Through the process of listening to the glory of God, an impure heart will be transformed into a pure, illumined heart shining with divine light. To the foul odors of sense-pursuits, keenness to listen to the splendor of God is a valuable disinfectant, besides being in itself so full of sweet fragrance. The listening will cleanse the heart through the prompting it gives for good work. Such a cleansed heart is the most appropriate altar. In that fragrant bower, the Lord will establish Himself. At that very moment, another event too will occur. The group of six vices that had infested the heart will quit without any farewell. When these vices quit, the wicked retinue of evil tendencies and vulgar attitudes which live on them will break camp and disappear without a trace! Then, you will shine in your native splendour of Truth and Love, an d be successful in merging with the Universal and Eternal.
- Bhagavatha Vahini, Ch. 1 "The Bhagavatha�.
