<span class="link">[[Vanisource:SB 3.15.36|SB 3.15.36, Purport]]: </span><div style="display: inline;" class="purport text"><p style="display: inline;">To a devotee, any heavy punishment is tolerable but the one which effects forgetfulness of the Supreme Lord. The doormen, who were also devotees, could understand the punishment meted out to them, for they were conscious of the great offense they had committed by not allowing the sages to enter Vaikuṇṭhaloka. In the lowest species of life, including the animal species, forgetfulness of the Lord is very prominent.</p><br />

<div class="heading">Sometimes, in order to keep law and order, the government employs its police force, and thus punishment is meted out to the rebellious citizens.<br />
</div><br />
<span class="link">[[Vanisource:SB 4.11.18|SB 4.11.18, Purport]]: </span><div style="display: inline;" class="purport text"><p style="display: inline;">The word durvibhāvyā means "inconceivable by our tiny brain," and vibhakta-vīryaḥ means "divided in varieties of potencies." This is the right explanation of the display of creative energies in the material world. We can better understand the mercy of God by an example: a government state is always supposed to be merciful, but sometimes, in order to keep law and order, the government employs its police force, and thus punishment is meted out to the rebellious citizens. Similarly, the Supreme Personality of Godhead is always merciful and full of transcendental qualities, but certain individual souls have forgotten their relationship with Kṛṣṇa and have endeavored to lord it over material nature.</p><br />

<div class="heading">Punishment meted out by the Supreme Personality of Godhead is accepted by the devotee as the greatest mercy.<br />
</div><br />
<span class="link">[[Vanisource:SB 8.22.4|SB 8.22.4, Translation and Purport]]: </span><div style="display: inline;" class="trans text"><p style="display: inline;">Although a father, mother, brother or friend may sometimes punish one as a well-wisher, they never punish their subordinate like this. But because You are the most worshipable Lord, I regard the punishment You have given me as most exalted.</p><br />
</div><br />
<div class="purport text"><p>Punishment meted out by the Supreme Personality of Godhead is accepted by the devotee as the greatest mercy.</p><br />
:tat te 'nukampāṁ susamīkṣamāṇo<br />
:bhuñjāna evātma-kṛtaṁ vipākam<br />
:hṛd-vāg-vapurbhir vidadhan namas te<br />
:jīveta yo mukti-pade sa dāya-bhāk<br />
<p>"One who seeks Your compassion and thus tolerates all kinds of adverse conditions due to the karma of his past deeds, who engages always in Your devotional service with his mind, words and body, and who always offers obeisances to You is certainly a bona fide candidate for liberation." ([[Vanisource:SB 10.14.8|SB 10.14.8]]) A devotee knows that so-called punishment by the Supreme Personality of Godhead is only His favor to correct His devotee and bring him to the right path. Therefore the punishment awarded by the Supreme Personality of Godhead cannot be compared to even the greatest benefit awarded by one's material father, mother, brother or friend.</p><br />

<p>Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: They shaved the Muslim's head. (laughter) Like with Rukmī. Same punishment was meted out by Lord Kṛṣṇa to Rukmī. We have to follow our predecessors. Kṛṣṇa is the original predecessor. So far, I have not written anything to them because I think they should first send their report. You've been speaking... Actually, what you've been saying is very encouraging. Just like yesterday you said that they have done right, but I'm not communicating any of this to Māyāpura.</p><br />
<p>Prabhupāda: No, no, no. This is not to...</p><br />
<p>Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: They should first of all send a report before we tell them anything, because we should get the actual facts from them.</p><br />
