Chapter – 363 – The legend
of Lord Krishna - 211
Shuka Bhramam speaks “ Oh!
Rajan, the precious yellow metal is used for creating stunning ornaments,
likewise, the presence of Adhokshaja as the supreme soul in living beings makes
us to narrate the diverse nature of Prakrithi, all that we have seen and heard
could be expressed in words. Oh! Rajan, all that you are witnessing is the
Supreme Lord who resides as a soul in living beings/Anthar Narayana Bahir
Sthitha:/all-pervasive nature of him, the thoughts that has the nature of
Thrigunas forms the habits in the individuals, ultimately it
causes actions. Oh! Rajan, The brilliant
rays of Sun evaporates the ocean water and forms rain clouds, eventually get it
covered in the clouds, similarly, the thoughts like rain clouds formed in the mind of Jeeva, creates an obstacle to witnessing the brilliance of Sun-like supreme
soul in it, whoever does not understand the presence of the supreme soul which is
source of the functioning of the mind, intellect, Panchaprana, Gnana, and Karmendhriyas,
would hurl themselves into the cycles of repeated birth. Oh! Rajan, rain clouds like thoughts
formed in the mind would disappear with the constant contemplation of supreme
Lord and wisdom, as the brilliance of
the sun rays remove the rain clouds, therefore the redundant thoughts like
rain clouds can be get destroyed with the curiosity to learn and meditation
ONLY. Oh! Rajan, the more you meditate
upon the supreme Lord Acchyutha, who is beyond comparison, has all-pervasive
nature, and omnipresent, he is the source of the functioning of mind and
intellect/thoughts, you can slice off the swollen pride/Ahamkara/impurities,
with the sharp sword of wisdom, gradually the interest in worldly matters and
bondages will get destroyed like the ripened fruits get separated from its
branches. Once the Jeeva gets
completely freed material matters and bondage, with the constant meditation and
supreme wisdom is the superior state called Athyanthika Pralaya/Bhrama
Pralaya. Oh! Rajan, keep listening to
the glorious myths of the supreme Lord, meditate upon him and his various
passionate sports, it would relieve you from the miseries and sorrows of
worldly existence. Maharishi Narada learned these marvelous legends from Nara
Narayana Rishi, later it was narrated to Maharishi Vedavyasa who retold the
glorious scripture to me.”
