Lectures from a Disciple, Vol. 2, Overcoming Adversity, p. 179
Haridasa Thakura shows us how a devotee does not give up his Lord under any circumstance. Although Haridasa was beaten in twenty-two marketplaces, he did not give up chanting Hare Krishna. We should not give up chanting either. And although Haridasa was beaten, the Lord protected him, even though Haridasa did not ask for such protection, by protecting Haridasa's devotional remembrance. It may appear that Haridasa was suffering, but he was absorbed in thoughts of Krishna and did not experience the pain.
Srila Prabhupada
Lecture on Bhagavad-gita 2.15, London, August 21, 1971
We can also become like Krsna along with Krsna. Not outside. We can be living force along with Krsna. So Krsna is also very much anxious to take us back to Him. Therefore He comes. Yada yada hi dharmasya glanir bhavati bharata tadatmanam srjamy aham [Bg 4.7]. When these rascals forget that unless he goes back to home, goes back to Krsna, he'll never be happy, that is the discrepancy of occupational duty. They have come here, krsna-bahirmukha hana bhoga vancha kare [Prema-vivarta], he has come here to enjoy, to lord it over the material nature, and has become entangled. So Krsna comes, descends, to save us, to give us shelter at His lotus feet so that we may also become immortal like Krsna, full of bliss and full of knowledge. That is called amrtatva.
