they were still breathing and sleeping soundly.

Note – Bhagavatham stories give very relevant insight into human psychology. When you are wanted by every one, you become energetic and dynamic, otherwise you feel old and discarded. Then you will be

pulled down to lethargy. Only the presence of Wise men can motivate and bring you out of this self-destructive situation.

Bhakti’s Questions to Narada and His Answers

Bhakti wanted Narada to explain to her why King Parikshit did not destroy the sinful Kali (the evil traits in human mind)? Kali was responsible for pushing people to indulge in sinful activities. She asked Narada why King Parikshit neglected Kali instead of destroying him. She wondered why even the most merciful sages were tolerating this unrighteous Kali.

Narada started explaining to Bhakti to clear all her doubts and concerns. He said that from the day Lord Krishna, who is the Self and Father of every mind discarded his physical body when he was 125 years old, Kali or selfishness (selfish minded people) set foot again on this Earth. He started destroying good people to achieve his selfish motives.
