Intelligent persons abandon everything else to obtain the Supreme Personality of Godhead

Rukmini uvaca from the chapter Krsna teases Rukmini:

SB 10.60.38: You are the embodiment of all human goals and are Yourself the final aim of life. Desiring to attain You, O all-powerful Lord, intelligent persons abandon everything else. It is they who are worthy of Your association, not men and women absorbed in the pleasure and grief resulting from their mutual lust.

From the purport:

"In fact, only those who have given up all such material conceptions of sense gratification and have taken exclusively to the Lord's loving service can understand who their real friend and companion is — Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa Himself."

Oh Lord help me follow in the footsteps of the intelligent persons mentioned her. Help me give up my attachments , help me give up my mundane expectations from people and relatives - those bind me down and block me in furthering my relationship withYou

Help me overcome bad habits that drive me to mundane sense gratification like the internet, like the dirty joy derived from gossip and criticism of devotees. I do not wish to be blocked by these in getting closer to You and serving You.

Please lift me from my past conditioning and habits that block me from performing unmotivated uninterrupted service to You. I wish to serve You and Your devotees , please help me to give myself exclusively to You.

Rukmini's humility: I am a woman of mundane qualities

From the  chapter "Krsna teases Rukmini "
Lord Sri Krsna teases Rukmini in this chapter and says that there is no comparison between Her Qualities and His and that she should find a husband more suitable for Her. He also said that He kidnapped Her only to cut down the pride of kings like Rukmi and Sisupala. But as for things such as body, home, wife and children , He is indifferent to them. - because he is the self satisfied Supreme Personality of Godhead transcendental to all material affairs.

When Rukmini hears this She begins to cry and being stunned in extreme fear, pain and sadness She falls unconcious. Lord Krsna feels compassion for her and picks Her from the floor and consoles Her. He says He did this only to see a frown on her face

Seeing that Lord Krsna had spoken only in jest she then says the following verse:


SB 10.60.34:
Śrī Rukmiṇī said: Actually, what You have said is true, O lotus-eyed one. I am indeed unsuitable for the almighty Personality of Godhead. What comparison is there between that Supreme Lord, who is master of the three primal deities and who delights in His own glory, and myself, a woman of mundane qualities whose feet are grasped by fools?

Rukmini devi inspite of being the Goddess of Fortune considered Herself unsuitable for the almighty Personality of Godhead.

How many times do I ever feel like that while offering any service to Their Lordships. whether it is organizing a festival or cooking, or doing the Girls Program or Mataji's Program. In the mood of Rukmini Devi I must consider my lack of qualification to do the service and in the humble mood of a servant pray for the Lord's blessings and mercy to give the ability to execute the service.

Its my great fortune that I have received a chance to offer any service to the Lord and His devotees.. Instead of considering myself qualified only to execute big services I must consider myself unqualified for any service at all to the Lordships.
