Kṛṣṇa Rewards According to Surrender
“[According to Lord Kṛṣṇa in the Bhagavad-gītā (4.11):] ‘As all surrender unto Me, I reward them accordingly. Everyone follows My path in all respects, O son of Pṛthā.’
What the purport teaches
- Kṛṣṇa says that He rewards everyone according to how they surrender unto Him.
- His response corresponds to each person's surrender, rather than being the same for everyone.
- Kṛṣṇa declares that everyone follows His path in all respects.
