the line of the worldly men, but at the same time extraordinarily, because He is almighty. He does so for the benefit of all conditioned souls so that they can turn their attention to transcendence. By doing so, the conditioned soul will gradually be promoted to the transcendental position and easily cross the ocean of nescience, the source of all miseries. This is stated from personal experience by such an authority as Śrī Nārada Muni. And we can have the same experience also if we begin to follow in the footsteps of the great sage, the dearmost devotee of the Lord.
