Verse 1.9.13 (Kavitha Mji):
* Here Bhismadeva is talking about the sufferings of Queen Kunti.
* She had to go to exile with Pandu, then Pandu died early, so she underwent great difficulties in bringing up her young children. Even when the Pandavas grew up, she faced a lot of problems due to their actions.
* All these actions and the troubles are being discussed here.
* She also lost her 5 grand children because of the Kauravas.
* SP comments here that she had these problems by providence and tolerance is the only solution. The same applies to all of us.
* And as we saw before, Kunti still prays to Lord Krishna for more and more problems, so that she can remember Krishna. This is another thing we could learn, to pray to give us strength to overcome problems. Since problems will never go away in this material world.
* And this happens by surrender to the Lord. By constantly thinking of the Lord and aspiring to surrender, being tolerant, we can make progress then.
* BG shloka ultimate: matras sparshas tu kaunteya....
* For us, best thing is not to ask Krishna for troubles. Because if Krishna gives troubles, we might not take it. So for our stage, best position is to be tolerant.
