PURPORT
The process of devotional activities from beginning to the stage of transcendence all are duly explained to satisfy the enquiries of Vyasdeva. He has explained how the seeds of devotional service was sown by transcendental association, how it gradually developed by hearing the sages and the result of such hearing is detachment from worldlyness so much even a small boy could receive the death news of his mother, who was the only care taker, as blessings of God. And at once he took the opportunity of searching out the Lord. A sincere urge for having an interview of the Lord was also granted to Him although it is not possible for anyone to see the Lord with the mundane eyes. He also explained how by execution of pure transcendental service one can get rid of fruitive action of accumulated work and how He transformed His material body into spiritual one. The spiritual body is alone able to enter into the spiritual realm of the Lord and nobody except a pure devotee is eligible to enter into the Kingdom of God. All the mysteries of transcendental realisalion are duly experienced by Narada Muni Himself and therefore by hearing such authority one can have some idea of the result of devotional life which is hardly available even in the original text of the Vedas. In the Vedas and Upanishad there is only indirect hints to all these informations. Nothing is directly explained there and therefore Srimad Bhagwatam is the mature fruit of all the Vedic trees of literatures.
