Verse 1.7.1-2: Here, in Chapter 7, Saunaka risi is asking Suta Goswami as to what Srila Vyasadev did after Naradamuni left. Srimad Bhagavatam is telling that Vyasadeva will come to know of the next thing, in meditation.
In the next verse, Srila Prabhupada is commenting that wherever you are, we should have an asrama, a spiritual home. Varanasrama dharma was designed as a means to realize the Supreme Truth. Brahmanas, Ksatriyas, Vyasas and Sudras, along with Brahmachary, Grhasthas, Vanaprastha and Sanyasa. Home is for progression of the whole family together towards self-realization. Our goal of life should be Krishna. Before our life-span ends, we should realize Krishna. We should not be complacement with the facilities that we have, we should utilize them to attain our goal.
Here Srila Vyasadev is a grhastha, yet his residential place is called a asrama. This is so because an asrama is a place where spiritual culture is always foremost.
