HOW DEVOTION IS
REACHED AND HOW
HE PROTECTS THE
DEVOTEE
Developing the state of non-
attachment, being equally disposed
to all beings, being unconcerned by
success and failure, fully absorbed in
Godhood, one becomes His devotee.
In that state alone does one
understand the essence of Kṛṣṇa.
Once one understands this, one
merges into Kṛṣṇa consciousness.
When one is in Kṛṣṇa consciousness,
the devotee, even if he is engaged in
worldly activities, is protected by the
grace and compassion of Kṛṣṇa.
Without any difficulty such a
devotee reaches the ultimate reality.
You think that the survival instinct is essential in order to exist. You will realize the futility of the survival instinct only when you surrender. After that, you will automatically realize that you can live without the instinct to survive or the instinct to possess. You will realize that you can live in the material world without these instincts ruling you. This is what Kṛṣṇa means when He says that He will protect you. His energy takes care. When you surrender, a space is created that allows the power of coincidence, the power of extraordinary possibilities to happen. Automatically things fall into place. Automatically you are taken care of by the energy of Śrī Kṛṣṇa.

When you believe that you are intelligent enough to use your mind and go your own way, you are asking for trouble. Kṛṣṇa says you will perish if you follow your mind and senses instead of listening to Him.
