Lectures and Commentaries on Srimad Bhagavatam Canto 7, made in Vrindavan (India)
In the Seventh Canto of Śrīmad Bhāgavatam, there is a very interesting dialogue recited by Śrī Śukadeva Gosvāmī about the liberation of Śiśupāla who was killed by Kṛṣṇa during Yudhiṣṭhira Mahārāja’s Rājasūya-yajña. Śiśupāla was Kṛṣṇa’s cousin, but hated Kṛṣṇa since his very birth. At the first sight of Kṛṣṇa, he would start insulting Him, but Kṛṣṇa always remained tolerant, not showing any sign of disturbance. Kṛṣṇa had promised Śiśupāla’s mother, his maternal Aunt, “I will tolerate one hundred abuses from your son, but the day he crosses this limit, I will take action.”
The modern marketing research says that packaging and product are one. This is surely true in case of human beings. Hypocrisy, the packaging, sells better than the bare truth. Sukadev Gosvami was free from packaging and thus misunderstood by people, who were making fun of him.
