Detachment and knowledge...

Verse 1.13.16 (Yugal Kishore Pr)

* Pure devotee mentality is given here. Maharaj Yudhistira is actually a pure devotee.
* In the war, he won the battle and started to rule of the world. Almost everyone other than the Pandavas were killed in the battle. But since he was a pure devotee, he continued under all the circumstances.
* In material world, always there is disturbance. "tams titiksva bharata"... Krishna says "tolerate".
* If we indulge in practicing Bhakti yoga, then what happens
- u will get Vairagyam (detachment) and gyanam (knowledge)
- like a wave, whether up or down, it continues towards the shore. Similarly, a devotee should always go towards Krishna.
* Because MY used his complete life as a service to Krishna, he acquired all the knowledge and detachment to not be affected by all the opulence's that he now enjoyed.
* Same with Maharaj Parikshit.
* If we do things in a very responsible way, then we are saved, if not the future is very uncertain.
