Absorption in Krishna, Lila, Narada’s Past Life
Question: I was going through the commentary on SB 5.8.26 where Śrīla Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura talks about two kinds of prārabdha – śobhanam and aśobhanam. The śobhanam aspect produces bhakti which gives the pain of separation. This is like medicine applied to the eyes which might initially give irritation but results in good sight later.
