This Krsna consciousness movement is giving chance people to become pious. Punya-sravana-kirtanah. “How? I have no money. How can I become pious? I cannot give in charity. I cannot go to take bath in the Ganges, and…” So many, there are pious activities. Tapasa brahmacaryena tyagena yamena niyamena [SB 6.1.13].

There are so many processes to become pious. In the sastra there are recommendation, “You do this to become pious.” So in this Kali-yuga people have lost all stamina how to become pious. They are so sinful. But here is the only means: you simply come here and hear about Krsna. You have got ears; Krsna has given you ears. And Krsna has given you tongue also. You can speak. Just like we are reciting the verses. So the tongue is there, the ear is here, there, and you can hear from realized soul and make your life perfect simply by hearing.
