O greatly fortunate Uddhava, in the association of such saintly devotees there is constant discussion of Me, and those partaking in this chanting and hearing of My glories are certainly purified of all sins.
Purport
Even if one does not receive direct instructions from a pure devotee, simply by hearing him glorify the Supreme Personality of Godhead one can be purified of all sinful reactions caused by one’s involvement in illusion.

Translation
O greatly fortunate Uddhava! In the association of such saintly devotees there arises constant discussion of me, and those topics destroy the sins of the speaker and listener.
They speak about me only.
Personal Guidance
In saintly devotee association there is constant discussion of the Lord, and those who chant and hear are purified of all sins. The mechanism is communal and oral.
Reflection Questions
- What constant discussion of the Lord is going on in my circles?
- How could I deepen or seek it out?
