Suta Muni was a sage of high accord. He was believed to be a son of a priest called Romaharshana. SutaMuni was believed to have such power that he could remember what ever was recited before him at once. This is how he remembered the whole Bhagabata and described to the sages including Saunaka gatherd for a great sacrifice (Yagan) completed in the advent of Kali yuga in naimeshyaranya.
Dwitiya Adhyaaya (reply of sutamuni)
When the Sage Dwaipayana (Vedavyasa) saw his son, Sukadeva going away all alone with the intention of leading the life of a recluse, even the great sage Vedavyasa was agitated at the thought of separation from his son and called out “Oh, My son”. At that time it was the trees that responded on his behalf, filled as they were by his presence. I bow to that sage, who has the access to the hearts of all.
Srimad Bhagavata is a mysterious Purana. It possesses a glory of its own and constitutes the very essence of the Vedas. It is a unique light illuminating the Spiritual Realities for those worldly men who seek to go beyond the darkness of ignorance. It was out of compassion for such men, that teacher of sages, Sukadeva, uttered this Purana. I take refuge in that son of Vyasa. After bowing to the divine sages Narayana and Nara, the Supreme Person, Goddess Saraswati and the sage Vyasa, one should then recite Srimad Bhagavatam.
Suta muni replied..........this world is full of illusion where senses try to dominate the virtues. If a person does pure devotion his deeds will be pure. Pure deeds (work) means the work which is free from expectations. Such pure devotion can only make a life free from hindrances and troubles. Pure devotion only leads to salvation.
Meaning of pure devotion as per my knowledge
A student who studies regularly but having least concentration and devotion towards his/her work, can never secure very good marks in exam, whereas an easy going fellow who enjoys most of the time but studies few days before exam and miraculously secures very good marks at which we amaze. Is not it? It is his/her complete devotion which works for him/her in whatever limited time was available. The purest form of devotion is however, devotion towards the supreme as told in Bhagabata. The person who surrenders self before the supreme and works without any expectation succeeds in each and every facets of life.
Devotion however is required everywhere in human life. A disciples needs to be devoted before his Teacher and need to be very much obedient to acquire knowledge from him. Employees should be devoted to their profession, children should be devoted to their parents and parents in turn should be devoted towards their duties for their children. Husband and wife both should be devoted towards each other for a happy married life.....The countries where the chiefs are devoted are more successful than those where they prove to be slack. Devotion is the key. If the citizens are laborious, industrious and devoted the country will like an icon in the world scenario.............
Every action should be selfless...... If you are going to earn bread for yourself and for your family, it should also be in a selfless manner. When you will completely be lost in work, the thought of getting rewarded evaporates from your mind even though your initial action was pushed by expectations. This mindful action is only selfless action. If thought of interests always be in your mind, your work won't be up to the mark.
kehu kahanti brahma tatwa ke abaa bole paramaartha
kehu bolanti bhagabaana nirmala rasha gopya gyaana
se bole shraddhaa je karanti gyaana bairaagya aacharanti

The purest devotion is devotion towards the supreme Krishn. who is the supreme truth whom people can't see or feel due to ignorance. Those who see himself as a soul and other humans including flora fauna and birds as souls, and devote himself towards the Godhead gets mukti or salvation. In this mortal world people of four verna as told in bhagabata viz. Brahmana, khyatriya, baishya and sudra should do their respective duties with optimum interest and with selflessness. But their mind should be faultless for having a pure living. The faultless mind only comes through Bhakti or devotion and the purest form of devotion for the people in different vernas is devotion towards krisn. Then only the gunas (raja and tama) will be under control and the satwa guna which is the best among them will motivate the mind towards transformation.

The universe exists within the supreme God, who is devoid of natural senses, yet he has adopted natural senses of Maya at the beginning of creation of universe. Prakruti (nature) is a simple desire of the supreme. The nature is controlled by trigunas satwa, raja and tama. Satwa, Raja and Tama gunas meant for srusti (creation), sthiti (existence) and pralaya (destruction). During creation he is Brahma , during sthiti or existence he is Vishnu and during Pralaya or destruction he is Shiva. Krishn is embodiment of Pure Virtues (Satwa).
Those who make their action pure and mind ascending through the path of devotion, no hindrances can touch their lives. They get the pure knowledge and get freedom from the process of birth and rebirth.
Trigunas
Trigunas in nature........
The whole creation is result of trigunas and a state of their equilibrium. The entire Cosmos, consisting of living and inanimate objects, is based upon the three gunas. Man should strive to understand the principle that transcends the three gunas. Prakruti is called so because it is nothing but the combination of three “Guna”s or three natures. The meaning of prakruti is also Guna or nature. The primary quality of Prakriti (Nature) is Satwa. Prakriti is called "Stri", made up of the three syllables Sa, Ta and Ra. The significance of this term is: First of all, "Sa" implies that you have to take in what is Satwa. Stwa is modest form of nature. It comes in the form of light breeze of air, early morning sun rays and all the beautiful parts of nature. So why it is said to practice satwika actions like meditation, chanting etc during early morning and in the evening when the nature itself remains in satwika form. Secondly, 'ra' means to nurture. Raja guna comes in the form of power, good monsoon, good weather etc. which is the symbol of prosperity. The day time is the symbol of Rajasa in nature itself. Finally 'ta' means to renounce, it comes in the form of extreme form of nature as flood, cyclone, famine etc. Night is the symbol of Tamasa . The food we eat can also be categorised to satwika, rajasika and tamasika. witch affects the thought process cosequencely.

Trigunas in Humans
In the cosmic process, it is the Satwic quality (the "Sa" kara) that comes first. Hence it is the duty of every man to develop the Satwic quality in every respect in thoughts, actions and attitudes. Satwa, characterised by lightness, consciousness, pleasure and clarity of mind, is pure and free from disease and cannot be disturbed in any way. It activates the senses and is responsible for the perception of knowledge. Rajas, the most active of the gunas, has motion and stimulation as its characteristics. All desires, wishes, ambitions and fickle-mindedness are a result of the same. While Tamas is characterised by heaviness and resistance. It produces disturbances in the process of perception and activities of the mind. Delusion, false knowledge, laziness, apathy, sleep and drowsiness are due to it. Rajas and Tamas, as with the doshas, can be unbalanced by stress and negative desires as kama (lust), irshya (malice), moha (delusion and halucination), lobha (greed), chinta (anxiety), bhaya (fear) and krodha (anger ). Rajas should therefore be guided by Satwa gunas for peace and tranquility in life. If it is rather guided by Tamasa will lead to disturbances and deceleration of mind and ill health.
The triguns determine the components of Doshas in human bodies. The three gunas - Satwa, Rajas and Tamas - are the three essential components or energies of the mind. In ayurveda it is said the primary compoisition in the body of a satwik individual is Kapha. Pitta dominated Rajasikas, intellectually oriented but vulnerable to temptations, are very human in their character and approach to life. Vata dominated by the Tamasik person. Rajasika and Tamasika people are more vulnerable to diseases and sorrow where as Swatwik people are healthy and always contended. So all should try to bring the satwik qualities through purity of mind and devotion towards the supreme Krisn in order to have a successful living as humans.
nirmala chetaa muni jete bichaara kari aatmaa hite

e tini gune naaraayana srusti paalana sanhaarana

se hari charana pankaja sujana jana nitye bhaja
kahai dasa jagannatha gita prabandhe bhaagabata.........
sacred minded saints who remain engaged in the process of ascension of the soul get Vishnu in the form of Satwa Guna. They renounce from all the tamasic and rajasic actions as those are dangerous in consequence. The trigunas form the very base of srusti (creation), paalana (nourising), and pralaya (devastation), this is the viswarupa ( (image of universe) who is deviod of all the gunas but play with the gunas to form this universe. He remains every where through maya (illusion), he remains in every life yet unseen due to ignorance.
