Krishna reveals Himself only to those who possess nothing but hunger for His eternal service.Listen — Srila Prabhupada Uvaca
Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 1.13.11 — June 2, 1974, Geneva 740602SB-GENEVA [27:29 Minutes] SB-01.13.11_740602SB-GENEVA Nitāi: Oṁ namo bhagavate vāsudevāya. Oṁ namo bhagavate vāsudevāya. Oṁ namo bhagavate vāsudevāya. [Prabhupāda and devotees repeat] [leads chanting of verse, etc.] api naḥ suhṛdas tāta bāndhavāḥ kṛṣṇa-devatāḥ dṛṣṭāḥ śrutā vā yadavaḥ sva-puryāṁ sukham āsate [SB 1.13.11] [break] [02:45] Translation: "My uncle, you must have visited Dvārakā.
In that holy place there are our friends and well-wishers, the descendants of Yadu, who are always rapt in the service of Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa. You might have seen them or heard about them. Are they all living happily in their abodes?" Prabhupāda: api naḥ suhṛdas tāta bāndhavāḥ kṛṣṇa-devatāḥ dṛṣṭāḥ śrutā vā yadavaḥ sva-puryāṁ sukham āsate [SB 1.13.11] So Yudhiṣṭhira Mahārāja, after meeting Vidura, the first inquiry was about the family of Kṛṣṇa. That is Kṛṣṇa consciousness.
He was always thinking of Kṛṣṇa. Now, because he has come back home by touring different places of pilgrimage... Dvārakā is also one of the celebrated place of pilgrimage. So he expected that "Vidura must have gone to Dvārakā.
And when he had gone to Dvārakā, he must have some news from Kṛṣṇa's place." So Kṛṣṇa is the friend, most intimate friend of the Pāṇḍavas. Therefore he says, naḥ. Naḥ means "our." Suhṛdaḥ. Suhṛdaḥ, this word, "always thinking of others' good," that is called suhṛdaḥ.
The heart is not contaminated. Hṛdaḥ means "heart," and su means "very good." So Kṛṣṇa says also that suhṛda sarva-bhūtānām [Bg. 5.29]. And here Yudhiṣṭhira Mahārāja confirms, naḥ suhṛdaḥ. Actually, Kṛṣṇa is suhṛda.
Suhṛda means well-wisher. As the father is the well-wisher of the sons or intimate friend, well-wisher... Here in the material world, although I may be your well-wisher, you may be well-wisher, but there is some interest. Unless there is some interest for my personal benefit, I cannot become your suhṛda.
This is material suhṛda. But spiritual suhṛda is different. Spiritual suhṛda means everyone is suffering for want of spiritual consciousness, Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Therefore attempt should be made so that everyone becomes Kṛṣṇa conscious.
