TRANSLATION
What else is there to say about the residential house of the Pandavas?
Sti Krsna, the Lord of everything, acted as your minister. He used to enter
that house as if it were His own, and He did not take any care of
Duryodhana’s house.
PURPORT
According to the Gaudiya acintya-bhedabheda-tattva at i any-
thing which satisfies the senses of the Supreme Lord, Sri Krsna, is also
Sri Krsna. For example, Sri Vrndavana-dhama is nondifferent from Sri
Krsna (tad-dhama-vrndavanam) because at Vrndavana the Lord enjoys the
transcendental bliss of His internal potency. Similarly, the house of the
Pandavas was also the source of transcendental bliss for the Lord. It is
mentioned here that the Lord identified the house with His own Self. Thus
the house of the Pandavas was as good as Vrndavana, and Vidura should
not have given up that place of transcendental bliss. Therefore the reason
for his quitting the house was not exactly family misunderstanding;
rather, Vidura took the opportunity to meet Rsi Maitreya and discuss
transcendental knowledge. For a saintly person like Vidura, any dis-
turbance due to worldly affairs is insignificant. Such disturbances,
however, are sometimes favorable for higher realization, and therefore
Vidura took advantage of a family misunderstanding in order to meet
Maitreya Rsi.
