Yudhishthira retires

[theist]

SB 1.15.40: Maharaja Yudhishthira at once relinquished all his garments, belt and ornaments of the royal order and became completely disinterested and unattached to everything.

SB 1.15.41: Then he amalgamated all the sense organs into the mind, then the mind into life, life into breathing, his total existence into the embodiment of the five elements, and his body into death. Then, as pure self, he became free from the material conception of life.

SB 1.15.42: Thus annihilating the gross body of five elements into the three qualitative modes of material nature, he merged them in one nescience and then absorbed that nescience in the self, Brahman, which is inexhaustible in all circumstances.

SB 1.15.43: After that, Maharaja Yudhishthira dressed himself in torn clothing, gave up eating all solid foods, voluntarily became dumb and let his hair hang loose. All this combined to make him look like an urchin or madman with no occupation. He did not depend on his brothers for anything. And, just like a deaf man, he heard nothing.

SB 1.15.44: He then started towards the north, treading the path accepted by his forefathers and great men, to devote himself completely to the thought of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. And he lived in that way wherever he went.

Thank you, theist, for engaging us in this manner. The Lord of Dharma has partially come as king yudhisthira, to teach us how to live and how to die. May be very timely, hare krasna, ys, mahaksadasa

Mahaksa,

 

Very timely indeed for alot of us. He saw the signs and did the needfull. He renounced fame power and opulence, all of which he had to a degree that we can't imagine. And he never looked back. How glorious.

Neither I am only the Lord of sudras, nor I am only the Lord of Brahman. I am the source of all energy in this universe in every era and everywhere.
