228 Srimad-Bhagavatam [Canto 1, Ch. 5
PURPORT
A person who is cent percent engaged in the service of the Lord is the
emblem of all knowledge. Such a devotee of the Lord in full perfection of
devotional service is also perfect by the qualification of the Personality of
Godhead. As such, the eightfold perfections of mystic power (asta-siddhi)
constitute very little of his godly opulence. A devotee like Narada can act
wonderfully by his spiritual perfection, which every individual is trying
to attain. Srila Narada is a cent percent perfect living being, although
not equal to the Personality of Godhead.

TRANSLATION
Like the sun, your goodness can travel everywhere in the three
worlds, and like the air you can penetrate the internal region of everyone.
As such, you are as good as the all-pervasive Supersoul. Please, therefore,
find out the deficiency in me, despite my being absorbed in transcendence
under disciplinary regulations and vows.
