King Parikshit had a lot of affection.
In Shri KrishnaKrishna1) An avatãr of Bhagvãn. He incarnated in the svarup of a cowherd. This is considered to be a greater avatãr than the others, as Shree Krishna possessed all of the powers of Bhagvãn, whereas other avatãrs possessed less power. Shree Krishna conveyed the message of love and humanity to the world. Also, He recited the epic poem, the Bhagvad Geetã, to Arjun in which He stated: ‘Whenever dharma declines and adharma increases, I shall incarnate myself as a human to save the holy, to destroy the sin of the sinner, and to establish dharma. I come into being from yug to yug’. 2) In the Vachanãmrut, Shreeji Mahãrãj also uses the name “Shree Krishna” to describe Bhagvãn Purushottam Nãrãyan.Tap to open in glossary →.
He asked a question at the beginning of the tenth canto of the Bhagavat.
Shrutrabhiramam Bhavoshadhat Shrutrabhiramam.

Such is Lord Shri KrishnaKrishna1) An avatãr of Bhagvãn. He incarnated in the svarup of a cowherd.

That he is sung by those whose thirst has ceased, and he is the medicine for worldly existence, pleasing to the ears and mind.
Tell me his divine deeds.
My grandfathers, in the battle, Maranjaye.
That my ancestors.
He took refuge in him.
They have won.
Tell me his divine deeds.
But then it didn't remain so.
Such great respect, the wavering did not remain after hearing the divine deeds of God.
So, the affection that was there diminished.
Doubt arose in his mind that if he is God, why would he do this?
He should not do that.
So, what does 'should not do' mean?
That I shouldn't have to show so much affection in it.
The enthusiasm he had at the beginning of the tenth canto of the Bhagavat did not remain.
And he felt in his mind that it seems like something has gone wrong here.
That thing did not happen to Uddhavji.
Uddhavji took God with him and stayed the night at Kubja's house.
That you have to stay here, you have to stay at the door.
So Uddhavji did not feel that he had made a mistake.
He did not feel that he had done something wrong.
This happened to him.
Parikshit's mind became wavering.
Then Sukdevji and everyone else resolved it.
But he himself became wavering in his mind.
Then that is not called sthitisthiti1) The level of the spiritual state of a bhakta. 2) Sustenance of the world.Tap to open in glossary →.
So Maharaj gave him an example in this.
To remain steadfast.
Gunatitanand Swami said that it is superior to samadhi.
To remain steadfast, to remain in one state, to remain in one state means to remain in a good state.
One who is connected to God through service, through devotion, through the present.
The great saints who remembered God's murtimurti1) Sacred idol of Bhagvãn used to offer worship. There are eight types of murtis that can be worshipped: stone, wood, metal, earth, engraved or drawn, sand, gems, and mental. 2) The form of Bhagvãn.Tap to open in glossary → were connected in that way.

Parikshit had a doubt.
So, it happened because there was no sthitisthiti1) The level of the spiritual state of a bhakta. 2) Sustenance of the world.Tap to open in glossary →.
In what did he not have sthitisthiti1) The level of the spiritual state of a bhakta. 2) Sustenance of the world.Tap to open in glossary →? Did he not have affection for God?
He had affection for God, but due to body-consciousness, his sthitisthiti1) The level of the spiritual state of a bhakta. 2) Sustenance of the world.Tap to open in glossary → deteriorated, Maharaj said.
Maharaj told the whole story that the Vasudev Mahatmyam scripture is very good.
In it, it is shown how a devotee of God can attain sthitisthiti1) The level of the spiritual state of a bhakta. 2) Sustenance of the world.Tap to open in glossary →.
The method of devotion is shown, so one has to attain sthitisthiti1) The level of the spiritual state of a bhakta. 2) Sustenance of the world.Tap to open in glossary →.
Then Maharaj said that in Vasudev Mahatmyam, it is said so much, we don't know, we have read it, it is very old.
But Maharaj extracted from it that there are two types of devotees of God: one who worships God with body-consciousness, and one who worships God by transcending the three bodies.
If one worships God by transcending the three bodies, then no factor that can disrupt one's sthitisthiti1) The level of the spiritual state of a bhakta. 2) Sustenance of the world.Tap to open in glossary → will come.
That was Maharaj's point.
And if one worships God with body-consciousness, then there is a possibility that one's sthitisthiti1) The level of the spiritual state of a bhakta. 2) Sustenance of the world.Tap to open in glossary → in God will be disconnected.
Maharaj said that.
All the examples of this were given for this.
That Parikshit did not have such a state, so he had doubts.
Parikshit did not have such a state, so he had doubts.
Maharaj says that.
So, if it wasn't there, what does it mean that doubt arose?
That he imagined God with body-consciousness.
He imagined body-consciousness.
That if he is God, he should not do this, he should do this and not do that, that is for humans.
There is nothing for God.
And the five senses are for the jiva.
What are the five senses to God, or what is that?
Maharaj says that if God comes into maya, he makes maya itself brahmarup.
He has no fear that if he goes into maya, he will become impure or something will go wrong with him or he will change, that is not for God.
That is all for humans.
For everyone, then, what is more than humans, it is all for the jiva.
Then if one is liberated, it is fine for him.
It is not for God.
But as long as there was no atma-bhava, he would not attain this sthitisthiti1) The level of the spiritual state of a bhakta. 2) Sustenance of the world.Tap to open in glossary →, Maharaj said.
That as long as one is in body-consciousness, one does not attain sthitisthiti1) The level of the spiritual state of a bhakta. 2) Sustenance of the world.Tap to open in glossary →.
Because body-consciousness is such that a person cannot remain steadfast.
If one is connected to God by determining one's true self, then Maharaj says there is no problem.
We are not this body, the feelings of this world come and go, but still, one does not fall back from Maharaj.
Then that is called atma-satta.
Body.
This is the 23rd and 24th Vachanamrut.
Both are of sthitisthiti1) The level of the spiritual state of a bhakta. 2) Sustenance of the world.Tap to open in glossary →.
Thus, Maharaj said in the 24th Vachanamrut.
That Arjuna was such a brave warrior, but he did not know his own soul, so his patience wavered.
