Poṣaṇa· The Lord's protectionDevotional Service Opens the Spiritual Kingdom
“Since then, by the grace of the almighty Viṣṇu, I travel everywhere without restriction both in the transcendental world and in the three divisions of the material world. This is because I am fixed in unbroken devotional service of the Lord.”
What the purport teaches
- By the grace of almighty Viṣṇu, Nārada travels without restriction in both the material and spiritual worlds. He is fixed in unbroken devotional service.
- Living beings in the material world are influenced by goodness, passion and ignorance. Nārada is transcendental to these modes, and the Lord’s causeless mercy protects His devotees from falling down.
- Nārada Muni is the prime authority for transcendental devotional service. Devotees who follow his footsteps are qualified to enter Vaikuṇṭha, the kingdom of God.
