Verse 1.8.41 (Supriya Mataji):
* Imp point is cutting down the ties of family affection.
* Here, Kuntidevi is requesting Krishna to sever her ties with her family. Eg: Indra being cursed to become a hog. His attachments to the hog body.
* ...
* Another example: Blood is flowing through the body. If there is a clot in one part, the whole body suffers due to this. At that time, we are supposed to cut off the limb to save the body.
Similarly, Mother Kunti is approaching the Supreme specialist to cutoff her affection towards Pandavas and Vrsnis.
* Eg: Srila Prabhupada's life, how things were arranged in his life so that he could do such more for Krishna.
* Kuntidevi knew about her family ties, although she is asking Krishna to sever the ties, this verse is very important to understand. She bought her children in a Krishna Conscious way.
* If we think our children is our children, then it brings out attachment. But when we realize that our children are actually Krishna's property and if we bring up them in Krishna Consciousness, then out of this attachment comes liberation.
Eg: Arjuna raising Abhimanyu, Kuntidevi raising Pandavas.
* This nature of relationship means liberation.
* Cut-off my bodily relationships and enhance my Krishna Conscious relationships, that is the prayer of Kunti Maharani out here.
