Qualifications and Vyasadev's Compassion

Verse 1.5.16: Two parts of this verse actually
1) What kind of person deserves to get this knowledge - Only a very expert personality, retired from the activities of material happiness, deserves to understand this knowledge of spiritual values.
2) Describe this pre-condition, giving knowledge of the transcendental activities of the Lord to the general people. That will be the greatest welfare for all living entities.

In the Bhagavad-gita it is clearly stated that out of many hundreds and thousands of men only one person deserves to enter into transcendental realization. And out of many thousands of such transcendentally realized persons, only a few can understand the theological science specifically dealing with God as a person.

Srimad Bhagavatam: reveals the most close pastimes of the Lord, for all people. Just due to compassion of Srila Vyasadev.

And the Supreme Personality of Godhead Himself came as Caitanya Mahaprabhu, to show how exactly to live by Srimad Bhagavatam and how a devotee is to behave.

Relationships are everything in the process of Krishna Consciousness. It is bi-directional.
Krishna is coming in so many ways for us to establish that relationship. He comes in the from of His Deity, the Holy Name, in the form of His pastimes through the Bhagavatam. He is waiting for us to re-establish that relationship with Him. A change in consciousness is required, to detach ourselves from Maya.
