00:00One way we see the Arjun and Krishna friendship and Krishna and Sudama's friendship
00:05and then we see our current friendship which is more transactional.
00:09So I just want to understand the difference.
00:11What is being changed from that time to now?
00:14You have in fact completed your own answer by mentioning Krishna and Arjun.
00:17We very well know that they were related in more ways than one.
00:22You know of Krishna's sister, right?
00:24How was Arjun related to her?
00:26He was her husband.
00:27And you know how did the alliance come about?
00:30Yes, yes, I am.
00:31The elder brother, Balram, didn't want it to happen.
00:34So Krishna actually got into something very dramatic.
00:37Fill me by today's standards and helped Arjun escape away, lope away with Subhadra.
00:43Yes, it's good to have fun.
00:45It's also good to, you know, arrange mates and girlfriends for your boyfriends, for your friends.
00:51That too we see happening there.
00:52But your friend should also be the one who can deliver the right insight when the moment asks for it.
01:00You cannot have somebody you are having night outs with, you are doing people watching or girl watching or boy
01:06watching with.
01:07But when it comes to that moment of crunch, that decisive moment when a very significant decision has to be
01:14made.
01:14To be or not to be, to fight or not to fight, to kill or not to kill.
01:18And you find that your friend is clueless.
01:20So your friend must be good fun, yes, obviously, but should also have a center you can look up to.
01:27That fellow must have some of the inner light of Krishna.
01:32Otherwise, in the moment of your darkness, you will find your friend is no good.
