Yes correct mataji...
As long as there is material body, pain will be there. But a devotee tolerates it and carries on with his spiritual duties with determination. Whereas a non-devotee runs away from his duties. Thats the only diffference. Thats why in Gita krishna says:
BG: " Sukha dukha same krtva labha alabhau jaya ajayau .." .. It means pains and pleasure keeps coming. A devotee becos of his spiritual advancement has got the spiritual power to tolerate it.
Dont just base ur understanding based on theoritical book knowledge. Conclusion is finalized when we closely associate with parama vaishnavas and when they share their experiences with us. Thanks
Lords dealings with His devotees are always glorious.Externally it looks different.For example cat catches its enemy rat as well as its baby there is lot of difference in that.
Yes bodies of acharyas are not material, but even they who are above karmic reaction suffer the karmic reactions of their disciples thats why a disciple must keep his vows strictly to don't let his master suffer.
one living entity cant ever blame onother for his karmic reactions,
otherwise,low of karma would be injustice.
we harvest what we plant.
low of action and reaction is perfect low of justice and sri yama is a perfect judge.
anyway ,comparing to others ,devotee of lord is always protected when bad karma comes,
thats why devotees like prahrada maharaja or sri haridasa dont have any fear.
all universe is god property ,bodies of non devotees and devotees to,
but only difference is that god protects his devotees from material miseries and let those to suffer who are not.
this is one of many reasons why everybody should become devotee of lord.
everyday many non devotees in all religions are cured from god,
because their prayers in helpless positions with little faith.
what to talk about those who are completely surrendered to lord.
thinking that devotee of lord are just humans like others, can be just in a joke story.
devotees of lord are special living beings with special protection from the god.
others can just dream about it.
when god protects his devotee ,even death himself cant approach ,
what to talk about disease ?
even non devotee with little faith in god can be cured from disease,
what to talk about someone with devotion.
god is best doctor, best friend, best father and mother, best guru, and lover to.
thats why he is the best person in the universe.
