<< VERSE 19 >>
मद्धर्मणो गुणैरेतैः परिसंशुद्ध आशयः । पुरुषस्याञ्जसाभ्येति श्रुतमात्रगुणं हि माम् ॥१९॥
mad-dharmaṇo guṇair etaiḥ parisaṁśuddha āśayaḥ puruṣasyāñjasābhyeti śruta-mātra-guṇaṁ hi mām
WORD BY WORD
mat-dharmaṇaḥ of My devotee; guṇaiḥ with the attributes; etaiḥ these; parisaṁśuddhaḥ completely purified; āśayaḥ consciousness; puruṣasya of a person; añjasā instantly; abhyeti approaches; śruta by hearing; mātra simply; guṇam quality; hi certainly; mām Me;
TRANSLATION
| When one is fully qualified with all these transcendental attributes and his consciousness is thus completely purified, he is immediately attracted simply by hearing My name or hearing of My transcendental quality.
|
PURPORT
| In the beginning of this instruction, the Lord explained to His mother that mad-guṇa-śruti-mātreṇa, simply by hearing of the name, quality, form, etc., of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, one is immediately attracted. A person becomes fully qualified with all transcendental qualities by following the rules and regulations, as recommended in different scriptures. We have developed certain unnecessary qualities by material association, and by following the above process we become free from that contamination. To develop transcendental qualities, as explained in the previous verse, one must become free from these contaminated qualities.
