🪔 NBS #276 – Key Theme
Having forgotten that Krishna is the Supreme Personality of Godhead, they would constitute a great burden, and consequently it was necessary for Krishna to remove them from the earth. There is a popular saying that familiarity breeds contempt. To destroy the contemptuous members of His own dynasty, the Lord caused a quarrel among them. For this purpose, He arranged for Narada and other sages to display anger against the Karsnas, the members of His family.

🪔 NBS #277 – Key Theme: Real Lobha
When a devotee becomes greedy for Kṛṣṇa while hearing about the various ecstatic emotions displayed by a parikara(confidante) participating in Kṛṣṇa’s Vraja pastimes, the devotee thinks, “May this spiritual emotion also bloom in my heart.” Such meditation does not depend on validation from scripture or logic. If, however, uncertainty arises, then the desire to possess the spiritual emotions of a parikara cannot be called lobha.
