Chapter – 62 - The development of the Human race - The curse on Maharishi Narada 2

Maharishi Narada narrates to the sons of Daksha Prajapathi/Hariashwas “ Oh! Vathsa ! This mind has initiated from the supreme soul, therefore it has no beginning or end, it is vast like Universe, the supreme Lord Hari is the Purusha in the Universe, the body is Kingdom, and the supreme soul Hari is the Purusha who rules the Kingdom.  Once the vital air/Prana leaves the body it has no return back, as once the mind is attained union with the Supreme Lord it will not return to worldly existence, they are addressed as renounced soul/liberated souls.  The mind/ intellect is like a woman attired in various patterns of clothes, it has the specialty to dress up in any costume according to the situation, it is fastened with nine types of emotions.  The soul is imprisoned by the mind/intellect is like a husband enslaved by wife, people who are enslaved by the mind heave to ignorance. The birth and death, happiness and sorrows are like the river which flows forefront and backward.  All the living beings on Earth have to die.   The body and mind have to undergo the constant pull of pair of opposites like sorrow and happiness, joy and grief, excitement and worries, good and bad, etc.  The five vital elements, five Karmendhriyas, five Gnanendhriyas, and five Pranas, these twenty-five elements constitute the human body.  The intellectuals/wise/Hamsa/preceptor, who teaches the worldly bondage and methods of liberation from worldly existence is like the swan which has the capacity to separate water from the milk, in this way preceptor gives the knowledge of permanent bliss.   Therefore the mind has the capacity to get attached to the worldly matters, exactly like it has the ability to liberate from worldly existence to attain union with the Bhramam.  The wheel of  ‘Time’  keeps rotating with no pause, therefore it is called Kalachakra, all living beings are fastened under the clutches of ‘Time’, hence the body has to undergo constant transformation such as  aging and illnesses and death.”  The children of Dhakshaprajapathi after listening to the nectar-like speeches of Maharishi Narada decided to undertake Tapasya, contemplate upon supreme Lord Hari and attain the supreme Bhramam, actually, they were instructed by Dhakshaprajapathi to carry out the function of creation.  In this way, Maharishi Narada inspired all the children of Dhakshaprajapathi to undertake Tapasya and attained union with the Supreme Lord.

Dhakshaprajapathi came to know about the children who left for woods to undertake extreme penance, hence he felt humiliated by Maharishi Narada.   He was undertaking the creation of the Praja's/subjects at the order of his father Lord Bhrama, but Maharishi Narada was intervened in his creation, imparted the supreme knowledge to his children and led them for Tapasya.  Dhakshaprajapathi got enraged at the Maharishi Narada and cursed “You will not stay permanently in a place; you will keep wandering in the whole Universe.” Maharishi Narada graciously accepted the curse of Dhakshaprajapathi and begins his journey through the fourteen worlds spreading Bhakti and supreme knowledge.  Dhakshaprajapathi continued the Prajolpaththi/creation of Praja.
