Pure devotee association!

Verse 1.13.38 (Krishna Patro Pr):

* We can see how the Pandavas, from their childhood are always satisfying the SPG.
* Pure devotees find satisfaction in self alone, by serving the Lord and the devotees. No other material thing will give the same satisfaction.
* In spite of all difficulties he had already faced, Maharaj Yudhistira is feeling so much pain about Dhrthrashtra and Gandhari leaving the palace. He forgave everything, that is the nature of a pure devotee.
eg: chicken goes into the trash and just gets one nice grain and is satisfied.
* Another eg of a pure devotee: Draupadi forgiving Ashwattama, even though he killed all her 5 sons.
* In his service to his uncle, YM never showed any wrong feeling. Always compassionate to him.
* Here, we can learn how to forgive and learn about the good in others and simultaneously serving others.
* Another point: greatness of pure devotees like Naradamuni, who had no other business save and except singing the glories of the Lord and saving conditioned souls.
* Pandavas are setting an example of how we should receive the pure devotees of the Lord.
