Kṛṣṇa Is My Lord in All Conditions
“My dear friend, just hear the decision of My mind. Kṛṣṇa is the Lord of My life in all conditions, whether He shows Me affection or kills Me by giving Me unhappiness.
What the purport teaches
- The speaker asks a dear friend to hear a firm decision of the mind.
- Kṛṣṇa remains the Lord of the speaker’s life, whether He shows affection or gives unhappiness.
- This devotion does not depend on receiving comfort. Even overwhelming distress does not change that commitment.
