Protecting the devotees...

Verse 1.6.5 to 1.6.10: Srila Naradamuni is explaining to Vyasadev as to what he did after the bhaktivedanta's left. He is explaining here, that his mother died when she was bitten by a snake. He was not therefore totally dependent on the Lord, thinking that everything is a special mercy of the Lord, the supreme benediction.

Srila Prabhupada is explaining that mundane prosperity is a material fever, and by the grace of the Lord when it is removed, it is like a special mercy of the Lord.

Interesting thing: Srimati Radharani is directly mentioned right in the middle of the Bhagavad-gita. Krishna talks about His internal energy, that it protects the devotees of the Lord. This internal energy is Srimati Radharani, she is always protecting the devotees of the Lord. So the same thing is mentioned here, the Lord very nicely protects His devotees, does not matter what situation they are in.
