Srila Suta Gosvami said: Let me offer my respectful obeisances unto that great sage [Sukadeva Gosvami] who can enter the hearts of all. When he went away to take up the renounced order of life [sannyasa], leaving home without undergoing reformation by the sacred thread or the ceremonies observed by the higher castes, his father, Vyasadeva, fearing separation from him, cried out, "O my son!" Indeed, only the trees, which were absorbed in the same feelings of separation, echoed in response to the begrieved father.

SB 1.2.3

yah svanubhavam akhila-sruti-saram ekam
adhyatma-dipam atititirsatam tamo 'ndham
samsarinam karunayaha purana-guhyam
tam vyasa-sunum upayami gurum muninam

 

yah—he who; sva-anubhavam—self-assimilated (experienced); akhila—all around; sruti—the Vedas; saram—cream; ekam—the only one; adhyatma—transcendental; dipam—torchlight; atititirsatam—desiring to overcome; tamah andham—deeply dark material existence; samsarinam—of the materialistic men; karunaya—out of causeless mercy; aha—said; purana—supplement to the Vedas; guhyam—very confidential; tam—unto him; vyasa-sunum—the son of Vyasadeva; upayami—let me offer my obeisances; gurum—the spiritual master; muninam—of the great sages.

 

Let me offer my respectful obeisances unto him [Suka], the spiritual master of all sages, the son of Vyasadeva, who, out of his great compassion for those gross materialists who struggle to cross over the darkest regions of material existence, spoke this most confidential supplement to the cream of Vedic knowledge, after having personally assimilated it by experience.
