By imbibing the teachings of the Bhagavatham (epic containing the stories of the Lord), your Tamo guna (quality of inertia) will be raised into Rajo guna (quality of incessant activity) and purified into Sathwa guna (quality of poise and serenity). It is like the fruit growing by the combined influence of the earth and sun, first into full sourness, then to partial sweetness and finally complete sweetness, in three gradual stages. Man too by the twin forces of the divine grace from without and the yearning from within, grows into complete sweetness of Ananda and Prema (love).
