The mission of Narada Muni and all genuine devotees

[Guest guest]

TRANSLATION

 

All glory and success to Srila Narada Muni because he glorifies the

activities of the Personality of Godhead, and so doing he himself takes

pleasure and also enlivens all the distressed souls of the universe.

 

PURPORT

 

Sri Narada Muni plays on his instrument to glorify the transcendental

activities of the Lord and to give relief to all miserable living entities

of the universe. No one is happy here within the universe, and what is felt

as happiness is maya's illusion. The illusory energy of the Lord is so

strong that even the hog who lives on filthy stool feels happy. No one can

be truly happy within the material world. Srila Narada Muni, in order to

enlighten the miserable inhabitants, wanders everywhere. His mission is to

get them back home, back to Godhead. That is the mission of all genuine

devotees of the Lord following the footsteps of that great sage.
