Purport:

“What would one do if there is no guru around who knows the correct purport of the scriptures?

To listen to the Vedas, one needs an all-knowing Guru. In the absence of an all-knowing Guru, other texts can be listened from a Guru who has the knowledge of the correct purport of the scriptures. If both types of Guru’s are not available, then one can listen to the right scriptures from any one who has superior knowledge than oneself. Listening to someone who has inferior knowledge about scriptures than oneself is to be avoided as it would not be fruitful.
