Transcript of a multi-speaker class on Śrīmad Bhāgavatam (Canto 11, Chapter 3, Verse 22). The speakers read and paraphrase the verse, emphasizing the role of a bona fide spiritual master as 'life and soul' of the disciple and the supreme Lord's inclination to grant Himself to pure devotees. Commentary cites Sridhara Swami and Rupa Goswami, illustrates with Bali Maharaj and Lord Rama, and lists four preliminary requisites for devotional advancement (taking shelter of the guru, initiation, learning devotional service, obeying guru's orders). The talk stresses hearing the Bhagavatam from an authorized spiritual master and that receptive hearing kindles love of God.
