Full faith in Lord Krsnas protection

Sri Bhagavad Gita (The Hidden Treasure of Devotion)
By B.R. Sridhara Maharaj

TEXT 31

ksipram bhavati dharmatma
sasvac-chantim nigacchati
kaunteya pratijanihi
na me bhaktah pranasyati
 
0 son of Kunti, declare to the that My devotee is never vanquished! or son of Kunti, declare to the world that My devotee is vanquished. One who declares this swiftly becomes and attains eternal joy.

Commentary

second interpretation of this verse was revealed to Bhaktivinoda Thakur in a dream.

Srimad Bhagavatam (11.11.32) Lord Sri Krsna says:

ajnayaivam gunan dosan
mayadistan api svakan
dharman samtyajya yah sarvan
mam bhajet sa cha sattamah

The best of the saintly persons are those who have -passed the forms of duties that I, Myself, have recommended in the scriptures for the people in general. Although it is My directive, they cross it and render loving service to Me."

In society, one must obey the law, but there is also the situation of crossing the law to show fidelity to the king.

one risks his life and reputation, and crossing the general law enters the royal chamber to combat the enemy, then he will be considered the most loyal servitor.

Similarly the Lord is saying. I have already given some directions for the people in general. Do this, don�t do that, don�t cross these laws etc.

But if for My interest anyone takes, the risk of committing sin, then he should be considered the best of my devotees

So, Arjuna, go and' declare it, promise to the public that the ananya-bhak (verse 30), the exclusively devoted persons, will never come to ruin.

Then you will get the benefit. You will become dharmatma, religious, and attain eternal divine happiness. The ananya-bhak, the exclusive devotees, have already crossed the threshold of dharma, the standard of dutifulness, and taken the risk to throw themselves fully into my service. Sarva dharman parityajya mam ekam sarar:tam vraja (18.66). There is no question of them 'becoming' virtuous or religious as they long before surpassed dharma and took the risk and entered into prema-dharma, My loving service, transcending both piety and sinfulness."
