Reciting verses for purification is only a partial realization.
Ultimately, reciting verses from scriptures is to enhance the mood of the Lord, for His pleasure as we see in the pastimes of Lord Chaitanya. If we want to truly understand the Lord we can gain the topmost understanding of the Lord through studying the pastimes of Sri Krishna Chaitanya.
That is the perfection of study.
By such study we revive our awareness of the ever present Personality of Godhead even while in this temporary material arrangement for activity.
Such awareness reinforced by hearing and discussing the Lord in the association of sincere devotees who are not approaching the Lord for anything other than to perceive His form of bliss, opens the door to Love of God and the passage back to Godhead.
Hearing and chanting like this is the single-most, topmost, highest, most confidential act of devotion for the conditioned soul, in that whatever material conditioning may be there becomes completely dissolved. All other practices aim to bring one to this point.
Relishing the past-times of the Lord.
Lord Chaitanya's sankirtan movement is meant for these purposes.
