SRILA PRABHUPADA LILAMTRA AS IT IS

 
"Similarly, a devotee who is dependent on Krsna in everything, and if somebody does harm to him,
insults him, Krsna will never tolerate"
 
 So this is the fact, that Krsna will never tolerate insult on a devotee. He will never tolerate. The devotee may excuse, trnad api sunicena taror api sahisnuna. He may suffer. Just like Prahlada Maharaja, he was suffering. His father was torturing him. He was suffering, "All right." But Krsna never tolerated. "Oh, you have done so much. Now it is the time to kill him." This is the process. Krsna will tolerate. Even you insult Krsna, He will tolerate. But if you insult His devotee, He will never tolerate. Then you are finished. Then you are finished. Just like a big man. If you insult him, he may think "All right, let him." But if you insult or do something harm to his child, he will never tolerate. He will never tolerate. Similarly, a devotee who is dependent on Krsna in everything, and if somebody does harm to him, insults him, Krsna will never tolerate. That is explained in the Caitanya-caritamrta, vaisnava-aparadha. Tara madhye vaisnava-aparadha hati matta. So we should be very careful not to offend Vaisnava devotees. Not to offend. This is greatest offense. Therefore it is said vipra-sapa-vimudhanam. Vimudhanam. Those who are rascal, fools, they will want to try to insult real brahmana, Vaisnava. Then they are finished. Of course, a Vaisnava never curses. Tolerates. Trnad api sunicena taror... Vaisnava tolerates, but Visnu never tolerates.
