Why does the Lord dislike punishing those who do wrong?

Forced to punish those who do wrong, the Lord feels no joy in doing so, for all beings are originally tiny parts of His Person.

He is no less like lightning to sinners, and gentler than a rose to those who are faithful to Him. Those who do wrong, led astray by bad company and by advice that opposes the order established by the Lord, thus become liable to punishment.

The surest path to happiness is to live by the principles laid down by the Lord and never disobey His laws, which are defined in the Vedas, the original holy scriptures, for all forgetful souls.

Why did God say that his dynasty was a burden?

When Krishna spoke of the burden of the Yadu dynasty, He was referring to the enormous number of members of his family, descended from him, numbering several million, which certainly led to a considerable increase in the earth's population. But because all of them proceeded from the Lord Himself through His plenary emanations, they represented a source of immense pleasure for the planet.

Thus, when Lord Krishna spoke of them as a burden, He was thinking of their imminent demise. Indeed, all of his family members were incarnations of various celestial beings, all of whom were to leave the planet with the Lord. Therefore, Krishna's words about the unbearable burden the Yadu dynasty represents for the earth must be understood as referring to the burden of separation.

Lord Krishna explains how the separation will occur: They will quarrel among themselves in drunkenness, their eyes copper-colored from drinking a drink called “madhu.” Only then will they leave this world. Otherwise, nothing could cause their downfall. This incident will occur after my disappearance.

According to His will, the Lord appears and disappears with His companions. They are never subject to the laws of material nature. No one could annihilate Krishna's family members, nor could they die a natural death.

Then, the only way to make them disappear was to simulate a fratricidal fight among themselves, as if they were fighting over excessive drinking. This mock fight would also occur by Lord Krishna's will, for no external cause could have brought it about. The Yadu dynasty would become drunk and quarrel solely by the Lord's will, and for no other reason.

The Lord's devotees and companions are all completely submissive to Him. Thus they are sublime instruments in His hands, which He can use as He wishes. Moreover, pure devotees themselves find great pleasure in participating in the Lord's pastimes, for they all desire to see Him happy. Devotees never seek to assert their individuality in independence; on the contrary, they use their individuality to satisfy the Lord's desires. This cooperation between devotees and the Lord makes the pastimes of Lord Krishna perfect.
