Of course, any demon killed by Kṛṣṇa, he also gets salvation. But if the demon also gets salvation being killed, but just imagine what is the position of devotee to whom Kṛṣṇa is so affectionate. Just imagine what is his position. And His name is Bhakta-vatsala. Kṛṣṇa's name is "very much affectionate to the devotee."

Nṛsiṁha-deva—one thing for the Hiraṇyakaśipu, one thing for Prahlāda. So that is not God's discrimination, but that is natural. That is natural. He says. Kṛṣṇa says in the Bhagavad-gītā, samo 'haṁ sarva-bhūteṣu ([[Vanisource:BG 9.29 (1972)|BG 9.29]]): "I am equal to everyone." Otherwise, if He's not equal to everyone, how He can be God? If He's partial to somebody and He's affectionate to some . . . no. That is not God's business. God is equal to everyone. Samo 'haṁ sarva-bhūteṣu na me dveṣyo 'sti na priyaḥ: "Nobody is My enemy and nobody is My friend, but still," ye tu bhajanti māṁ bhaktyā teṣu te mayi ([[Vanisource:BG 9.29 (1972)|BG 9.29]]), "but anyone who is devotee, I take special care for him." The same thing that the cat carries in the mouth the cat as well as the mouse. The mouse, for mouse it is death, and for the cat it is pleasure. Similarly, Hiraṇyakaśipu, when he's captured by Nṛsiṁha-deva, He's death. Tava nakha. Kara-kamale nakham adbhuta-śṛṅgaṁ dalita hiraṇ . . . immediately. Finished. The same hand on the head of Prahlāda Mahārāja, "My dear child, be blessed." The same hand. This is the position.

So we should try to purify ourselves from sinful activity so that Prahlāda Mahā, Nṛsiṁha-deva may keep His hand on our, blessing. That is wanted. Then our life is successful. Otherwise nature will not excuse. Mṛtyuḥ sarva-haraś cāham ([[Vanisource:BG 10.34 (1972)|BG 10.34]]). Hiraṇyakaśipu will be killed. Demons will be . . . that is true business of Kṛṣṇa, paritrāṇāya sādhūnāṁ vināśāya ca duṣkṛtām ([[Vanisource:BG 4.8 (1972)|BG 4.8]]), to kill the demons. Of course, any demon killed by Kṛṣṇa, he also gets salvation. But if the demon also gets salvation being killed, but just imagine what is the position of devotee to whom Kṛṣṇa is so affectionate. Just imagine what is his position. And His name is Bhakta-vatsala. Kṛṣṇa's name is "very much affectionate to the devotee."

So you have taken Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement. Take it seriously. Follow the rules and regulations. Then Kṛṣṇa will give you all protection. Kaunteya pratijānīhi na me bhaktaḥ pranaśyati ([[Vanisource:BG 9.31 (1972)|BG 9.31]]). If you are sincere devotee . . . it is very easy thing to become devotee. Simply four things: man-manā bhava mad-bhakto mad-yājī māṁ namaskuru ([[Vanisource:BG 18.65 (1972)|BG 18.65]]). Four things. A child can; they are learning. They're also offering a flower, mad-yājī. This is worship. If a child can do it, you cannot do it? What is the difficulty? If you offer a flower to the Deity, if you offer your obeisances . . . the child, it's learning. Don't think it is going for nothing. Everything is calculated, "Ah, here is this child. He is offering obeisances." Credit. "He's offering flower." Credit. This is . . . (laughter) Yes. From the childhood, if one becomes . . . simply deposits credit, then someday it will be a big balance, big good bank balance. So therefore this institution means to give everyone the chance to do these four things: man-manā bhava mad-bhakto mad-yājī māṁ namaskuru ([[Vanisource:BG 18.65 (1972)|BG 18.65]]). And Kṛṣṇa says maṁ evaiṣyasi asaṁśayaḥ ([[Vanisource:BG 8.7 (1972)|BG 8.7]]): "Without any doubt, simply by doing these four things, you'll come back to Me." So what is the difficulty? Do it properly and be happy.
