"Every day and night we are hearing something. There is television. There is radio. There are newspapers. There are so many things to hear about. But that is not the hearing that will help us to become self-realized.You should devote your time to hearing and chanting about Vishnu, Krishna. If you simply do this then you shall become free from this material entanglement." - Srila Prabhupada
