PURPORT:
In this material world to find pure devotee of Lord is very difficult. Every one searching to see one pure devotee. But still the search is continuing era after era. This search already started when this universe is created and still the same search is continuing after billions of years past. But no one is still satisfied by finding such pure devotee till today? Why that is happening? Why no one can find such pure devotee? That question is asked to Narada by supreme Lord Narahari. Narada said, O my dear supreme personality of Godhead, this universe is manifested with many pure devotees of Lord. They are thousands in numbers and in thousands different bodily existence. But it is very difficult to identify them even by most wise like me. Then Lord asked why is so? Narada said though they are many but their only goal is to touch the supreme purity of Lord Himself. Though they are all pure gold but still they trying to achieve the purity of supreme personality of Lord Himself. But how is it possible that these thousands different manifestations can find supreme purity within one? If it is so, all these thousands need to become only one that is supreme personality of Godhead Hari. But since every soul is different and had its own identity and personality then it is not possible to become one what is many. That's why every one is searching for the supreme one but could not find one such. Then Lord Narahari smiled and said. O Narada, your answer is very correct. Though they are all pure devotees but still they are searching one supreme purity. But look at me. Though I am knower of everyone but still I feel pity for all of them. Simply because they are unaware about me. Just as you addressed me as Supreme personality of Godhead Narahari but how come you address me in such name without knowing me so? Then Narada said, O my dear Lord. I know you because you revealed me within my heart. I had seen my past and future of mine within you. But seeing other pure devotees of yours I also feel always pity for them. Simply because though they are searching supreme personality of Godhead but still they could not become successful in their search. That is only because you could not bestow your mercy to them as you did for me. Then Lord Narahari said, Narada I can see your wisdom. I revealed you because you are my supreme devotee. You always chant my holy name and glorify me every where. You always distribute Hari Nam whole heartedly to every one through out this universe. Your only goal is to glorify me without any material desire. That's why I always see you as my supreme devotee. But how many can give such devotional services like you do? Though they are all pure in heart and searching for the supreme purity but still they could not achieve your purity of selfless services towards me. That's why you are only supreme pure devotee among all so called pure devotees. If one follows your footsteps with complete perfection then I will definitely seat on heart and reveal me. Otherwise this search will continue forever like this for time immemorial and that still continuing. Listening that Narada said, O my dear supreme personality of Godhead Narahari, since you revealed me this truth in my heart please stay in my heart forever such that I can distribute your holy name in Kali Yug to every pure devotees of Lord. Please never leave me in this era of Kali when everybody is suffering in material world. Please show your mercy to me always such that through out universe I can travel and distribute your holy name chanting Hari Nam. Saying this Narada offers obeisances to the lotus feet of supreme personality of Godhead Narahari and left for distributing Hari Nam through out universe in this age of Kali. All glory to Narada! All glory to Supreme personality of Godhead Narahari! All glory to Mohaprbahu! All glory to Prabhupada! All glory to Pancha Tattva! All glory to associates Vaisnavas! Hare Krsna! Haribol!
