Chapter 60 – Talks Between Krishna and Rukmini
IMPORTANCE OF KRISHNA KATHA
nārāyanam namaskrtyanaram caiva narottamamdevīm sarasvatīm vyāsamtato jayam udīrayet
Before reciting this Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, which is the very means of conquest, one should offer respectful obeisances unto the Personality of Godhead, Nārāyana, unto Nara-nārāyana Rsi, the supermost human being, unto mother Sarasvatī, the goddess of learning, and unto Śrīla Vyāsadeva, the author.
nasta-prāyesv abhadresunityam bhāgavata-sevayābhagavaty uttama-ślokebhaktir bhavati naisthikī
By regular attendance in classes on the Bhāgavatam and by rendering of service to the pure devotee, all that is troublesome to the heart is almost completely destroyed, and loving service unto the Personality of Godhead, who is praised with transcendental songs, is established as an irrevocable fact.

Otherwise no love for you
Like my devotees, I am also Renounced.
Family life no interest, interested in self realization. Stopped…
Krishna’s Talk - Reason
Sukadeva Goswami – Rukmini bit proud
Krishna doesn't want his devotees to be proud. He will cut down.
Rukmini thought - Krishna could be separated any moment.
Rukmini felt very hard to hear
Fear of separation – cried in great Anxiety. CAmara fell down.
Very weak – fell down like banana tree cut down by a whirlwind
Krishna realized – Rukmini did not take it jokingly
So mercifully, appeared in 4 handed form
Brought her up by her hand and Embraced to his chest.
Krishna – Daughter of Vidarbha, you are my eternal companion.
Wanted to irritate you a bit to have argument with you.
Wanted to see your beautiful face in angry mood. Do not take it serious.

Ref:
Aisvaryasya samagrasyavIryasya yasasah sriyahjNAna vairAgyayos caivaSannam bhaga itIngana
Vishnu PurAna : 6.5.47Full wealth, Strength, fame, beauty, knowledge and renunciation – these are the six opulences of the supreme personality of God Head
Bhagavan – Only krishna
100 % 94 % 84 % 78 %
Devotees are also called Bhagavan – They carry Krishna’s messages
Rupa Goswami’s Analysis
Penniless – You no need to purchase anything. Creator, richest of all. JanmAdy asya yatah..
Devotees – Poor, beggars. Narada Muni. Ultimate GoalSB: 5.24.22
Wants to follow the great beggars and surrender my life at you lotus feet
Rukmini’s Talk
Rich people – Sense gratification
Bali MaharAj – God gate keeper
You give yourself completely to your devotees - Penniless
Ref:
SB: 5 24.22 - Purport
Therefore when a pure devotee is seen to possess exalted material opulence, it is not due to his karma. Rather, it is due to his bhakti. In other words, he is in that position because the Supreme Lord wants him to execute service to Him very easily and opulently. The special mercy of the Lord for the neophyte devotee is that he becomes materially poor. This is the Lord's mercy because if a neophyte devotee becomes materially opulent, he forgets the service of the Lord. However, if an Advanced devotee is favored by the Lord with opulence, it is not material opulence but a spiritual opportunity. Material opulence offered to the demigods causes forgetfulness of the Lord, but opulence was given to Bali Mahārāja for continuing service to the Lord, which was free from any touch of māyā.
Why some devotees are poor some are rich ?
Took Shelter at Ocean - Contradict. Kidnapped like Lion
Rukmini’s Talk
Time factor will devastate all richesConsider great kings like a small insects.
Anga, Prthu, Bharata etc – Renounced.No lamentation, sorrow.
I am not fool to select one who is afraid of Birth, Disease, Old age and death
Kings like Cats & Dogs. Body is like a dead body decorated with hear, finger, Mustache. Hitopadesa
You are the master of the three worldFulfill desire of all the devotee.
Animal & Man - Difference ?
AhAra-nidrA-bhaya-maithunam casAmAnyam etat pasubhir narAnAmDharmo hi tesAm adhiko visesoDharmena hInAh pasubhih samAnAh
Both animals and men share the activities of eating, sleeping, mating and defending. But the special property of the human is that they are able to engage in spiritual life. Therefore without spiritual life, human are on the level of animals
Hitopadesa

Any expectation – I am at your service
My devotees – free from material Contamination. Kali.. Upanishad??
I Tested, exam successful
