Vatsalya Rasa, Faith in the Lord!

Verse 1.11.29 (Kasi Pr):
* We know Krishna is all powerful. The pure devotees assembled there became ecstatic.
* Elevation to ecstatic sysmptoms
- constant association with pure devotees
- special mercy of Krishna or the mercy of a pure devotee of Krishna.
* The second case is very rare.
* Ecstatic love of Godhead can be attained by following the rules and regulations, of DS.
* Attributes of devotees who can experience this ecstasy
- does not respect any material respect
- very much attached to chant the holy names of the Lord
- very much eager to describe the glories of the Lord
- ...

YK Pr:
* This shloka explains the Vatsalya rasa. Krishna is actually more than 100 years old here, but for the mothers, He is still a child.
* No one has exceeded Mother Yasoda in this rasa.
* Krishna is very tricky, if you make Krishna as your son, then He will become your son.
- Love the pure devotee, have faith on them. Because they have so much love for Krishna, that Krishna will help us.
* Narada muni also uses the same statement: Anybody who is attached to the temporary material pleasures of this material world, cannot see Me.
- Because NAradamuni saw Krishna once for a few minutes, he developed faith on Krishna. Without even worrying for the minimum necessities of life, he lived in the holy places. End of life, he thought of Krishna alone, then he got rid of material body and got the spiritual body.
- if we are sincere, it is our story also. Problem is we are not sincere.
