Lord always protects!

Verse 1.16.16 (Kasi Prji):

* This shloka shows how Krishna takes care of His devotees, who are fully surrendered.
* Even in BG, Krishna says: I reciprocate, as all surrender unto me!
* For the Pandavas too, it is seen how Krishna saved them at all times.
* We also, under material circumstances, have seen how by praying unto the Lord, have been saved so many times by the Lord.
* Actually, He is saving us every moment by giving us food, air and life too.
* We also see in many pastimes how Krishna is controlled by his devotees.
- eg: Krishna bringing Nanda Maharaj's shoes
- eg: Krishna washes the feet of brahmanas in Maharaj Yudhistira's Rajasuya Yajna
- so many more...
* But Krishna longs to be controlled by His devotees and His pure devotees obtain such a chance.
* In BG: janma karma....so arjuna
* Krishna is so merciful that even though we have come away from Him, He always comes with us as the Supersoul, trying to protect us all the time.
* Story in this case: man with 4 wifes...
- first wife rejects that she cannot accompany him in his death (analogy: first is our own body)
- second also rejects, I'll remarry (second is our name, fame etc)
- third also rejects (third is relatives, friends etc)
- fourth says I'll come with you. (none other than the Supreme Lord, He comes with us as the Super soul, he is so merciful, He never leaves us, so very compassionate)
* Same unlimited compassion can be seen in the Lord's pure devotees too.
- Srila Prabhupada is a most wonderful example.
* So, Krishna is so merciful, if we fully surrender to Him, He will take care of us at all times!
