Category:Giving Aural Reception
Theme Analysis
The process of bhakti-yoga begins with śravaṇam, or giving aural reception to the transcendental message of Kṛṣṇa. Śrīla Prabhupāda emphasizes that spiritual advancement does not require mundane education, academic degrees, or a change in one's social or occupational position. Whether one understands the philosophy fully or not, simply sitting down and submissively hearing the Hare Kṛṣṇa mahā-mantra, Bhagavad-gītā, and Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam from a bona fide source immediately begins the process of purification. The ears are God-gifted instruments specifically meant for receiving this transcendental sound vibration. By avoiding unauthorized speakers and instead giving aural reception to the kṛṣṇa-kathā flowing from the lips of pure devotees, the heart is cleansed of all material contamination, illusion, and fear. This simple act of submissive hearing is so powerful that it allows even the most fallen souls to conquer the unconquerable Supreme Lord and attain perfect self-realization.
- The Simplicity and Universality of Śravaṇam Giving aural reception requires no mundane academic qualifications or changes in one's life situation. One can remain in their current position, regardless of background, and simply by hearing from an authoritative source, they become purified and enlightened.
- Cleansing the Heart through Transcendental Sound Even if one does not fully comprehend the philosophy, submissively hearing the Hare Kṛṣṇa mahā-mantra and kṛṣṇa-kathā acts as a potent medicine. It clears up all inauspiciousness within the heart and frees the conditioned soul from material entanglement.
- The Importance of a Bona Fide Source One must give aural reception strictly to pure devotees and authorized Vedic literatures like the Bhagavad-gītā and Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam. Hearing from unauthorized persons is ineffective, whereas hearing from a self-realized soul awakens pure love of Godhead.
- The Ultimate Goal Achieved By continuously giving aural reception to the pastimes of the Lord, the living entity is gradually elevated to the highest perfectional stage. This submissive hearing is the key to conquering the Supreme Lord Himself and returning back home, back to Godhead.
