SB 2.7.8 (P Mji):
* "Being insulted by sharp words spoken by the co-wife of the king, even in his presence, Prince Dhruva, though only a boy, took to severe penances in the forest. And the Lord, being satisfied by his prayer, awarded him the Dhruva planet, which is worshiped by great sages, both upward and downward."
* This is a very instructional summary here
* Two aspects here
- 1) Eyes completely blinded by the thick glasses of envy, pride, illusion etc
- Krishna says in BG: kama esa krodha esa...
- lust, anger and finally illusion follow one after another, just starting from lust alone
- 2) Other aspect is the devotion and dedication of a pure devotee, Dhruva Maharaj, comes out here
- just at 5 years, after being insulted by his step mother, he inquired from his own mother, set out to achieve his objective with strong determination
- fulfilled his life's objective by seeking out the Supreme Lord, by following the words of his spiritual master
* As soon as the Lord, living in the heart of every living entity, as soon as He realizes that a living entity is
searching for Him, then the Lord Himself will send forward bona fide representative
* Our life is also so much affected, because Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, gave us this Hare Krishna Maha mantra and giving us an opportunity to perfect our lives
