There is a story, it is very instructive story, that Nārada Muni was passing to go to Vaikuṇṭha, and on the way one very learned scholar, brāhmin, met him, and he inquired from Narada Muni where he was going. Nārada Muni said that, "I am going to see Nārāyaṇa, my Lord." So the brāhmin asked him, "Oh, you are going to meet Nārāyaṇa. Will you kindly inquire for me when my . . . when I shall be liberated," Nārada Muni said: "Yes, I shall inquire.".

We can appreciate the potencies, the energies of the Supreme Lord, anywhere. As I explained yesterday, the potency is there in the seed. As Kṛṣṇa says, bījo 'haṁ sarva-bhūtānām (BG 7.10).

There is a story, it is very instructive story, that Nārada Muni was passing to go to Vaikuṇṭha, and on the way one very learned scholar, brāhmin, met him, and he inquired from Narada Muni where he was going. Nārada Muni said that, "I am going to see Nārāyaṇa, my Lord." So the brāhmin asked him, "Oh, you are going to meet Nārāyaṇa. Will you kindly inquire for me when my . . . when I shall be liberated," Nārada Muni said: "Yes, I shall inquire."

Similarly, on the way, he met one cobbler. He also inquired Nārada Muni where he was going, and he said, will you kindly inquire from Lord Nārāyaṇa when he would be liberated? So when Nārada Muni met Nārāyaṇa, so he inquired—because he's saintly person, he promised—that "Such-and-such brāhmin inquired like this, and the . . . and a cobbler also inquired like this." So Nārāyaṇa said: "The . . . this cobbler will be liberated in this life, and that brāhmin will take some time, some many births."
