He was thinking that by showing that compassion he&#039;ll be, I mean to say, eulogized by Kṛṣṇa. But Kṛṣṇa condemned it. Yes. Just the opposite. In other words, Kṛṣṇa is very strict also. That is the qualification of Kṛṣṇa and His associates. Vajrād api kaṭhora and kusumād api kamala. Softer than the flower and harder than the thunderbolt. Two sides. When Kṛṣṇa is strict He&#039;s harder than the thunderbolt, and when He&#039;s soft, He&#039;s softer than the flower. These two examples are given. Vajrād api kaṭhora, kusumād api kamala. So Kṛṣṇa is not lenient to His friend or to His devotee. Because that leniency will not help him, will not help him. Sometimes He appears to be very hard for the devotee, but He&#039;s not hard. Just like father sometimes becomes very strict. That is good. That will be proved, how Kṛṣṇa&#039;s hardness will prove his salvation. At the end Arjuna will admit, &quot;By Your mercy, my illusion is now over.&quot; So this sort of stricture by..., from God on the devotee is sometimes misunderstood. Because we are always accustomed to accept what is immediately very pleasing, but sometimes we&#039;ll find that we are not getting which is immediately very pleasing, but we should not be disappointed. We shall stick to Kṛṣṇa. That is Arjuna&#039;s position.

That is the qualification of Kṛṣṇa and His associates. Vajrād api kaṭhora and kusumād api kamala. Softer than the flower and harder than the thunderbolt. Two sides.

&amp;lt;span class=&amp;quot;q_heading&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Lord Kṛṣṇa did not approve of the so-called compassion of Arjuna for his kinsmen.&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span class=&amp;quot;BG-statistics&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Vanisource:BG 2.2|BG 2.2, Purport]]:&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; In the presence of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Arjuna&amp;#039;s lamentation for his kinsmen is certainly unbecoming, and therefore Kṛṣṇa expressed His surprise with the word kutaḥ, &amp;quot;wherefrom.&amp;quot; Such impurities were never expected from a person belonging to the civilized class of men known as Āryans. The word Āryan is applicable to persons who know the value of life and have a civilization based on spiritual realization. Persons who are led by the material conception of life do not know that the aim of life is realization of the Absolute Truth, Viṣṇu, or Bhagavān, and they are captivated by the external features of the material world, and therefore they do not know what liberation is. Persons who have no knowledge of liberation from material bondage are called non-Āryans. Although Arjuna was a kṣatriya, he was deviating from his prescribed duties by declining to fight. This act of cowardice is described as befitting the non-Āryans. Such deviation from duty does not help one in the progress of spiritual life, nor does it even give one the opportunity to become famous in this world. Lord Kṛṣṇa did not approve of the so-called compassion of Arjuna for his kinsmen.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span class=&amp;quot;q_heading&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Now in so many words, Lord Kṛṣṇa has proved His statements against Arjuna&amp;#039;s so-called compassion.&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Now in so many words, He has proved His statements against Arjuna&amp;#039;s so-called compassion.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: &amp;quot;Arjuna was trying to deviate from his prescribed duties, declining to fight, although he was a kṣatriya or warrior. This act of cowardice is described as befitting the non-Āryans. Such deviation from duty does not help one in the progress of spiritual life, nor does it even give one the opportunity of becoming famous in this world. Lord Kṛṣṇa did not approve of the so-called compassion of Arjuna for his kinsmen.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Prabhupāda: So-called compassion. He was thinking that by showing that compassion he&amp;#039;ll be, I mean to say, eulogized by Kṛṣṇa. But Kṛṣṇa condemned it. Yes. Just the opposite. In other words, Kṛṣṇa is very strict also. That is the qualification of Kṛṣṇa and His associates. Vajrād api kaṭhora and kusumād api kamala. Softer than the flower and harder than the thunderbolt. Two sides. When Kṛṣṇa is strict He&amp;#039;s harder than the thunderbolt, and when He&amp;#039;s soft, He&amp;#039;s softer than the flower. These two examples are given. Vajrād api kaṭhora, kusumād api kamala. So Kṛṣṇa is not lenient to His friend or to His devotee. Because that leniency will not help him, will not help him. Sometimes He appears to be very hard for the devotee, but He&amp;#039;s not hard. Just like father sometimes becomes very strict. That is good. That will be proved, how Kṛṣṇa&amp;#039;s hardness will prove his salvation. At the end Arjuna will admit, &amp;quot;By Your mercy, my illusion is now over.&amp;quot; So this sort of stricture by..., from God on the devotee is sometimes misunderstood. Because we are always accustomed to accept what is immediately very pleasing, but sometimes we&amp;#039;ll find that we are not getting which is immediately very pleasing, but we should not be disappointed. We shall stick to Kṛṣṇa. That is Arjuna&amp;#039;s position. Go on.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;/div&gt;</summary>
