श्रीभगवानुवाच
किं वृथा क्लिश्यसे तात घोरेण तपसा कलौ |
दुःखाक्रान्तं जगत्पश्य कलिकल्मषपीडितम् ||
कलिं नाशयितुं लोके तपसा नैव शक्नुयाः |
मन्नियोगादयं लोकं सर्वत्र व्याप्य तिष्ठति ||
कलेर्दोषनिधेर्ब्रह्मह्यन्नस्ति ह्येको महान् गुणः |
कीर्तनादेव मे सत्यं मुक्तदोषः परम् व्रजेत् ||
कुरु कारय लोकेस्मिन् नामसङ्कीर्तनं मम |
तत्प्रभावेणैव सत्यं सर्वं दुःखं विनश्यति ||
वर्तते फल्गुबुद्धिस्तु यावन्मन्नामकीर्तने |
तावत्कलिकृतं दुःखं विविधं नैव नश्यति ||
Shri Bhagavan said
My child! Why do you unnecessarily torture yourself, doing such severe penance in this Kaliyuga? Look at this miserable world afflicted by Kali. The evils of Kali cannot be controlled by penance. Only taking My command this Kali is enveloping this entire world. In this Kali, amidst all these evils, there is a great blessing. It is an unquestionable truth that one can get rid of all these evils and attain salvation only with the help of Nama Sankirtan. On this earth you chant My Divine Name incessantly. And make others also do the same thing. It is an undefeatable truth that all miseries will come to an end because of the power of Nama Sankirtan. The miseries of Kali will not get eradicated as long as the world does not develop faith in the power of Nama Sankirtan.
