Live the Bhāgavatam · SB 1.6.11
Īśānukathā· The Lord and His devoteesKeep Moving Toward Spiritual Freedom
“After my departure, I passed through many flourishing metropolises, towns, villages, animal farms, mines, agricultural lands, valleys, flower gardens, nursery gardens and natural forests.”
What the purport teaches
- Agriculture, mining, farming and gardening continue through repeated creations. The history of the universe repeats itself practically in the same way.
- Although only a child, Śrī Nārada Muni did not become absorbed in economic development. He continually moved toward spiritual emancipation.
- Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam records the most important factors of history. Its focus directs attention toward the vital necessities of life.
