Spiritual Relationship is eternal!

Verse 1.14.23-24 (Yugal Kishore Prji):

* Arjuna is returning in 7 months, so long. And Maharaj Yudhistira was seeing all inauspicious moments everywhere.
* Arjuna means dhira, sober, warrior, ksatriya. But that person, how was he looking like now? The head was down, tears were cascading from his eyes, he was down.
* Arjuna is a nithyasiddha devotee of the Lord, but for material souls something like this happens, who are lost in material conditioning.
* Story: Prabhuji in Erie, PA. Nice program, everyone happy, prasadam over. Suddenly phone call came, giving news that the host's grandmother passed away.
- She was too attached to her grandmother, when that attachment was broken, so much misery comes from the death
- The pain is because the relationship was created on the level on the mind! Realized: relationships in the material world are temporary.
- But what if Krishna is in the center, then there will be sorrow, but on the spiritual level. And that will enhance the relationship. Eternal relationship.
- Eg: SP's disciples, never forget SP. Similarly for us, eternal relationship ==> we will keep them in the heart always, never forget.
- Another eg: Arjuna cried for Abhimanyu, not just for his son, but because he was an associate in service to Krishna!
* Spiritual relationships, so very good. Chastity, is not just for ladies, gents too!
* Krishna gave everything to Arjuna. That dearest person had not departed.
* Bhishmadeva's instruction to MY: you will also give the same pain to others, when you depart.
