2.3Pure Devotional Service: The Change in HeartSB 2.3.1 — Śrī Śukadeva Gosvāmī said: Mahārāja Parīkṣit, as you have inquired from me as to the duty of the intelligent man who is on the threshold of death, so I have answered you.Slide17
One who desires a long span of life should worship the demigods known as the Aśvinī-kumāras, and a person desiring a strongly built body should worship the earth. One who desires stability in his post should worship the horizon and the earth combined.

SB 2.3.24 — Certainly that heart is st
___-fr____ which, in spite of one’s chanting the holy name of the Lord with concentration, does not change when ecstasy takes place, tears fill the eyes and the hairs stand on end.Purport: We should note with profit that in the first three chapters of the Second Canto a gradual process of development of devotional service is being presented.In the First Chapter the first step in devotional service by the process of hearing and chanting has been stressed, and a gross conception of the Personality of Godhead in His universal form for the beginners is recommended.Slide20
By such a gross conception of God through the material manifestations of His energy, one is enabled to spiritualize the mind and the senses and gradually concentrate the mind upon Lord Viṣṇu
, the Supreme, who is present as the Supersoul in every heart and in every atom of the material universe. But in the Third Chapter further development is prescribed after one has actually reached the stage of Viṣṇu worship, or pure devotional service, and the mature stage of Viṣṇu worship is suggested herein in relation to the change of heart.Slide21
Therefore real, steady
bhāva is definitely displayed in the matter:(kṣānti),(avyārtha-kālatvam),(nāma-gāne sadā ruci),
(
prītis
tad-
vasati
sthale
),
(
virakti
),
(māna-śūnyatā).One who has developed all these transcendental qualities is really possessed of the
bhāva
stage, as distinguished from the stonehearted imitator or mundane devotee.Slide22
T/F - Tears, trembling, faltering of the voice can manifest from hearing and chanting in the person of a devotee who is Nama-
aparadhi?Slide23
