Who · Vyāsadeva and Nārada
The story · Vyāsadeva saw the difficulties arising through the influence of time and divided the Vedas into four divisions. Although he worked for the welfare of all people, he still felt incomplete. He asked Nārada to explain the root of his dissatisfaction. Nārada told him that he had broadly described religious principles but had not described the glories of the Supreme Personality, Vāsudeva. He urged Vyāsadeva to meditate on the Lord’s pastimes for the liberation of people from material bondage.
What it teaches · The Lord’s glories are essential, not merely the performance of ordinary duties. Nārada teaches that even immature devotional service is not unsuccessful.
