Importance of the Speaker...

Verse 1.19.30 (Mohan Prji):

* We have been seeing the introduction of Sukadeva Goswami (SG) to all the sages.
* Maharaj Parikshit had put forth two questions: What is the duty of the person who is about to die, specifically, what is the duty of a person?
* Generally, the speaker is introduced so that the audience knows the potency of the speaker. So here too, SG is being introduced, so that we all know how valuable are the words emanating from such a speaker.
* Krishna says, when one approaches a superior authority, one has to approach with humility.
- Prabhuji, sharing his personal experience about his encounter with his Professor
- Until and unless one has humility, the knowledge cannot be digested by us.
* Here, the primary reason why Srila SG is being introduced is to give us a clear understand that he is a very very respected person. Even brahmarishi's, rajarishi's and devarsi's assembled there were giving all respects to him.
