Verse 1.6.14-15: So here, by the good fortune, Naradamuni got himself released from all attachments. He could have become a beggar that time, but because of the association of the Bhaktivedanta's, he did not do so. Instead, he traveled to the North, not attracted/affected by any material things, and finally became Naradamuni. That is the good fortune.
A mendicant is fearless, and for his subsistence he does not have any need to visit householders. When a sadhu or a sanyasi visit's a householder, it is not his need, but he goes only to enlighten the householder spiritually.
Then Naradamuni sat under the banyan tree and started meditating. He was a child that time. That's why as children, it is easy to nicely mold them spiritually.
Caitanya Mahaprabhu's instruction: stay wherever you are and continue spiritual progress from there itself, as a grhastha or as a brahmachari or as a vanprastha or as a sanyasi. If one submits to a bona fide Guru and fully follows the instructions of this spiritual master, then he has attained the goal of his life.
