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.
