We should take protection only of Kṛṣṇa. Otherwise, our all protective measures will fail. Rāvaṇa . . . when Rāvaṇa was attacked by Rāmacandra . . . he was a great devotee of Lord Śiva, so he began to pray. Because life and death question, he was praying to Lord Śiva, "Please save me. I have served you so much." Rāvaṇa was so great devotee of Lord Śiva that he sometimes cut his head and offered to Lord Śiva. So . . . and Śiva was thinking very deeply what to do. And Pārvatī was requesting that, "Your such a great devotee, he is in danger, and he is asking your help, and you are sitting idly? You are doing nothing? How is that?" Lord Śiva replied that, "It is not possible to protect him. It is not possible for me." So as a woman, sympathetic, she came out, and that, "If you cannot protect, then I shall go and protect Rāvaṇa." But she also could not protect. Therefore there is a . . . it is a verse, māre kṛṣṇa rākhe ke: "If Kṛṣṇa desires to kill somebody, nobody can protect.".

Don't think that a devotee will not have enemies. A devotee may have anything. Oh, he may be attacked by enemies. He may be attacked with severe type of diseases and so many things. But he will be protected. That is the difference between a devotee and a nondevotee. A nondevotee is neglected. That is stated by Prahlāda Mahārāja, that people may discover so many antibiotics or antiseptics for giving protection, or "anti" measures, but unless he is given protection by Kṛṣṇa, all those "anti" devices will not protect, help him. That is certain.

Therefore we should take protection only of Kṛṣṇa. Otherwise, our all protective measures will fail. Rāvaṇa . . . when Rāvaṇa was attacked by Rāmacandra . . . he was a great devotee of Lord Śiva, so he began to pray. Because life and death question, he was praying to Lord Śiva, "Please save me.

So as a woman, sympathetic, she came out, and that, "If you cannot protect, then I shall go and protect Rāvaṇa." But she also could not protect. Therefore there is a . . . it is a verse, māre kṛṣṇa rākhe ke: "If Kṛṣṇa desires to kill somebody, nobody can protect." And rākhe kṛṣṇa māre ke: "And if Kṛṣṇa protects somebody, nobody can kill." This is the process. Mattaś ca martyān atha sarvataś ca.
