Guest guest Posted October 12, 1999 Report Share Posted October 12, 1999 > How > can Narada chastise Visnu-tattva? How can Visnu-tattva feel dejected? Lord Rama also *appeared* dejected during his lila. So it's not a rule that Vishnu-tattva cannot feel dejected, even if they want to. In other words, they can feel/appear whatever they want, because are not acting under the mode of material nature. It's Their lila. ys, bb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As such, this "dejection" must also be "lila", as was in the case of Arjuna when he lost his composure before the battle of Kuruksetra, and that dejection was so Krishna could speak Bhagavad-gita. ys KKdas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously it is not maya, but it is a question of increasing levels of realization. It is said that he composed the Bhagavatam in his most mature stage of realization. That means it was a question of maturing even for Srila Vyasadeva. And he was able to reach this mature stage of realization after the powerful & specific instructions he received from Narada Muni, his guru. Ofcourse ultimately everything is lila!
