Naarada Pancaraatra

Rsi Narada collected expositions of the Vedas which deal with devotional service and which inspire non fruitive action. Naarada Pancaraatra trains the karmis or the fruitive workers to achieve liberation from the bondage of fruitive work. The conditioned souls are mostly attracted by fruitive work because they want to enjoy life by the sweat of their own brow. But material conditions, either in so-called happiness or in so-called distress, are all meant ultimately for distress only. Foolish materialists have no information how to obtain eternal happiness in the unconditional state. Sri Narada informs these foolish fruitive workers how to realize the reality of happiness (i.e. through devotional service). - SB 1.3.8
