Independence by dependence on Krishna!

Verse 1.15.38 (Kasi Prji):

* Thereafter, in the capital of Hastinapura, he enthroned his grandson, who was trained and equally qualified, as the emperor and master of all land bordered by the seas.
* So here we see that MY made his grandson Maharaj Parikshit the emperor of the earth and prepared to take to the renounced order and go back home to Godhead.
* SP comments elsewhere that Kings should not be dependent on anyone for ruling their kingdom. They should only be dependent on Krishna. If ruled in such a proper way, all natural things will be given to the kingdom and hence everyone would be happy.
* But unlike that, in today's world, the King's or Presidents are either not completely independent or are not devotees. The result is wide-spread anarchy and so many natural causes of suffering.
* Story of Alexander the Great and the small thief.
* Same way, human beings having higher intelligence, they should make their life successful by accepting KC, otherwise there is no difference between them and the animals.
* Life is tottering like a drop of water on the lotus leaf. Any time the end can come. We should therefore spend this lifetime in sincerely achieving God Consciousness.
* "When young, ppl spend health to gain wealth. When old, they spend wealth to gain health. Ultimately they do not gain anything".
* Determination, devotion to the Lord is required to sincerely chant and hence attain self-realization.
