Vaisnava Relationships, Serving...

Verse 1.13.59 (Saci Suta Pr):

* SP mentioning two imp pts:
- Dhrtrashtra was liberated because he got the association of Vidhura, a pure devotee of the Lord!
- An offense at the feet of a Vaisnava is more dangerous than an offense at the lotus feet of the Lord.
- Eg: Jagai and Madhai
* Vaisnava aparadha, the Lord never forgets
- Also eg: Jagai being delivered, madhai not. Only after madhai fell at the lotus feet of Lord Nityananda, that he was forgiven.
* Vaisnava relationships so imp
- relating to devotees and developing relationships
- in NOI, 6 principles to developing good relationships
* We should offer obeisances, serve, even to neophyte vaisnavas.
* Purpose of serving devotees is ultimately to serve Krishna! for the pleasure of Guru and Krishna.
* In Caityanya Caritamrta, these 6 principles are so nicely given
- Lord exchanging prasadam with othe devotees
- Srivas thakur's humility
- Haridas thakur's merciful attitude
* Chanting is the essence!
