Longing, mood for devotional service!

Verse 1.10.33-35 (YK Pr):
* Here Krishna has accomplished His job in the Kuru world and is now returning after a long time to His own dhama, Dvaraka.
* The residents of Hastinapura though could not stand the separation from the Lord.
* Two types of devotees- nitya siddha and nitya-baddha
* If you want to continue in KC, then SP explains, we need to develop the yearning, the longing, that when will the day come when I will develop the taste for the Holy name.
* The only way to come out of maya conditioning is geniune faith in the name of Krishna. Even if we are seeing death everyday, we don't realize the futility of material existence.
* Shelter of Guru and Krishna must be accepted to learn and apply them nicely. Take guidance and execute bhakti, devotional service. To the extent we are sincere in doing this, we will go forward.
* The mood is important, the melting of the heart. Unless we develop the mood of trnad api sunicena, we might be chanting for millions of years, we will not go forward.
* As neophyte devotees, we have lot of respect for everyone. We need to maintain the same mood, because if not, we will start developing the habit of judging others.
* We need to make sincere effort.
