Lectures and Commentaries on Srimad Bhagavatam Canto 2, made in Vrindavan (India)
The purpose of Śrīmad Bhāgavatam is to glorify the Supreme Absolute Truth, known as Śrī Kṛṣṇa, for the benefit of the suffering humanity. Śrī Vyāsa himself calls this Purāṇa the ripened fruit of the Vedic tree and compares it to the personification of rasa, or devotional relish. It is to be tasted by the rasikas, the connoisseurs of rasa, and relished by the sahṛdayas, the sober-hearted people or those whose hearts are imbued with sattva (SB 1.1.3)
Even if you practice with devotion and attachment, you don’t get bhava so easily. This is because of your unfavorable samskaras called anarthas. You have to take responsibility for and clean up your anarthas. Anarthas take your mind away from devotion.
