Hare Krsna
Please accept my humble obeisance. All glories to Srila Prabhupada
Bhagavan Sri Krishna is very caring about His Bhaktas . But, He is also playful. He has the habit of testing the Bhaktas. When the tested Bhakta remains steadfast in his/her Krishna-bhakti and calls for Bhagavan’s help, the divine intervention takes place. Really foolish are those People who when being tested abandons Bhagavan and move on to other “easy” Gods or Human-Gods.
Whatever good or bad we are achieving in this life, are the results of our past deeds ( in previous births or during early stages of this birth itself). By testing, Bhagavan provides the Bhakta with an opportunity to escape from the past sins. Loyal Krishna-Bhaktas escape with just a token punishment and comes out clean and fresh. Tremendous success awaits for them. See the lives of Prahlada , Druva and Arjuna. They all faced tests in life but came out successfully with the help of Sri Krishna.
Bhagavan Sri Krishna says in Srimad Bhagavad Gita (14.26-27):
“One who renders service to Me( Krishna) with love and devotion, can rise above materialism and becomes qualified to attain Me .And I am the basis of the formless *Brahman* which is the ultimate happiness, and which is immortal, imperishable and eternal). ”
