A Summary of the Srimad Bhagavata Mahapuranam-4.23.


14/02/2017.

4: The Stories of Siva and Sati, and of Rishabhadeva and Bharata-23.

Then the great discourse of Bharata is narrated in the beautiful language of the Srimad Bhagavata Mahapurana.

The whole world is compared to a forest, where animals like human beings are moving in search of their grub.

This is a wild jungle.

This entire world is compared to a forest where we can find anything anywhere, and also nothing anywhere.

Ignorant, animal-like individuals lose their sense of propriety and do not want to know what the purpose of their existence actually is.

They move in this forest like prowling tigers, like predators.

This is to be properly understood.

Do we think that the world is a pleasure garden?

It is no such thing.

It is full of thorns, a jungle which is to be feared.

It is better that we get free of this jungle as early as possible.
