SB 1.4.30

tathāpi bata me daihyo
 hy ātmā caivātmanā vibhuḥ
asampanna ivābhāti
 brahma-varcasya sattamaḥ

Translation: 

I am feeling incomplete, though I myself am fully equipped with everything required by the Vedas.

Purport: 

Undoubtedly Śrīla Vyāsadeva was complete in all the details of Vedic achievements. Purification of the living being submerged in matter is made possible by the prescribed activities in the Vedas, but the ultimate achievement is different. Unless it is attained, the living being, even though fully equipped, cannot be situated in the transcendentally normal stage. Śrīla Vyāsadeva appeared to have lost the clue and therefore felt dissatisfaction.

SB 1.4.31

kiṁ vā bhāgavatā dharmā
 na prāyeṇa nirūpitāḥ
priyāḥ paramahaṁsānāṁ
 ta eva hy acyuta-priyāḥ

Translation: 

This may be because I did not specifically point out the devotional service of the Lord, which is dear both to perfect beings and to the infallible Lord.

Purport: 

The dissatisfaction which was being felt by Śrīla Vyāsadeva is expressed herein in his own words. This was felt for the normal condition of the living being in the devotional service of the Lord. Unless one is fixed in the normal condition of service, neither the Lord nor the living being can become fully satisfied. This defect was felt by him when Nārada Muni, his spiritual master, reached him. It is described as follows.
