Krishna's beauty ...

Verse 1.11.25 (Kavitha Mji):
* SP is describing the Lord's beauty. The Lord's beauty is described in so many scriptures and it is not easily understood by material beings. There is no satiation also in seeing the beauty of the Lord Krishna.
* Madhurashtakam, by Valabacharya.
* Out of 64 qualities, 4 are only in Krishna. And immeasurable beauty is one among them.
* Material beauty is very very brief. It will also differ based on how we look at it, our perspective. Another quality of material beauty is that it can never satisfy the soul.
* Whereas Krishna's beauty is spiritual and it never satiates one.
* In the beginning of our KC life, we might not have the faith, but we will develop the quality of admiring the beauty of the Lord.
* We have to understand and try to realize that this body is a source of suffering and it will perish one day. But if we genuinely pray to Krishna, since He is above maya, only He can get us out of this suffering. and that is done by sincere chanting only.
* HG Jananivas Pr: Focus on name first, then rupa, then guna and then lila. Otherwise, even chanting for 40 years, we will not realize this truth.
* And this is done through service and genuine chanting of the Holy name.
