A devotee is more merciful than Krishna

So if you become demon, then you are also infected with asuya, envious of Krsna. Then you cannot understand. Then you cannot understand. Krsna is very strict, but the devotees are very lenient. Krsna doesn’t want to speak even with demons. But the devotees are so kind, they go to the demons and pray, “Kindly hear. Kindly hear about Krsna.”
Therefore a devotee is more merciful than Krsna. Krsna doesn’t speak to the demons. Unless you are one who is bhakta… Just like Bhagavad-gita was spoken to Arjuna, Krsna never speaks. Krsna was very strict. But the devotees, Krsna has said, About Bhagavad-gita He says, “One who speaks this confidential knowledge amongst the bhaktas…” He recommends the bhaktas. But the devotees, they are so merciful, they go to the abhaktas, transgressing the order of Krsna, because they are so merciful: “All right, Krsna has rejected them. Let me try. Let me try.” This is the position of a bhakta. They are not only unenvious to God, but they are also unenvious… Therefore their name is most merciful.

(Bhagavad-gita 9.1 — Vrndavana, April 17, 1975)
