Verse 1.9.16 (Supriya Mataji):
* In this verse, it is clearly given that no one can know the plan of the Lord.
* In Mahabharata we can see, it was impossible for the Pandavas to win over the Kurus, but the Lord arranged so many things just to establish dharma, that they won.
* So here Bhismadeva tells that it was not Yudhistira's misdeeds, but the Lord's arrangement.
* So what can we learn from the Pandavas
- Being a friend and devotee of the Lord
- How to righteously win the way, without giving away the principles of life
- how to be tolerant of all difficulties and depend on the Lord
* Even SP, so many difficulties, but finally everything was good. It was the Lord's plan.
* Very difficult to accept the Lord's plan, but we have to abide by it. We can understand it from the example of devotees in SB: eg: Maharaj Chitrakethu, Maharaj Parikshit. It's a guidance for us as to how we should react to adverse condition.
* Its important that we make a goal that I will transcend the 3 modes of nature, so that we can cruise towards the goal of going back to godhead.
* In adverse conditions, we have to focus to transcend the modes of nature.
* Eg: Indradyumna Maharaj's diary, about a man who tore the book of SP, threw the devotee out of the train and how he eventually himself became a devotee due to this book itself. That is the plan of Krishna, He plans everything for us so wonderfully. We only have to sincerely accept His arrangement.

Verse 1.9.15 (Ramana Pr):
