Srimad Bhagavatam Verses 1.1.1 to 1.2.9
_______________________
Satyanarayana Dasa
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)

If one is serious about spiritual life it is important to understand one’s own mind, capabilities and shortcomings. You start from the place where you stand. Thus it is important to know your identity clearly.
