Arjuna never requested Kṛṣṇa that "My dear Kṛṣṇa, You are the Supreme Personality of Godhead, and we are in so much difficulties. You cannot give us relief?" No, you will never find. You will never find. He is . . . Kṛṣṇa is always with Arjuna, but you'll never find they have requested.

When one is in perfect knowledge of God, he does not ask anything. If he is put into difficulty, he says, tat te 'nukampāṁ su-samīkṣamāṇo ([[Vanisource:SB 10.14.8|SB 10.14.8]]).

He takes that difficult position as mercy of God. That is kevala bhakta, pure devotion. A pure devotee . . . sometimes devotees are also put into the difficulties, because this is . . . this platform is the platform of difficulties. So there is no, I mean to say, hesitation to say that, "No, a devotee will not be in difficulty." No. Just like Arjuna, a personal friend of Kṛṣṇa, but he was in difficulty—there was a fight between him and his brothers. So this world is full of difficulties, as I have already explained. But the devotee, when he's in difficulty, he does not express it. Just like see Arjuna: Arjuna never requested Kṛṣṇa that "My dear Kṛṣṇa, You are the Supreme Personality of Godhead, and we are in so much difficulties. You cannot give us relief?" No, you will never find. You will never find. He is . . . Kṛṣṇa is always with Arjuna, but you'll never find they have requested, "Kṛṣṇa, I am Your friend, and I am in so much difficulty." This is pure devotion, kevalayā bhakta. I love God. God may give me any kind of trouble—I don't mind; I will suffer patiently. That is Caitanya Mahāprabhu's Śikṣāṣṭaka (8), those who have read.

<div class="quote_verse">
:āśliṣya vā pāda-ratāṁ pinaṣṭu mām 
:marma-hatāṁ karotu vā
</div>

"My dear Lord, You trample me down as You like, or You embrace me as You like, or You make me broken-hearted, not being present before me, because I want to see You. I don't mind." Yathā tathā vā vidadhātu lampaṭo. Just like a debauched husband treats his wife very neglectfully. So He's using this very word: lampaṭo. Lampaṭo means debauched. So Caitanya Mahāprabhu offering this prayer, in the role of Rādhārāṇī. There were sometimes spoils between Kṛṣṇa and Rādhā, as that is possible in love affairs. So in the position of Rādhārāṇī He is requesting Kṛṣṇa, "My dear Kṛṣṇa, You can treat me in any way You like, either You love me or You trample me, You kick me, but I cannot forget You are my always unconditionally the Lord." This is pure love, not that "Kṛṣṇa, give me such and such things then I shall love You," condition. No. No condition: "I love you." That is love. So that is required. If you become situated in that pure love, without any motive, anyābhilāsita-sūnyam jñāna-karmādy-anāvrtam ([[Vanisource:CC Madhya 19.167|CC Madhya 19.167]]).
