Srimad-Bhagavatam
SB Preface and Introduction
The reader of the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam will be able to convert others to accepting God as a concrete principle.
SB Preface: Disparity in human society is due to lack of principles in a godless civilization. There is God, or the Almighty One, from whom everything emanates, by whom everything is maintained and in whom everything is merged to rest. Material science has tried to find the ultimate source of creation very insufficiently, but it is a fact that there is one ultimate source of everything that be. This ultimate source is explained rationally and authoritatively in the beautiful Bhāgavatam, or Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam.
