1. Bhakti Adhikara is not available to those who have no sukriti. They only have the right to perform karma.

2. One who is free from sin can be determined about engaging in devotional service.  BG 7.28

3. Once the senses are purified through devotional service, the offenseless chanting of the Holy Name is possible.

4. To become free from sin one must stop committing new sins and cleanse old sins through suffering or enjoying the results and taking help from Krishna Katha to cleanse oneself of sins. Tava kathamritam... hearing Krishna Katha removes all sins... Nashtha Prayeshu...

5. Habitually performing all actions for sense enjoyment causes knowledge to be ignored and past habits (sin) to continue. Sacrifice and austerity (chanting, hearing) force the mentality to change, gradually.

6. While chanting, the whole situation of the mind is exposed. It allows us to be able to observe its madness. It is a problem solver. So give the mind the problem of rebirth - solve this - be busy in this. This is the most important problem of life - and there is a deadline. Be panicked about the deadline.
