Opulences of the Lord!

Verse 1.11.30 (Puja Mji):
* In this chapter we see how all the ppl of Dvaraka are joyful in welcoming Lord Krishna.
* After giving obeisances to His mothers, He entered His palaces to meet His 16108 wifes who were waiting to see Him.
* he Personality of Godhead means one who is full with all power, all energy, all opulences, all beauties, all knowledge and all renunciation. Therefore, in the palaces of the Lord there was nothing wanting for fulfilling all desires of the Lord.
* Perfect to the fullest extent - is the Lord!
* Isopanishad - verse 1 - Complete whole
* BG Chapter 10 also the Lord's opulence is described.
* BG 10.16 - prominent splendourous opulences, a few limited were described by Krishna. It is not possible for us to comprehend the complete opulence of the Lord.
* The Supreme Personality can be realized in 3 aspects: Brahman, paramatma and Bhagavan.
* The essence can be got through devotional service only. And then His opulences can come to be known.

Basically, we need to understand the temp nature of this material body and nature too. We have to accept beyond doubt that Krishna is the SPG beyond doubt. Body is a machine, wear-tear will be there. Before we give up this temp body, if we can understand the realized truths, then we make lot of progress actually.
There is no doctors now who can cure us of our envy, lust, anger, pride. But if we take shelter of Krishna by chanting His holy name sincerely, then He will help for sure. If at all u want to do something, become a pure devotee, then automatically everything will follow. Only thing we need is to be sincere.

Krishna expects some qualities from us
- follow bhakti process with sense control, perseverance.
