Adi-lila, Chapter 7 75
Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura advises that one discuss the verse in Srimad-
Bhagavatam, naitat samdacarej jatu manasapi hy anisvarah (10.33.31), and the follow-
ing verse in Bhakti-rasdmrta-sindhu:
anasaktasya visayan yatharham upayufijatah
nirbandhah krsna-sambandhe yuktam vairagyam ucyate
(B.r.s. 1.2.255)
One should not imitate the activities of great personalities. One should be detached
from material enjoyment and should accept everything in connection with Krsna’s
service.

TRANSLATION
“Saying this, My spiritual master taught Me one verse from Srimad-Bhagavatam.
It is the essence of all the Bhagavatam’s instructions; therefore he instructed Me this
verse again and again.
PURPORT
This verse from Srimad-Bhagavatam (11.2.40) was spoken by Sri Narada Muni
to Vasudeva to teach him about Bhagavata-dharma. Vasudeva had already achieved
the result of Bhagavata-dharma because Lord Krsna appeared in his house as his son,
yet in order to teach others, he desired to hear from Sri Narada Muni to be en-
lightened in the process of Bhagavata-dharma. This is the humbleness of a great
devotee.
