Don't make any plan, just pursue Krishna’s plan

Compiled by Smita Krishna Dasa, Ahmedabad

A householder is praying to God, "My dear Lord, there may not be any theft case in my home this night. Please save me." Another man is praying, the thief, "My dear Lord, this night I shall commit burglary in that house. Please help me to get something." Now, what is Krishna's position? So Krishna has to satisfy so many prayers. How He adjusts, that is Krishna's intelligence. He gives everyone freedom. And everyone is given facilities, but still He's in botheration. Therefore Krishna advises to his devotees that "Don't plan anything. Please surrender unto Me. Just go under My plan; you'll be happy. You are making plan, you are unhappy; I am also unhappy. So many plans are coming daily, and I'll have to fulfill." But He's merciful.

So except the devotee of Krishna, everyone is simply giving Krishna trouble, trouble, trouble. Therefore, they are called duskritina, the miscreants. Don't make any plan. That will be simply giving trouble to Krishna. Accept Krishna's plan. Therefore, a devotee does not pray even for his maintenance. He doesn't give trouble to Krishna even for his bare maintenance.

If a devotee has no maintenance, he'll suffer, fasting; still he'll not ask Krishna. Of course Krishna is alert for His devotee but a devotee's principle is not to place any plan to Krishna. Let Krishna do. Simply we have to do according to the plan of Krishna.
