Mood, Krishna is bhava-grahi...

Verse 1.9.34 (Srinivas Pr)
* 16th to 42nd verse, very wonderful prayers told by Sri Bhismadeva. We can always meditate on these prayers to help us pray better to the Lord.
* Very wonderful demonstration of how we should leave the body in a KC way, this episode of Sri Bhismadeva's passing away.
* Here, SP explains how the Lord and His devotees exchange loving relationships, in the 5 different ways. Bhismadeva is in the mood of servitude. His throwing of arrows was accepted by the Lord as a service, because it was all in the mood of servitude. We can see that the
acts of the Lord and also the acts of the pure devotees of the Lord are transcendental.
* Krishna accepts the mood in which we do the actions, not just the actions itself. Eg: arjuna vs duryodhana during the war.
- similar is our sadhana of everyday. Am I doing my chanting for a show, for planning the day etc or for pleasing Guru and Krishna. Why am I chanting, for whose pleasure? We should ask this to ourself, so that our mood improves behind the chanting.
* The Lord's body is spiritual, transcendental. It cannot be affected by any material thing - even the arrows of Bhismadeva.
* The Lord was very very happy with the wounds caused by the arrows of Bhismadeva. The Lords mercifulness and the repentance of Bhismadeva are both unique out here.
* SP also writes: Transcendental bliss is of different varieties, and the variety of activities in the mundane world is but a perverted reflection of transcendental bliss. Because everything in the mundane world is qualitatively mundane, it is full of inebrieties, whereas in the absolute realm, because everything is of the same absolute nature, there are varieties of enjoyment without inebriety.
* Material and spiritual activities may externally appear to be the same, but the beauty of spiritual activities is the mood behind it. That is exactly the reason that it is not at all touched by the material elements. Whereas in material activities, we are bounded in this material world.
* Meditating on Krishna is the essence of this verse.
