    From the scriptures we understand that the Lord’s form is full of effulgence and His nails radiate great effulgence. In our case, our toe nails are by nature not effulgent.

    In the association (of devotees) we are enthused. On our own we lose the enthusiasm. So sometime we have to come together. Man is the special animal in human being. We have to socialize and we have to socialize in this way (sankirtan). Otherwise ordinary people also they hanker after socialization.
