If realisation of the Absolute Truth is the ultimate aim of life, it must be carried out by all means. In any one of the above mentioned status and order of life the four processes namely 1. glorifying some body, 2. hearing of some body, 3. remembering of some body or 4. worshipping of some body are general occupation. Without these principles of life no body can exist. Activities of the living beings means engagements in these different four principles of life. Specially in the modern society all activities are more or less dependant on hearing and glorifying propaganda. Any man of any social status becomes an well known man in the human society within a very short time if he is simply glorified truly or falsely in the daily news papers that man of course becomes at once an important man. Sometimes political leaders of a particular party are also so advertised by paper propaganda and by such glorifying method an insignificant man becomes an important man—within no time. But such propaganda work by false glorification of an non-glorified living being cannot bring about any good either for the particular man or for the society. Temporary reaction may have some effect on such propaganda but there is no permanent effect. As such, such occupational activities are simply waste of time. Actual object of glorification is the Supreme Personality of Godhead Who has created the whole thing manifested before us. We have broadly discussed this fact in the beginning of the Janmadysya sloka of Bhagwat. Therefore the tendency of glorifying others or hearing others may be turned for the real glorified Supreme Being and that will bring in the desired result.

The actual object of glorification is the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who has created everything manifested before us. We have broadly discussed this fact from the beginning of the "#i#janmādy asya#/i#" (SB 1.1.1) #i#śloka#/i# of this #i#Bhāgavatam#/i#. The tendency to glorify others or hear others must be turned to the real object of glorification-the Supreme Being. And that will bring happiness.
