wisdom from narayan

Seeking wisdom from Sage Narayan

 

 Narad was a free and enlightened sage who learnt from lord Shiv all limbs of yoga and science of sound. Lord Brahma taught him all Vedas. Even though being so enlightened and endowed with spiritual attainments he used to feel a little restless ness within. Not able to know the cause of his restlessness he reached at mount badri and met sage Narayan.

“Omniscient Lord! I have acquired knowledge of Vedas from father Brahma and spiritual wisdom from Lord Shiva yet my mind is not at peace. I long to acquire that wisdom which could dispel the misery of old age and death permanently. Please tell me who is the ultimate cause of the entire creation? Tell me please the tale of Lord Srikrishna filled with beauty and attributes of Lord of lords.”  He said. Sage Narayan laughed and said, -“Everyone should worship Lord Srikrishna whose lotus feet are worshipped even by Ganesh, Vishnu, Shiva, Saraswati, Parvati and Lakshmi etc. This world is like an ocean; one who desires to get across this ocean should take shelter in the feet of Lord Srikrishna alone. You and I are his mere reflections. Lord Krishna creates the universe in association with his consort, -Nature. All females are reflections of nature. Nature deludes and binds all.  Lord Krishna is powerful only because of nature. Even he is unable to create anything without her. Son! Obey your father and enter into wedlock. Because a man who honours his wife with ornaments, dresses and auspices receives the blessings of Mother Nature. All women are reflections of Mother Nature. One who insults or ill-treats a woman inevitably receives the curse of Mother Nature. Mother Nature is as powerful as Lord Krishna. The goddess who rules over the life of lord Krishna is Radha. When the Supreme Being desires to create the universe, it manifests itself into two forms. The right form manifests as man and the left one as female. As the power to burn is inseparable from fire, so are male and female inseparable from each other. That is why yogis do not discriminate between man and woman. For both are reflections of the same divine light.’’ The enlightening gospel of sage Narayan appeased the restless mind of Narad and he entered into wedlock.
