Translation by Srila Prabhupada: Therefore, one should concentrate his mind and constantly hear, chant, remember and worship the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who is the protector of the devotees.
PURPORT: If the realization of the Supreme Truth is the ultimate goal of life, it must be achieved by every possible means available. In each of the Varnas and Ashramas, the four methods of glorification, hearing, remembering and worshipping are common practices.
No one can live without these principles of life. The activities of living beings consist in keeping themselves busy with these four different principles of life. Especially in modern society, all activities are mainly based on hearing and chanting.
Any person, whatever his social status, becomes famous in a short time if a daily newspaper sings his praises, whether these praises are false or true.
Sometimes advertisements of political leaders of a particular party are published in newspapers and by such method of praising, even an insignificant person becomes important in a twinkling of an eye. But such false propaganda by an unworthy person is neither beneficial to the person nor to the society.
Such propaganda may have a momentary reaction but it has no permanent effect. Therefore such activities are a waste of time. We should praise the Supreme Personality of Godhead who has created everything that appears before us.
The tendency to praise other persons or hear about other persons should be turned towards the real object of praise, the Supreme Lord. This will lead to happiness.
The lesson we learn from this verse of Shrimadbhagwatam is that we should concentrate and do more and more listening, chanting, remembering and worshipping the Lord, so that our love for the Lord becomes more intense and we come completely under the protection of the Lord. We should not waste our precious time by falsely praising people here and there. By singing, listening, remembering and chanting the praises of our Purna Purushottam Bhagwan, we will come completely under the protection of the Lord and when we are under the protection of the Lord, we will not have any kind of fear, that is, the Lord will always protect us, because the Lord is the protector of His devotees.
