God loves all beings without exception and does not allow anyone to shed blood. Has He not commanded: Thou shalt not kill?

This command is addressed to humans, whom He asks not to kill any living being: human, animal, or plant. As for the righteous, the Supreme Lord, Krishna, in His form as the Holy Spirit, Himself personally protects them.

On the other hand, the righteous who suffer the evil deeds of the wicked, know that their suffering is due to their karma.

Lord Krishna comes at regular intervals to a planet in a given galaxy, just as He came to Earth 5,000 years ago, for three major reasons. He comes to deliver and protect His devotees, to annihilate the demonic miscreants, and to restore spirituality.

Lord Krishna says: I appear from age to age to deliver My devotees, to annihilate the unbelievers, and to reestablish the principles of spirituality.

You can proclaim it to the entire world, My devotee will never perish. I am impartial to all.

When one becomes a pure devotee of Krishna, there is no longer any question of danger, for, of course, Lord Krishna protects us all.

As the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Krishna shows love to all spirit souls, tiny fragments of His divine Person, who are all integral parts of Him. Nevertheless, He showers His devotees, His righteous servants, with special care; this is why Lord Krishna says, “My devotee will never perish.”

Lord Krishna adds: Surrender yourself to Me, and I will take you under My protection. I promise, and I must, always protect anyone who surrenders completely to Me.

Krishna alone can liberate the spirit soul embodied and conditioned by matter and illusory energy. Without His superior help, no one will be able to sever the bonds that bind them to matter. But to obtain such divine help, one need only serve Krishna with love and devotion, and adopt Krishna consciousness or God consciousness.

Krishna, who is the Master of illusory energy, may well, out of affection for a being who is His pure devotee, His righteous servant, His beloved son, out of infinite mercy for the surrendered soul, command this invincible force to release its grip and restore the soul's freedom. Therefore, it is only by surrendering oneself to the Supreme Lord that one can escape the powerful clutches of material nature.

The Lord advises: Do not associate with unbelieving materialists.
