krsna-yasa sunite se krsna-sanga pai isvarera sange tara kabhu tyaga nai (143)

English translation:

(143) One who hears glorification of Kṛṣṇa directly associates with Kṛṣṇa and is never separated from Him.

Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:

By hearing glorification of Gaura-Kṛṣṇa one achieves Gaura-Kṛṣṇa’s direct association, because the topics of Kṛṣṇa and the names of Kṛṣṇa are nondifferent from Kṛṣṇa Himself. In other words, the personality of Kṛṣṇa is absolute, or nondual. There is no tinge of differentiation between Him and His names as there is in the illusory world. In the transcendental topics of Gaura there are no topics devoid of Kṛṣṇa’s glories, therefore there is no reason for one to separate gaura-līlā from kṛṣṇa-līlā.
