SB 1.5.5

vyāsa uvāca

asty eva me sarvam idaṁ tvayoktaṁ
 tathāpi nātmā parituṣyate me
tan-mūlam avyaktam agādha-bodhaṁ
 pṛcchāmahe tvātma-bhavātma-bhūtam

Translation: 

Śrī Vyāsadeva said: All you have said about me is perfectly correct. Despite all this, I am not pacified. I therefore question you about the root cause of my dissatisfaction, for you are a man of unlimited knowledge due to your being the offspring of one [Brahmā] who is self-born [without mundane father and mother].

Purport: 

In the material world everyone is engrossed with the idea of identifying the body or the mind with the self. As such, all knowledge disseminated in the material world is related either with the body or with the mind, and that is the root cause of all despondencies. This is not always detected, even though one may be the greatest erudite scholar in materialistic knowledge. It is good, therefore, to approach a personality like Nārada to solve the root cause of all despondencies. Why Nārada should be approached is explained below.

SB 1.5.6

sa vai bhavān veda samasta-guhyam
 upāsito yat puruṣaḥ purāṇaḥ
parāvareśo manasaiva viśvaṁ
 sṛjaty avaty atti guṇair asaṅgaḥ

Translation: 

My lord! Everything that is mysterious is known to you because you worship the creator and destroyer of the material world and the maintainer of the spiritual world, the original Personality of Godhead, who is transcendental to the three modes of material nature.

Purport: 

A person who is cent-percent engaged in the service of the Lord is the emblem of all knowledge. Such a devotee of the Lord in full perfection of devotional service is also perfect by the qualification of the Personality of Godhead. As such, the eightfold perfections of mystic power (aṣṭa-siddhi) constitute very little of his godly opulence. A devotee like Nārada can act wonderfully by his spiritual perfection, which every individual is trying to attain. Śrīla Nārada is a cent-percent perfect living being, although not equal to the Personality of Godhead.
