Sri Sounaka enquired from Suta Goswami, 'Sri Sukdeva Goswami was already on the path of self-realisation and as such he was pleased with his own self. Then what was the reason that he also took the trouble of undergoing such vast literature.

For the people in general the highest perfection of life is to cease from material activities and be fixed up in the path of self realisation. Those who take pleasure in the matter of sense enjoyment or in other words those who are fixed up in the matter of material bodily welfare work are called the Karmis. Out of such thousands and crores of Karmis one may become an Atmarama by self realisation. Atma means self and rama means to take pleasure. Everyone is searching after the highest pleasure but the standard of pleasure of one may be different from the standard of another. Therefore, the standard of pleasure enjoyed by the Karmis is different from that of the Atmaramas. The Atmarams are completely indifferent in the matter of material enjoyment in every respect. Srila Sukadeva Goswami already attained that stage and still he was attracted for undergoing the trouble of studying the great Bhagwatam literature. This means that Srimad Bhagwatam is the post graduate study even for the Atmaramas who have had surpassed all the studies of Vedic knowledge.

Śrī Śaunaka asked Sūta Gosvāmī: Śrī Śukadeva Gosvāmī was already on the path of self-realization, and thus he was pleased with his own self. So why did he take the trouble to undergo the study of such a vast literature?

For the people in general the highest perfection of life is to cease from material activities and be fixed on the path of self-realization. Those who take pleasure in sense enjoyment, or those who are fixed in material bodily welfare work, are called #i#karmīs#/i#. Out of thousands and millions of such #i#karmīs#/i#, one may become an #i#ātmārāma#/i# by self-realization. #i#Ātmā#/i# means self, and #i#ārāma#/i# means to take pleasure. Everyone is searching after the highest pleasure, but the standard of pleasure of one may be different from the standard of another. Therefore, the standard of pleasure enjoyed by the #i#karmīs#/i# is different from that of the #i#ātmārāmas#/i#. The #i#ātmārāmas#/i# are completely indifferent to material enjoyment in every respect. Śrīla Śukadeva Gosvāmī had already attained that stage, and still he was attracted to undergo the trouble of studying the great #i#Bhāgavatam#/i# literature. This means that #i#Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam#/i# is a postgraduate study even for the #i#ātmārāmas#/i#, who have surpassed all the studies of Vedic knowledge.
