"Now, you are mahā-bhāga. You are most fortunate man." Vyāsadeva is not ordinary. Just see. Nārada is his spiritual master. He's not ordinary man. And besides that, he is taken as incarnation of God, mahā-bhāga. Atho mahā-bhāga bhavān amogha-dṛk: "Your vision is without any sin." Because he has dedicated his life to present the Vedic literature for the benefit of the human society, that "They have forgotten God, Kṛṣṇa. Let me help." Therefore, he is trying to give all this Vedic literature.

How money can be utilized for Kṛṣṇa? How? If somebody says: "It is the same money. How, by spending it for Kṛṣṇa consciousness, it become nice?" The question may be raised, "The money is the same. How you say that when it is employed in Kṛṣṇa conscious business, it is nice, and when it is not employed, it is bad? Money is the same." The reply is there. Bhāgavata says.

What is that reply? Now, cikitsitam. The example is given: just like milk. If you take . . . milk is very nice food, but if you take more, then there will be disorder of the bowel. If you, by greediness, you take more milk, then there will be bowel complaint. Yes. Then, when there is bowel complaint, you go to physician. Then he gives you prescription, another milk preparation. What is that? Yogurt. If you say to the physician, "Well, I am suffering by taking milk preparation, and you are giving another milk preparation. How it will be cured?" No, it will be cured.

Similarly, this material world, there is different type of use. As soon as you use it for your sense gratification, you'll be affected with material disease. And if you use it for Kṛṣṇa consciousness, it will elevate you to the liberated condition. Just like the same example: in your diseased condition, if you go on again taking milk preparation as it is, then it will increase your bowel complaint, but if you take in another form, in prasādam, under the direction of the authority, then you . . . the same thing, the same enjoyment, that is, material, will elevate you to the liberated stage.

So we should employ . . . without Kṛṣṇa, either philosophy or karma or jñāna or yoga, they are useless. Nārada says that "You should write books simply describing about Acyuta, or Kṛṣṇa, the Supreme Personality of Godhead." He says:

"Now, you are mahā-bhāga. You are most fortunate man." Vyāsadeva is not ordinary. Just see. Nārada is his spiritual master. He's not ordinary man. And besides that, he is taken as incarnation of God, mahā-bhāga. Atho mahā-bhāga bhavān amogha-dṛk: "Your vision is without any sin." Because he has dedicated his life to present the Vedic literature for the benefit of the human society, that "They have forgotten God, Kṛṣṇa. Let me help." Therefore, he is trying to give all this Vedic literature.

That is the duty of all devotee, to give literature so that people may take benefit out of it. Just like about the Gosvāmīs, it is stated about the Gosvāmīs:

<div class="quote_verse">
:nānā-śāstra-vicāraṇaika-nipuṇau sad-dharma-saṁsthāpakau
:lokānāṁ hita-kāriṇau tri-bhuvane mānyau śaraṇyākarau
:vande rūpa-sanātanau raghu-yugau srī-jīva-gopālakau 
:(Śrī Ṣaḍ Gosvāmy Aṣṭaka 2)
</div>

The six Gosvāmīs, they engaged themselves in literary work. Nānā-śāstra-vicāraṇaika. They are . . . you'll find in Rūpa Gosvāmī's books, oh, how many references are there, from Purāṇas, from Vedas, from this literature, that literature. Highly, great scholars. So that is one of the duty. We have given the list of qualification of a devotee. One of the qualification is poetic. Poetic means not write poetry; poetic means literary man. They must give literature. Naturally they'll give. That is the nature of devotee. Because without literature, how can we enlighten the people at large?
