Purport:
One should listen to the scriptures from a knowledgeable person, who is also a devotee of Vishnu, and clear one’s doubts, ignorance and mistakes. Listening to the scriptures will be fruitful only when done with reverence. Only a devotee of Vishnu will be able to teach in an appealing way so as to generate a feeling of reverence towards the subject matter. So, one should learn from a person who is an ardent devotee of Vishnu. If it is not possible to listen to the entire scriptures from a single person, one can learn small portions from other qualified persons and clear one’s doubts etc.
