Is There Any Parallel to the Love of God? by Radhanath Swami

Just like you are a common man. I am a common man. We play so many different roles right within our own life. When you're at home, you're a father. When you're at home, you're a husband. Do you deal with your wife the same way you deal with your children? It's different.

Any place he went in the world, there were thousands of people waiting for him with garlands, with sumptuous foodstuffs providing him the most wonderful facilities. He accomplished a lot did he not? Because he had complete faith in the holy name of God.

Sometimes he gives you knowledge, sometimes he makes you forget and sometimes knowledge, remembrance, forgetfulness, all three of them, if you are sincere, they are the mercy of Krishna, for your spiritual advancement.

Whatever decision you make, if it is based on that sincere prayer, then the decision is perfect. You can know that hundred percent. There's never a reason to be in doubt.

When blind lead the blind, they both fall into the ditch and suffer.

As you approach Krishna, Krishna will reward you, reveal himself accordingly. We are simultaneously his children and his servants. According to the quality in which we accept those positions Krishna will deal with us exactly.

They may have to pay their karma when they perform such inappropriate activities; but because they are taking such an important responsibility, the Lord gives them special protection even in those conditions, he gives them purification but he personally often comes to deliver them.

But it is described if there is no one of such an exalted karma to take the seat of Lord Brahma, oftentimes Lord Vishnu himself accepts the position of Lord Brahma. So sometimes Brahma is also Vishnu tattva in essence.

Krishna particularly and specifically put Prahlada in the family of Hiranyakashipu just to glorify him for all time to come, because of what he endured as far as the tests and the tribulations.
