Gratitude and Regretfulness

Verse 1.6.30: In today's verse, it is explaining that about Brahmaji resting in yoga-nidrä within the body of the Garbhodakashayi Vishnu. And when he wakes, all the different sages are created from the transcendental body of the Lord and Srila Naradamuni also appeared along with them, just as though he had slept and got up, with the same spiritual body.

Two important points we learn from Srimad Bhagavatam:
* In all the devotees mentioned in Srimad Bhagavatam, the expression of Gratitude is the most prominent sentiment. That everything they have is due to the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Similarly, we need to express gratitude to all our devotees, as they give us their association and also need to express gratitude to our spiritual master (as it is only because of him we are getting this chance to connect to this great parampara) and expressing gratitude to the Suprerme Personality of Godhead.
* Expression of regretfulness, when we are regretting that we are not making use of this opportunity. With this, eventually we will make use of every situation to serve the Suprerme Personality of Godhead.

In Srimad Bhagavatam, all the devotees, Drapadi, Kunti, Pandavas etc everyone expresses these two important sentiments: gratitude and regretfulness.
