Chapter-6-The story of Narada

When the sages left the place Narada lived with his mother who had great attachment for him as she had no one else in the world.Once a snake bit her and she died.Narada took it as the will of God who always does what is good for the devotee and started towards north and reaching a forest uninhabited by humans sat in meditation under a tree. Lord appeared in his mind slowly which made him experience the bliss  with tears flowing from his eyes when the form of Lord Hari disappeared. On regaining his consciousness of the world, he felt unhappy in not able to see the form of the Lord anymore. He tried to go into dhyana again but could not succeed.Then he heard the voice of the Lord, gambhera ,resonant and SlakshNa, pleasant and nice saying, "You cannot see Me in this birth because I do not appear to those whoare not attained a maturity in yoga and not free from karmavasana.I showed it once to inducein you the  longing for  Me as the one who turns his desire towards Me gets rid of all the other desires." Further The voice said that Narada has already turned his thoughts on the Lord  as the result of the service to the  sages eventhough it was for a short time and reassured him that he will become  a pArishadha of the Lord (like Garuda and Anantha) and will have steady devotion which will not change even during creation and dissolution..

Narada spent the rest of his life singing the praise of the Lord and thinking about Him ,waiting for the end of his life. When the time came for him to attain a divine body of a pArishadha of Bhagavan the physical body made up of the five elements came to an end. At the end of the kalpa when Brahma entered into Lord Narayana,  Narada also entered in the breath of Brahma.

when Brahma started the creation after 1000 chathuryugas Narada was born as the mAnasaputhra of Brahma along with Marici and others.He  became a thriloka sancharee, able to go to any place at will in all the three worlds through the grace of the Lord, singing His glory, playing the veena given to him by the Lord Himself.The Lord,  he said , appeared in his heart the moment he was called ' Ahooya iva mE Seeghram dharsSanam yAthi chEthasi.'

Narada told Vyasa that the doings of the Lord, Harileela, is like a boat to cross over the sea of samsara and the mind never gets peace by any other means as by the service of the Lord.After clearing the doubt in the mind of vyasa ,Narada went his way singing the names of the Lord.
