Genuine Bhagavata knowledge flows only between spiritually sincere guru and disciple united in devotional surrender to Krishna.Listen — Srila Prabhupada Uvaca
Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 2.3.25 — June 23, 1972, Los Angeles 720623SB-LOS ANGELES [28:09 Minutes] SB-02.03.25_720623SB-LOS ANGELES Pradyumna: Translation: "O Sūta Gosvāmī, your words are pleasing to our minds. Please therefore explain this to us as it was spoken by the great devotee Śukadeva Gosvāmī, who is very expert in transcendental knowledge, and who spoke to Mahārāja Parīkṣit upon being asked." [SB 2.3.25] Prabhupāda: Hm. So Parīkṣit Mahārāja was asking and Śukadeva Gosvāmī was replying. Both of them were fit to ask and to reply.
Bhāgavata-pradhānaḥ. Mahārāja Parīkṣit was disciple, and Śukadeva Gosvāmī was the spiritual master. If both of them become fit, are fit, then the discussion of Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam is very pleasing. The student and the master.
If the master is learned and the student is foolish, then it will be not very much pleasing. Or the master is foolish and student is also foolish, that will also not be... Both of them should be. Satāṁ prasaṅgān mama vīrya-saṁvido bhavanti hṛt-karṇa-rasāyanāḥ kathāḥ [SB 3.25.25]. Vīrya.
Vīrya means potency. Just like if a potent husband and potent wife have sex intercourse, immediately there will be pregnancy. Therefore this word is used, "potent." Formerly, this was being used. Both the husband and the wife remained potent, not impotent and sterilized.
They remained potent, voluntarily. But when they wanted to beget a child, that one sex intercourse is sufficient; there is child. Therefore it is said, satāṁ prasaṅgān mama vīrya-saṁvido bhavanti hṛt-karṇa-rasāyanāḥ kathāḥ [SB 3.25.25]. If the Bhāgavata discussion is done between the two potents, the disciple and the master, then immediately, sadyaḥ hṛdi avarudhyate, as it is said in the beginning. [aside:] Have you got Bhāgavata? The first, beginning? Sadyo hṛdy avarudhyate.
Nigama-kalpa-taror galitaṁ phalam idam [SB 1.1.3], śrīmad-bhāgavatam. Sadyo hṛdy avarudhyate, śuśrūṣubhis tat-kṣaṇāt. Śuśrūṣubhiḥ, those who are serious about understanding about the Supreme Absolute Truth, so for him, immediately God becomes entrapped within the heart. God is there, but especially... Hṛdi avarudhyate, kiṁ vā paraiḥ īś...
Avarudhyate means you capture God. If there is discussion between devotees... Tuṣyanti ca ramanti ca, in Bhagavad-gītā it is said. Tuṣyanti ca ramanti ca.
