Duties of Grhastha, Brahmachari and Sannyasi...

Verse 1.9.27 (YK Pr):
* Here, Bhismadeva is instructing Maharaj Yudhistira, as to what the dharma of the different aashrams are.
* Grhasthas should give charity and keep Krishna in the center, while brahmacharis and sannyasis's must perform austerity.
* In grhastha life, unless Krishna is in the center of the life, it is a deep dark well. Unless one can deliver his dependents, one should not become a father, mother, husband or wife, or a Guru. So at least we should train our dependents in the path of KC.
* We all get our energy from Krishna, and our life is like a water drop on a lotus leaf. Life is very short, but if we utilize in Krishna's service, then we will be happy, otherwise we will become just sense enjoyers and fall down into this deep dark well.
* Sadhana bhakti, whether u like it or not, perform the devotional acts and services, just for our own purity and Krishna's pleasure.
* "No pain, no gain". Time is running out, the condition which we will are in this world in this body, will make another body for the next life.
* Body is vulnerable to so many things, but we are not the temporary clay bodies, where we are worried about all these things like sharp objects etc. Truth is that we are not this body. We need to chant nicely, follow the instruction of Guru nicely.
* When we surrender to authority, then life becomes peaceful because someone else is taking care of our life.
* Sadhana and all, it should make our heart soft. If it makes us proud, then definitely something we are doing is wrong.
* But the world is going down, so it becomes important for us to preach. If you are saved, then help save others. SP's mercy needs to be given to all.
* Our life is very short, we have to utilize it in the right way.
