The material world is nothing but forgetfulness of the original Supreme Personality of Godhead, the creator of everything.
-Shrimad Bhagvatam Canto 4 Chapter 24 Verse 63, Translation and Purport

नष्टप्रायेष्वभद्रेषु नित्यं भागवतसेवया ।
भगवत्युत्तमश्लोके भक्तिर्भवति नैष्ठिकी ॥ १८ ॥
By regular attendance in classes on the Bhāgavatam and by rendering of service to the pure devotee, all that is troublesome to the heart is almost completely destroyed, and loving service unto the Personality of Godhead, who is praised with transcendental songs, is established as an irrevocable fact.
-Shrimad Bhagvatam Canto 1 Chapter 2 Verse 18
