Srimad-Bhagavatam is a narration about the Personality of Godhead and the devotees of the Lord like the Pandavas. The narration of the Personality of Godhead and His devotees is absolute in itself, and thus to hear it with a devotional attitude is to associate with the Lord and constant companions with the Lord. Such constant companionship with the Lord by the process of hearing Srimad-Bhagavatam helps one attain the highest perfection of life, namely going back home, back to Godhead, without fail.
