![]() That is the real process of receiving Bhāgavatam. The word niviṣṭa means that Sūta Gosvāmī drank the juice of Bhāgavatam through his ears. Simple hearing is not all one must realize the text with proper attention. Śukadeva Gosvāmī presented Bhāgavatam as he heard it from his great father, and so also Sūta Gosvāmī is presenting Bhāgavatam as he had heard it from Śukadeva Gosvāmī. Sūta Gosvāmī is a bona fide representative of Śukadeva Gosvāmī because he wants to present the message which he received from the great learned brāhmaṇa. That is the process, and there is no alternative. One has to learn Bhāgavatam from the representative of Śukadeva Gosvāmī, and no one else, if one at all wants to see Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa in the pages. ![]() Nor can one learn Bhāgavatam from one who interprets the text by his mundane scholarship. That is the secret of learning Bhāgavatam. No one can learn Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam who is associated with persons engaged in sex life. One cannot, however, learn Bhāgavatam from a bogus hired reciter whose aim of life is to earn some money out of such recitation and employ the earning in sex indulgence. One can certainly see directly the presence of Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa in the pages of Bhāgavatam if one has heard it from a self-realized great soul like Śukadeva Gosvāmī.
