Plan our life...

Verse 1.13.9 (Yugal Kishore Prji):

* Here, MY is enquiring from Vidhura as to where all he visited, how he managed to eat, and what are the different holy places he visited and did service at.
* Not knowing Vidhura's exhalted position, Duryodhana insulted him and made him leave the house. But kind of Vidhura actually was happy with this. Why? Cause human life is meant for self-realization. We have to detach ourselves at least after 50 so that we can attach ourselves to Krishna. So Vanaprastha allows one to slowly get detached from house hold life and in some time become completely renounced.
* But in today's life, children are not taking care of mother, so Father cannot leave the house around 50. So they are continuing to work till 60-70. So we need to plan our life. If the children settle early, then parents get opportunity to serve nicely in the temple and hence detach theirselves from worldly matters.
* Here, SP is also telling: In the holy places of India, like Vṛndāvana, Hardwar, Jagannātha Purī, and Prayāga, there are many great devotees, and there are still free kitchen houses for persons who desire to advance spiritually. MY was inquisitive to learn whether Vidura maintained himself by the mercy of the free kitchen houses (chatras).
* Krishna provided kgs of food for the elephant, will not Krishna provide little prasad for His devotees. He will! We just need to have faith on Krishna!
* As we progress in our life, we need to become more and more internal, strong in our sadhana. Not just finishing our 16 rounds and done.
* Second priority to spiritual life is no priority at all.
