TEXT No. 4

Prak kalpa visayam etam smritim te munisattama
Nahi esha byabadhat kala esha sarva nirakriti

ENGLISH SYNONYMS

Prak—prior, Kalpa—the duration of Brahma's day, Visayam—subject matter, Etam—all these, Smritim—remembrance, Te—your, Munisattama—oh the great sage, Na—not, Esha—all these, Hi—certainly, Byabadhat—made any difference, Kala—course of time, Esha—all these, Sarva—all, Nirakriti—annihilation.


TRANSLATION

Oh the great sage, the time annihilates everything in due course and how it so happened that subject matter which happened prior to this duration of Brahma's day is still afresh in your remembrance without being disturbed by time.


PURPORT

As spirit does not annihilate ever after the annihilation of the material body so also spiritual consciousness does not annihilate. Sri Narada developed this spiritual consciousness even when he had the material body in the previous Kalpa. Consciousness of the material body means spiritual consciousness expressed, through the medium of material body. This consciousness is inferior, destructible and perverted. But super consciousness of the supra mind in the spiritual plane is as good as the spirit soul and is never annihilated.
