SB Canto 1
When the hearing process is perfect and complete, the other processes become automatically perfect in their own way.
SB 1.8.36, Purport: The reason is that the first item, śravaṇa, is very important. If hearing is from the right sources, it acts very quickly. Generally people hear from unauthorized persons. Such unauthorized persons may be very learned by academic qualifications, but because they do not follow the principles of devotional service, hearing from them becomes a sheer waste of time.

When the hearing process is perfect and complete, the other processes become automatically perfect in their own way.
