By chanting and hearing the countless names of Lord Śrī Hari, which describe His glorious qualities, all human beings can be relieved of their sins. Neither knowledge devoid of devotion for Lord Viṣṇu nor fruitive work not offered to Him have any real beauty. By constant remembrance of Lord Kṛṣṇa, on the other hand, all one’s inauspicious desires are destroyed, one’s mind is purified, and one attains devotion for Lord Śrī Hari along with knowledge filled with realization and detachment.
