Lectures and Commentaries on Srimad Bhagavatam Canto 3, 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)
The cells in the body are cooperating so this whole unit can survive. If the cells start becoming independent by fighting with each other, then you will die. That is what cancer is. In a healthy body, cells are not independent and they are surrendered to the system. The same principle is everywhere. If you want to have a nice kirtan then everybody has to sing together. This universe has a rhythm and everything has a rhythm. Jiva Gosvami is trying to bring out this rhythm. That is his purpose.
