Srimad Bhagavath Mahapuran teaches the intricate knowledge about the mind and intellect, it can either wedge on the impermanent worldly matters, material welfare, people, fame, the richness and thereby creates endless miseries and sorrows, or it can rise to the supreme level of serenity, and thereby achieve a balanced state of mind that could face any adverse situation at ease.  Most of the physical and mental ailments are caused due to the excessive attachment to worldly matters that can be get rid of by the constant practice of meditation and contemplation upon the Supreme Lord, it gives the knowledge of self/ the eternal presence of supreme soul/self-realization and the impermanent nature of body and material things, eventually it prepares the mind to consider whatever comes in life as the grace of Lord.  An imbalanced state of mind could bring constant failures, and disappointments in life, even though the person is a brilliant academic scholar or skillful in various fields. In this scripture, Maharishi Vedavyasa explains different difficult situations in the life of Krishna and the way he was handling the situation without getting overreacted. 

Shuka Bhramam speaks “ Oh! Rajan, once, Nandababa was fasting on Ekadashi day and conducted the worship of Lord, on the next day of Dwadashi he went to take a dip in the river Kalindi.  It was before the early dawn,  Nandababa took a dip in the river without the knowledge of dark hours of the night, suddenly the emissary of Varuna caught hold of Nandababa as it was an inauspicious hour to take a dip in the water.   The emissary of Varuna took Nandababa to the abode of Lord Varuna.   The cowherds cried out for Krishna and Balarama and inform the missing of Nandababa who went to take a tip in the Kalindi.  The supreme Lord Hrishikesha understood the whole scenario with his divine power.  Krishna rushed to the abode of Varuna was received with great honor and eulogized “Oh! Bhagavan, I am fortunate to attain this body, I shall prostrate before your lotus feet. I understood your glories, kindly forgive me and take your father with you.”  Thus, Krishna brought Nandababa back to Gokulam.  Nandababa was surprised to notice that the Lord Varuna prostrates before Krishna.  Once again, he recollected the splendor of his little Krishna, realized that he is not an ordinary child, he should not be considered as a son, he is above all.   He has performed various amusements that were unbelievable, in this way, they have witnessed the Sookshma form of Krishna who is absolute Bhramam, symbolizes truth, virtues, and wisdom, he is eternal, he is Bhramajyothi who illuminates the Universe and its living beings with his brilliance."
