Bhakti attracts, controls Krishna!

Verse 1.8.45 (YK Pr):
* The relationship between Krishna and His pure devotees is wonderful and cannot be easily understood.
* He will never cheat us, He will wait for us that is His tolerance and patience. And pure devotion is so powerful, that it attracts Krishna.
* Mahaprabhu, after taking sannyasa, wanted to leave for Shantipur. But devotees requested him to stay, and like that they made him stay for 2 years there itself. That is the love the devotees had for him.
* Suppose we are a CEO of a company, we can hire and fire. But our young son or daugther will control us.
* Srimati Radharani is the best lover of Krishna, that is why she is the goddess of devotion.
* Even in BG, Krishna says, whoever worships Him in whatever way, He will reciprocate in that way.
* Krishna is literally controlled by pure devotional service. Here, Maharaj Yudhistir requested with love and Krishna could not reject.
* Krishna is fearful of two things: Mother Yasoda's anxiety and Srimati Radharani's anger.
* Another example: Jagadananda Pandit bringing pots of sandalwood oil to CM.
- the greatest thing in the world is bhakti. The best way to perform it is chanting sincerely the Holy Name of the Lord.
