those who have understood never give up bhakti

[Guest guest]

TRANSLATION

O brahmana, how could anyone who knows the essence of life and is disgusted

with endeavoring for sense gratification give up the transcendental topics

of Lord Uttamahsloka after hearing them repeatedly?

PURPORT

Srila Visvanatha Cakravarti comments herein that we see many persons who,

even after hearing the topics of the Lord repeatedly, give up their

spiritual dedication. The acarya replies that the word visesa-jna is

therefore significant here. Those who have actually understood the essence

of life do not give up Krsna consciousness. A further qualification is to be

visannah kama-marganaih, disgusted with material sense gratification. These

two qualities are complementary. One who has experienced the real taste of

Krsna consciousness automatically becomes disgusted with the inferior taste

of material pleasure. Such a genuine hearer of the topics of Krsna cannot

give up hearing about the Lord's fascinating pastimes.
