Narada said,...... Oh pious sage, you are the most knowledgeable, produced the illuminated Bhagabata, you produced the sacred Mahabharata which contains the gist of four Vedas, your mind is always set upon the Brahma, but still your mind seems to be very disturbed. What could be the reason?
Byaashadeba said.........
Tumbhe kahila muni jete mora abhyaasha bahu mate
beda puraana artha jete mu sarba sampaadili chitte
tathaapi aatmaa tosha nohe stira na rahe mana dehe
tumbhe je brahmaanka nandana bhale jaanila mora mana.........
Oh Pious Sage, whatever you told about me is very true. I cultured the four Vedas, and all the Purans. I kept the knowledge thereby in my heart. But still my soul is unsatisfied. My mind is not calm. Who can make this unsteady mind calm than Gobinda (Krisn)...? I realise, due to deficiency in devotion to krisn my mind is in such state.
Oh Son of Brahma, you are very nearer to the Krishn. Since your knowledge is unfathomable, you know all hidden truths in as much as you have worshiped the most ancient existence(God), who is the ruler of both Prakriti and Purusa and who by his very thought creates, sustains and reabsorbs the universe with the help of the three gunas, though remaining unattached to the same. As air travels inside and outside all the creatures; as soul travels everywhere it wishes, you travel trilokas (swarga, martya, paataala) as per your wish as the Sun God does. You are lucky enough to take your bath with the sacred water fallen from Vishnu's lotus feet. So who besides thou can describe his glory to make my disturbed mind serene?........................
Narada Said Thus................
Oh saint.......You are right. Since you did not feel the glory of Krishn in your heart, even though you mastered all the knowledge of humanity like righteousness and philosophy, your mind is not calm. So do listen to the glory of the supreme God........
je dharme krushna tosha naahi, se dharma nisphala atai
dharma sampada kaama arthe jete kahila beda pathe
jebe gobinda guna graama abhyaasha thaantaa kichi shrama
tebe ki mana asantosha kahibi shuna upadesha..............
All the righteousness (Dharma) are futile if there is no devotion towards God almighty. Otherwise there will be a sense of ego which is the hindrance on every track of success and realisation. If man begins to think he has done, he has archived so and so, this makes him feel proud of himself and ends in over estimating himself in this process. This over estimation invites other negative forces like greed, lust, hatred, cruelty and pushes him towards the path of darkness and failure. Work with devotion for the supreme in mind of course will make the man selfless/unselfish, calm and successful in the true sense of the term. What ever a man acquires righteousness(Dharma), Wealth(Artha), Passion (Kaama) in life time, if mind is not devoted to the God can never get peace and tranquility.
Speech, which though full of sweet expressions, if never utters the glories of Sri Hari is considered to be kaaka baani or voice of crows that feed upon the dirty leavings of food. That is like the tirth (sacred water) inside which the name of krishna is not recited. The wise men, similar to the Swans, that are traditionally believed to have their adobe in the lotus beds of Manasarovar, never takes delight in such Speech or bathing in such Tirtha. On the other hand, that composition which, though faulty in diction, consists of verses each of which contains the names of the immortal Lord, bearing the impress of his glory, wipes out the sins of the people like the holy water.
Even the wisdom that is free from blemish and is a direct means to the attainment of liberation does not adorn one’s soul so much, if it is devoid of devotion to God. How then can action with an interested motive, which is rooted in sorrow at every stage and even disinterested action that has not been dedicated to God serve to heighten one’s glory. Therefore with a concentrated mind now recall the exploits of Sri Vishnu, who wields unthinkable power, with a view to the liberation of the entire humanity.

If heart and mind of a person remains in that acquire (possession) which is not acquired by anybody (mortal) and that wealth which is the greatest wealth in the world, will be called as wise in this universe. The greatest wealth is neither any riches nor fame. It is righteousness. The greatest acquire is none other than salvation which is least desired by most of the creatures bounded by the effects of trigunas(Satwa, Raja and Tama). In this mortal earth, in the flux of time souls wander from one body to another, due to the effects of their past deeds. Good deeds in the past life comes as happiness in the present life which is also an opportunity to make a soul forget the path of righteousness; thus accumulates sins and misery for future life. Wanting happiness and pleasure of senses makes a soul slave of his deeds (karma). He who takes an easy going life without least effort for salvation in his present life wanders in the skewed path of ups and downs in several births.
only that being who constantly keeps his mind and heart on the lotus feet of the supreme, does not wander wildly. He who is able to offer all his deeds before the God remains serene in body and mind...........
This universe is non other than the Lord, who is yet apart from it, being responsible for the continuance, destruction and coming into being of the world. You know it yourself; yet I have indicated it to you by way of a hint. O Vyasa of unfailing vision, know it for yourself that you are a ray of the highest person and that though unborn you have taken birth for the good of the world. Therefore, describe at length the exploits of the Lord for the good of those who are working under the impulse of the trigunas and lack spiritual sense in your Bhagabata.
During the previous existence, I was born as a son of a maidservant of a Brahmana. While yet a boy, I was asked to serve wandering ascetics, who wished to stop at our place during rains. Though a mere child, I was free from all childish frolics, was quiet submissive. I was engaged in all kind of services to them. With the willing consent of those Brahmanas I ate, once in twenty four hours, whatever was left in their dishes, and was therefore cleansed of all sins. Thus engaged in their service, I attained purity of mind, which conceived a liking for their religious activities. There in that society of saints, who were constantly chanting the name of Sri krishna, I began to listen and chant his glory. They blessed me the greatest and sweetest ever song of the glory of Krishna and departed. I developed an attraction for the Lord of delightful fame.Then my mind firmly got established in the Supreme. Through such a mind I began to perceive the whole of this gross and subtle world as assumed in me, the absolute through Maya. Through that wisdom, I came to know the glory of that Maya of Lord Vasudeva, the maker of this world, by knowing which, men attain his Adobe.
enu e krushnaarpita karma kale tutai bhaba bhrama
aatmaare gyaana prakaashai tritaapa maana khyaya jaai
byaadhi upuje jaara bhoge se drabye chikistschaa nalabhe
enu gobinda rasha teji jebe bishaya rase majji
se kaahin tariba sanshaare padiba ghora andhakaare
The devotion in Lord Krishn (Supreme) is the pure devotion and greatest among all forms of devotions. That devotion only can free the mind from all the bondings. That devotion can make the soul enlightened and vanishes the abominable burning of triple fire (lust, anger, hatred) upon human life. So those objects which are the cause of disease (disease of soul, body and mind) in life has no healing besides devotion towards God. He, who leaving this path is devoted towards the pleasure of senses indeed falls prey to expanded darkness...
Thus Oh enlightened saint describe the glory of Srikrishna in Bhagabata for the well being of mankind that is only the key to your peace of mind....................
