Relationship is the key to KC!!!

Verse 1.5.15: Important for us to know the mood of Vyasadev. Srila Vyasadev spent major portion of his life in compiling all the Vedas and the Puranas, just for the benefit of mankind. And now Srila Narada muni comes and says that all that he has done is just misguided mankind. So it is important for us to understand the mood of Vyasadev and how he took the instructions of his spiritual master, for the best.

The human tendency is to enjoy, but actually we are suffering due to ignorance. So to come out of ignorance, we need knowledge from an authoritative source.
But to listen from someone and learn from it, 4 things required:
1) Personal relationship with a speaker is required, for the words to enter into our heart
2) Need to be ready to set our misconceptions on the side
3) To inquire submissively
4) Establishing a relationship, then maintain and enhance the relationship. This second thing can be performed only by performing service to him

We will notice that in the conversation between Narada muni and Vyasadev, all these 4 things exist and that is why Vyasadev takes to the instruction of his spiritual master nicely.

Same thing about these 4 points exist with
* Deity worship
* Chanting
* Relationship with devotees

Key thing in Krishna Consciousness is Relationship, it is very very essential for our life.
