Do offeneses to devotees make Krishna stop loving us?
So we say that nothing can stop Krishna from loving us but we say if we offend devotees then there are severe reactions that come to us yes, those reactions are also expressions of Krishna's love for us and expressions of Krishna's love for his devotees so it's not that Krishna has stopped loving us it is because Krishna loves us that he doesn't want to do wrong things see, it's a simple example to understand this there are so many there are so many street children who are fighting with each other and one child may beat another child one child may abuse another child now my mother, she will be sad about it but she is not going to go and try to stop all this street fighting but if I go and beat my brother my mother will be furious with me why? because that is because she loves her brother and also because she loves me so her anger at me is not a proof of the absence of her love actually her anger is a proof of the presence of her so similarly when Krishna punishes us when we offend his devotees that is because we are all a part of his family and you see the parents become especially angry when they are fighting with each other so like that Krishna becomes very upset when we offend his devotees and his anger is an expression of his love both for the devotees when we are offending as well as for us because he doesn't want us to do wrong because he wants his correctness and it's not that Krishna completely rejects us as I said Krishna even if we are completely offended Krishna doesn't leave the heart and go away from the offended heart and Krishna will let some punishment come but after that Krishna will come back will actually get his soul back so love does not always mean that everything will be comfortable and cozy love also involves some discipline some correctness and that discipline and correctness does not mean the absence of love that is also you should see as evidence of the presence of love.
