The estimate is given how much this degeneracy is broken in our relativistic potential model, and it is analytically shown that expectation values of a commutator between the lowest order Hamiltonian and ${\\vec L}^{~2}$ are of the order of $1/m_Q$ with a heavy quark mass $m_Q$. It turns out that nonrelativistic approximation of heavy quark system has a rotational symmetry and hence degeneracy among states with the same $L$.
