Real samadhi...

Verse 1.9.25 (Mohan Pr):
* Prabhuji describing the scene of this verse.
* In this verse, Maharaj Yudhistira is asking Bhismadeva about the principles of religion.
* Srila Prabhupada makes 3 points here
- Krishna inspired Maharaj Yudhistira to ask this question here in this verse.
- Pure devotees are not in the bodily platform at any time. "His pure devotees are always sound in body and mind by dint of spiritual enlightenment"
- Krishna likes to see his devotees to be more glorious than him
* Elaborating on the second point
- that is samadhi, from within always enlightened
- mystic power is different from the real samadhi Eg: many so called yogi's in samadhi, that is just a mystic power
- In BG, Krishna clearly describes samadhi - x.55
- One in full samadhi has realized all 3, the brahman, paramatma and bhagavan. And one realizes that one's highest realization is to always establish oneself in service to the Supreme.
- We are very fortunate that we have been introduced to KC, where the perfect understanding of the soul, the supersoul and their relation is present. And this understanding is very rare
eg: how rare it is for a tortoise to find a log with a hole of its right head size, so that it puts itself in there and floats to land from the ocean, that much is the rarity of achieving this KC.
- Also rare is that we came in here when Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu Himself is giving Krishna prema, happens very rarely
* How to achieve the state of samadhi
- First step is to control the senses
- first 4 verses of the NOI, practically implement in our life
