Namanta eva san-mukharitāṁ bhavadīya-vārtām: "Just try to hear the message of God from realized soul." San-mukharitāṁ bhavadīya-vār . . . "Simply hear." Then sthāne sthitāḥ, "You remain in your position. It doesn't matter what you are. You remain in . . ." Sthāne sthitāḥ śruti-gatāṁ tanu-vāṅ-manobhiḥ. "Kindly give aural reception to the words, authoritative words, of Bhagavad-gītā, Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, like that." Then . . . God is called Ajita. Nobody can conquer. Kṛṣṇa his . . . another name is Ajita. "He becomes jita, conquered, simply by hearing from him." Sthāne sthitāḥ śruti-gatāṁ tanu-vāṅ-manobhiḥ. There are many such verses in Bhāgavata also.
- śṛṇvatāṁ sva-kathāḥ kṛṣṇaḥ
- puṇya-śravaṇa-kīrtanaḥ
- hṛdy antaḥ-stho abhadrāṇi
- vidhunoti suhṛt satām
- (SB 1.2.17)
When you begin to hear about Kṛṣṇa, śṛṇvatāṁ sva-kathāḥ kṛṣṇaḥ, so Kṛṣṇa is within your heart. He immediately becomes alert, "Oh, this man, this human being, is now hearing." Śṛṇvatāṁ sva . . . puṇya-śravaṇa-kīrtanaḥ. So if you simply hear, even if you do not understand what it is being spoken . . . just like the children. They do not understand anything, but they are hearing. They are sitting. They are hearing. Or some woman, they do not understand; I am speaking in English. But because they are hearing, it is puṇya-śravaṇa-kīrtanaḥ, they are acquiring piety . . . acquiring.This is called ajñāta-sukṛti, piety acquired without knowledge.
