Radhe Krishna All,
This
discourse narrates the circumstances that led to the birth of Srimad
Bhagavatam and the story of sage Narada's previous birth.
--------------------------------------
The
Vedas form the very foundation of the whole universe. Ithihaasas –
Puranas (Epic / Scriptures) are merely derivatives of the Vedas and
expound on the end purpose of
the Vedas.
The Vedas, Mahabharata, the Puranas and the
Bhrama-sutras have all been bestowed upon us by Sage Veda Vyasa. These
constitute the very bedrock of our existence. Don’t they? It is these
that address the very fundamental questions such as,
How was the world created?
Who is God?
Why has God created us?
What is our
state before and after death?
How should we live?
What constitutes a sin and what constitutes a Merit?
The
term 'Vedas' means knowledge or wisdom. The next logical question that
arises is whose wisdom are we talking about when we refer to the Vedas?
The Vedas represent God's wisdom. Man first draws up a building plan
before the actual execution of construction. Likewise, the Vedas form
the master plan drawn by the master himself before carrying out his work
of creation. Even today, the Vedic sounds reverberate in the cosmos,
The
Maharishis (Sages) have, through their divine power, grasped those
cosmic vibrations and have bestowed them as the Vedas. The great Veda
Vyasa made a compilation of all those and organized it in the current
form.
Once, Veda Vyasa experienced confusion in his mind! Isn't
this surprising? Do even realized souls like Veda Vyasa get into
confusion and distress? Just as we are unable to sleep peacefully
owning to our deep concern over various worldly matter such as son's
education, daughter's wedding, employment and financial commitments to
cite a few instances, Realized souls feel a very great mental unrest,
when they contemplate on ways to uplift Mankind who are caught in
ignorance (Maya). In spite of bestowing the Holy Scriptures, Veda Vyasa
himself felt restless.
It was at this juncture that Sage Narada
came there by chance. Veda Vyasa received the sage warmly and worshipped
him as per scriptural injunctions.
Looking at Veda Vyasa, Narada asked, "Great Sage! Why do you appear distressed? What is troubling you?".
Veda
Vyasa replied, "The thoughts of the realized souls can only be
comprehended by another, sage Narada! I beseech you, who has rightly
identified that my mind is troubled, to also explain the cause behind
it?
At once Narada said, "In the path of Karma advocated by you,
one has to follow the Scriptural
injunctions scrupulously without any compromise. Following, the path of
Karma without adhering to the Scriptural injunctions will not reap any
benefit. Likewise, the path of Raja yoga is full stringent regulations
such as control over the senses. Slightest deviation from them would
lead to mental disorders. The Vedanta marga requires dispassion
(Vairagya) of the highest order, without which one cannot attain
liberation. The scripture describe God a being fair complexioned in
Krita Yuga (the first of the four yugas where everything was perfect).
As people of that yuga (Age) were pure, they were able to perform dhyana
(One pointed meditation) as they could easily gain control over the
mind.
