How to see Krsna in Srimad Bhagavatam

[Guest guest]

One can certainly see directly the presence of Lord Sri Krsna in the pages

of Bhagavatam if one has heard it from a self-realized great soul like

Sukadeva Gosvami. One cannot, however, learn Bhagavatam from a bogus hired

reciter whose aim of life is to earn some money out of such recitation and

employ the earning in sex indulgence. No one can learn Srimad-Bhagavatam who

is associated with persons engaged in sex life. That is the secret of

learning Bhagavatam. Nor can one learn Bhagavatam from one who interprets

the text by his mundane scholarship. One has to learn Bhagavatam from the

representative of Sukadeva Gosvami, and no one else, if one at all wants to

see Lord Sri Krsna in the pages. That is the process, and there is no

alternative. Suta Gosvami is a bona fide representative of Sukadeva Gosvami

because he wants to present the message which he received from the great

learned brahmana. Sukadeva Gosvami presented Bhagavatam as he heard it from

his great father, and so also Suta Gosvami is presenting Bhagavatam as he

had heard it from Sukadeva Gosvami. Simple hearing is not all; one must

realize the text with proper attention. The word nivista means that Suta

Gosvami drank the juice of Bhagavatam through his ears. That is the real

process of receiving Bhagavatam. One should hear with rapt attention from

the real person, and then he can at once realize the presence of Lord Krsna

in every page. The secret of knowing Bhagavatam is mentioned here.

 

*** No one can give rapt attention who is not pure in mind. No one can be

pure in mind who is not pure in action. No one can be pure in action who is

not pure in eating, sleeping, fearing and mating. But somehow or other if

someone hears with rapt attention from the right person, at the very

beginning one can assuredly see Lord Sri Krsna in person in the pages of

Bhagavatam.***
