Lord Raghuvir Invites Vasistha & Leading Brahmans to the Royal Court
One fine day, invited by Lord Raghuvir, the spiritual preceptor Vasistha, leading Brahmans and other citizens gathered in the royal court. When the guru, sages, Brahamans and other gentlemen had taken their seats, the Lord who ends the cycle of birth-death of His devotees, spoke the following words to them: Oh all the denizens!Listen to what I have to say. I am not speaking these words because of any affection in My heart for you. Neither is it concerned with any wrong doing and nor am I exercising my sovereignty. Therefore,(discarding shyness and fear, and paying attention) listen to My talk and act accordingly if you please.
Parloka or Paradise
Only the one who obeys My command, is my servitor and dearest to Me. O brother! If I say anything which is wrong, do not be afraid (apprehensive) to correct Me. It is by great good fortune that you have been granted a human body. All the scriptures have declared that it is tough even for the gods to attain such a body. It is the abode of spiritual endeavours and a gateway to moksha or salvation. He who fails to make it parloka or paradise even on attaining the human body.

Attributing the Blame to Time, Fate & God
He is tortured in the other world and beats his head in remorse. And (not regarding them as his wrong-doings)he falsely attributes the blame to Time, Fate and God.

There are 84 lakh Yonis or Creatures in this Universe
O brother! Sensuous enjoyment is not the fruition of human existence.(What to talk of worldly enjoyments)even heavenly enjoyment is short-lived and invariably ends in sorrow. Therefore those foolish people whose minds are absorbed in sensual pleasures even after attaining human birth, exchange nectar for poison. No one ever calls that person righteous (sensible), who sqanders away the parasmani (a rare legendary stone which has the ability to turn base metals into gold) and takes a berry in return. This imperishable soul wanders through eighty-four lakh species of life, falling under four broad divisions (mammals, reptiles, amphibians and birds.)
Maya, the Lord's Illusory Power
Driven by Maya (My illusory power) and controlled by time, destiny, nature and gunas, it forever wanders about aimlessly. Rarely does God, who loves the living being without any self-interest, bestow a human form.This form of a human being is a boat ( a vessel) which helps one cross the ocean of mundane existence. My grace is the favourable wind, and a worthy spiritual preceptor is the boatman who steers this strong ship.In this manner the means which are difficult to secure, have been made easily available to the human being(by the grace of God).
