Can you compare the spiritual means prescribed for the Kali Age with those of previous ages, as explained in Chapter 3?

Certainly. Chapter 3 provides a clear comparison of the prescribed spiritual paths across different cosmic ages. For the Kruta Age, the path was 'control of mind and senses.' This was followed by the Treta Age, which emphasized 'sacrifice,' and the Dwapara Age, which focused on 'worship.' In contrast, Chapter 3 highlights that for the current Kali Age, the 'singing the stories of the Name' is the simple and primary means for attaining the supreme goal. The text suggests that while other paths like yoga and meditation require various difficult efforts, listening to the Guru's stories is a simpler, more direct method that requires no exertion beyond focused attention, making it uniquely suited for the people of this era.
