Sukha Questions and Narada answers / Detail
“O Narada! What is acceptable to all the creatures born in this Universe?” asked Suka.
“O Suka! I tell you those words spoken to by Sanatkumara to other sages and saints. Speaking truth is itself Tapassu. The knowledge we acquired is our eye. Renunciation is happiest thing. Desires create all kinds of troubles and miseries. If humanbeing is attached to worldly pleasures and bondage, he never attains Mukti either in this birth or even in next birth. Viewing from any angle, Desires and anger are enemies to attain liberation. If both are discarded, samsara will vanish. There is no otherway to attain liberation except discarding desires and anger.
Wise and learned attain liberation if they renunciate all Karmas and stop receiving anything from others. The other ways to attain liberation are avoiding unnecessary talk with others and viewing and touching unnecessary things. Those who follow non-violence and control their sense organs without subjecting themselves to distress and ficklemindedness, liberation is nothing but amla in their palm. This is the essense of the words of Sanatkumara.
Besides that, one who is influenced by the love and affection towards wife and children, relatives and friends, and one who is influenced by wordly pleasures, he suffers like a deer in a net. He never comes out of the net. Dharma and Adharma, Truth and falsehood, both shall be discarded. By following nonviolence, one can discard Adharma. Without resolving to do any act, one can discard Dharma. With the help of wisdom, one can discard telling truth or falsehood. By acting in the outside world, one gets fear and sorrow. Wise never cares for them because they are coming and going. These five elements, ten organs, mind, intellect are bundled together in this body. Why are you worrying about this body. Why should we worry for the pains and sorrows caused to wife and children, friends and relatives.” said Narada.
With these words of Narada, Suka attained complete detachment from the wordly objects. “O Saint Narada! with your kind words, I have become wiser.

Surya (Sun God) Blesses Sukadev Goswami / Link
After taking leave from Narada, Suka went to his father, Vyasa, and expressed his desire to renunciate this world. Vyasa was very happy. Suka saluted his father and went away. Suka reached Kailasa peak. He sat there facing east and had innersight. Sun appeared before him. Suka prostrated before Sun. Suka was taught about Sarva Atma Tatva by Sun. Now he realised that Atman in everybeing is one and same. All are one and one in all.
