If by “SB 7.1” you mean Śrīmad Bhāgavatam (Srimad Bhagavatam), Canto 7, Chapter 1, the chapter is commonly titled “The Supreme Lord Is Equal to Everyone.”
Main theme
King Yudhiṣṭhira asks why the Supreme Lord appears to favor the demigods and oppose the demons if He is truly equal to all beings.
Key points
- Nārada Muni explains that the Lord is impartial; apparent favoritism arises from the different attitudes and actions of living beings.
- The chapter discusses how intense absorption in the Lord—even through enmity—can lead to liberation.
- The story of Jaya and Vijaya, the gatekeepers of Vaikuṇṭha, is introduced. Because of a curse from the Kumāras, they take birth in the material world as:
- Hiraṇyākṣa and Hiraṇyakaśipu,
- Rāvaṇa and Kumbhakarṇa,
- Śiśupāla and Dantavakra.
- The chapter sets the stage for the life of Prahlāda Mahārāja, one of the central figures of Canto 7.
Famous verse (SB 7.1.30)
kāmād dveṣād bhayāt snehād
yathā bhaktyeśvare manaḥ
āveśya tad-aghaṁ hitvā
bahavas tad-gatiṁ gatāḥ
Meaning: By fixing the mind on the Supreme Lord through desire, hatred, fear, affection, or devotion, many persons became absorbed in Him and attained perfection.
