For a long time human beings remain forgetful of God and spend their time in worldly enjoyments. Through that, however, none can realise God. But when one realises one’s mistake, one finds out the way to the attainment of God, and at that time the truly auspicious moment of life comes and presents itself.

Though Shukadeva narrated Srimad Bhagavata for the sake of Parikshit, it is a treasure belonging to each and every human being. There is no record of the number of persons who have read this great work and attained peace and blessedness. Whoever listens to the Bhagavata and sings God’s glories, become blessed, overcomes the fear of death, and becomes immortal.

In the course of conversation, one day Sri Ramakrishna had remarked: “Whether you accept Radha and Krishna, or not, please do accept their attraction for each other. Try to create that same yearning in your heart for God. Yearning is all you need in order to realise him.” The kind of intense attraction that Radha had for Krishna, which is described in the Bhagavata, make that attraction the ideal of your life. The point is we have to love God, have to taste the sweetness of God.
