If one diminishes in some way the necessity of hearing or becomes illusioned into thinking that there are higher priorities than hearing, or if one simply goes on in forgetfulness expecting that he’ll always be strong in spiritual life, the result of that neglect will be that he will not feel that happiness. One will be filled with lamentation and will be fearful about every decision one has to make in his life. That’s the consequence of not hearing transcendental sound vibration.
