Dear Debipriya,
😊thank you for the nice update😊
It looks like Sudama ( according to SP's idea😕) chooses his own definition of bhakti over what Krishna tried to explain to him.
Here Sudama seems not to understand that a true surrender to Krishna means
surrendering his
mind & intellect to Krishna what practically means
NO "BUTs". Whatever Krishna says it should be accepted by Sudama with no 'but' because using the word "but' by Sudama means applying his own intellect/reasoning which equals to not trusting the perfect/absolute wisdom/knowledge of Krishna.
In other words Sudama's present idea of bhakti is not nishkam(selfless) as he chooses his brahmin dharm over friendship with Krishna, so his
self interest of following "right path" is more important than Krishna's feelings.
And for me it feels like Sudama lost his spontaneity, some rules took over his spontaneous innocent love for Krishna...
Anyway I really like new Sushila , I think she could even make a very nice new Rukmini as she has kindness and softness in her acting and she is quite beautiful, especially her eyes are very nice.😊
