SB 2.7.5 (M Prji):
* We have entered a new and important topic about the Supreme Lord
* The sages of Naimisharanya had asked questions to Suta Goswami and he was answering them
- That Mahraj Parikshit had put forward a question as to what is the prime duty of a person leaving his body. To that Sukadeva Goswami answered that one has to meditate on the SPG. Then how to meditate on the Lord, he explained the universal form, personal features of the Lord. Then he tells that Brahmaji was also asked the same question by Naradamuni. So Brahmaji is answering these questions. He goes on explain the incarnations of the Lord
* At the end of the previous chapter, SP gives a very nice purport
- The power of the Lord in terms of creation and how He maintains everything due to His energies, is the first aspect
- Second aspect is the pastimes of the Lord
- This second aspect is more important
* So, in this chapter, this second aspect is being highlighted
* In here, the Lord is coming in different incarnations to save the condition of living entities, destroying the miscreants
* So this material world is basically a correctional center, for living entities to realize their connection to the SPG
* The prime reason is for transformation of the heart of the living entity and go back to the SPG, for which this world is made
* In this connection, a verse from NOI is apt here: 6 things needed for progress of devotional service. Enthusiasm is one of these 6 important qualities
- Everyone is enthusiastic for something. Karmi, it is fruitive activities, sense enjoyment. For gyani, rejecting everything is happiness. But for a devotee, enthusiasm is cultivation of loving relationships with the Lord and the Lord's devotees
* In BG, the Lord says: ye yatha maam prapadyante..
- so how one approaches the Lord, He reciprocates accordingly
* One has to perform DS to the Lord, just to please the Lord
* DS is nothing but sravanam, kirtanam....atma nivedanam, 9 processes
* Then endeavoring with confidence. The opposite of confidence is doubt. So don't have doubt in the process of KC
* SP is saying that: one should get rid of all these doubts. Service to the Supreme Lord is the goal of our life. One can gain this confidence only through regular association of devotees
* Reading these different incarnations of the Lord, will strengthen our faith in the Supreme Lord. He will always protect us
* If one enthusiastically performs his DS, for him going back to Godhead is guaranteed!
