Translation
An example from Hari-bhakti-sudhodaya: Śaunaka speaks to Suta: Though the material world is full of faults, it has one good quality—association with devotees. By this association, we have given up the desire for liberation.
Purport (Nectar of Devotion)
There is a statement in the Hari-bhakti-sudhodaya in which these great brāhmaṇas and sages, headed by Śaunaka Ṛṣi, told Sūta Gosvāmī, “My dear great soul, just see how wonderful it is! Although as human beings we are contaminated with so many taints of material existence, simply by our conversing with you about the Supreme Personality of Godhead we are now gradually decrying our desire for liberation.”
