Willingness to Follow Requires Concrete Action
“The hunter then said, ‘My dear sir, whatever you say I shall do.’
What the purport teaches
- The hunter tells Nārada Muni that he will do whatever Nārada says. He expresses readiness to accept instruction.
- Nārada immediately tells him to break his bow. The first instruction requires a concrete action.
- Nārada says that he will explain what to do next after the bow is broken. The hunter must act on the first instruction before receiving the next.
