Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:
Those who know that recitation of Śrīmad Bhāgavatam is a direct form of the Supreme Lord, those who do not consider Śrīmad Bhāgavatam mundane, and those who regulate their material intelligence by the teachings of Śrīmad Bhāgavatam can understand that worship of the Supreme Lord is the essence of everything and the ultimate goal of life taught by Śrīmad Bhāgavatam.
