The glory of Lord's story

[Guest guest]

Sri mad Bhagbatam , Book 5, Dis 6. Rsabha story, taken from 16 to 18,

 

-----a story which wipes out all the sins of men (who hear or recite it), and

is the abode of the highest blessings. Exclusive devotion to the aforesaid

Lord Vasudeva is developed in the heart of him who constantly listens to it

as well as of him who regularly recites it (before others) with (ever)

increasing reverence and with a concentrated mind. (16) Daily and incessantly

immersing their soul--(ever) burning with the agonies of mundane existence,

full of manifold sufferings--in (the stream of ) Devotion and deriving

supreme solace from it, the wise (devotees) show no preference on any account

for final beatitude, the highest and everlasting object of human pursuit,

even if got without asking (offered by the Lord Himself), having fully

realized their objects in their very devotion to the Lord.(17)

Lord Sri Krsna (the Bestower of Liberation), dear Pariksit, was surely the

protector, preceptor, deity (the object of worship), beloved friend, and head

of the family of your grandfathers as well as of the Yadus, and sometimes

(when He represented you as your ambassador in the court of the Kauravas at

Hastinapura)your servant too.

He bestows now and then (even) final beatitude (Jeevan Mukti) on those

who worship Him; but He never (except in very rare cases) grants the boon of

loving devotion (to his feet).18.
