Remebering Krishna throughout....

Verse 1.9.45 (Sundari Mji):
* This speaks a lot about Bhismadeva.
* Why was Bhismadeva so qualified? He was a Mahajan and the disciple of so many exhalted Gurus.
* A person is not just a Mahajan due to all this, but because of the way he leads his whole life.
* Bhismadeva was chosen by the Lord to show that however exhalted one may be, when he is not on the dharma side, then he will be destroyed.
* In his previous life, he was one of the 8 vasus. Prabhas was one of them, who committed the mistake of stealing the kamadhenu cow from Sage Vasistha. Due to the curse of this sage, he was born on the earthly planet
* Whatever our occupation, our existence, our goal should be to only please Krishna.
* Krishna promises to protect the soul, always. The body may be destroyed, but the spirit soul is always protected.
* Here Bhismadeva is pierced with arrows, but still at that moment, he is trying to remember the pastimes of the Lord. So much for us to learn on how to live to please Krishna.
* For a devotee, if he is living of dying, he is always in KC, serving the Lord.
* Always be in the mood of thinking about Krishna. To think of Krishna while dying, it is a must that we practise that during the whole life. That is what SP's words and KC presents to us.
Eg: HH Bhakti-tirtha Swami Maharaj's passing away
* Supreme wealth is love of God. Every single opportunity we have, we have to utilize in Krishna's service.
