Those damsels said ,”If you assure us you would not curse, we would tell you the reason”.

On getting assurance from Ved Vyas, they said,”Your son is Param Hans while you are Hans. We did not find any change in his sight on seeing us. It was as if he was looking at trees and hills. And for you, you saw us, you asked us about our action, which proves that you are a Hans. Hence we dressed when you came.”

Param Hans is the one, who is so absorbed in the spiritual happiness that he sees only him everywhere. He listens only to him, Through all senses he perceives only him meaning only divine soul and the spiritual happiness of divine soul. Body loses its meaning. .It is such state that "who listens to whom? Who sees whom? And so on.". Which means why Paramhans would look else where when he receives the happiness from within the soul. While Hans also has access to spiritual happiness , he sees the world and accepts the correct ones and rejects the wrong ones.

Shuk Dev went to forest and went into divine trans which completely disconnected him from the material world. No material sound, touch smell, fire, water could enter his trans. It turned him like immovable rock from outside while from within there was unending experience of infinite divine bliss.

Ved Vyas returned to his monestry. Ved Vyas wrote all vedas, upnishads, mahabharat but he was restless. He did not know the reason. Once Narad ji met Ved Vyas. He said to Ved Vyas, “You have written a lot of intellectual subject but it all lacked love nectar. You must describe spiritual love – the devotion and lovely divine play of God. For this, you must do spiritual love practice – devotion and get the divine view of God and then construct devotional scripture. You will get rid of this restlessness then.”

So Ved Vyas lived with austerity and saw himself the divine God with form and also saw the ugly form of Maya. After getting the divine knowledge of devotion, he went on to write Bhagwat..
