Solution to miseries!

Verse 1.16.34 (Yugal Kishore Prji):

* So here Mother Earth in the form of cow and Personification of Dharma, Bull, they are talking.
* Mother Earth is telling that: I was greatly overburdened by the undue military phalanxes arranged by atheistic kings, and I was relieved by the grace of the Personality of Godhead. Similarly you were also in a distressed condition, weakened in your standing strength, and thus He also incarnated by His internal energy in the family of the Yadus to relieve you.
* They are thinking of the good old days because this happened after Krishna just left the Earth.
* When you are sad, the only relief is to take shelter of Krishna.
* When you cannot avoid some unwanted situations in your life, people do not know this, if you genuinely take shelter of Krishna, He will bring you out of it so nicely or at least make you immune to its effects.
* To the extent you are materially happy, to that extent you will be distressed.
* So what should we do when we are in a lamentable situation...
* If you have spirituality in your life, then it teaches you patience, cause you see the hand of Krishna in it and therefore it helps you to cross-over the temporary miserable situations in your life.
* Krishna is telling, you tolerate the unavoidable troubles.
* Material world is designed in such a case that everyone is frustrated.
* Behind every sad distressful condition, there is a hidden blessing in it. We need to be tolerant, then we will be able to understand it actually.
* Today, everyone is practically a sudra, and because of that even devotees are in trouble.
* Even in Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu's time, the yavana kings were troubling others. Of course Mahaprabhu defeated Chand Kazi.
* Now so many natural problems on earth, so why does Earth not give much, cause the human beings are exploiting Mother Earth like anything.
* Reading Srimad Bhagavatam, chanting the holy name individually and collectively, are the only things that can please Mother Earth and Dharma too. That's why we have to purify ourselves a lot, then it is very beneficial.
