The Example of the King and His Ministers
Narada illustrates love's self-sufficiency with an analogy: seeking only the king secures the kingdom and all its servants.
Narada draws an analogy in Sutra 31: 'Raja-griha-bhojanadishu tatraiva drishta-tvat' — as when one who has won the king's favor naturally gains his palace, food, and all his attendants. So too, the one who attains divine love receives all lesser goods as a matter of course, without seeking them separately. The devotee who has the Beloved has everything; nothing more need be pursued. This teaches the strategic wisdom of going straight to the source. Like the principle of seeking first what is highest and finding all else added, Narada shows that love of God is not one good among many but the master-good that contains them all.
As serving the king secures the palace, food, and all his attendants.
The king analogy parallels the Gospel teaching to 'seek first the kingdom, and all these things shall be added,' expressing a shared logic that the highest good encompasses every lesser one.
