Suppose somebody is cashier in our institution. He's getting a thousands of dollars in his custody. So he cannot distribute without being sanctioned. That is not good. So he must take the superior sanction that, "Shall I give him?" Similarly, all these demigods, they cannot give you anything directly. With the permission of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Mayaiva vihitān hi tān (BG 7.22). That benefit which they derive from the demigod, that is ordained by Kṛṣṇa, Kṛṣṇa says. When the demigod appeals to Kṛṣṇa that, "This person is hankering after this thing, and he's worshiping me," so just to keep the position of the demigod, Kṛṣṇa says: "All right, give him." Because the demigods are servant of Kṛṣṇa. So if one has approached the servant of Kṛṣṇa, to keep the position of the servant, Kṛṣṇa orders, "Yes, you give."
Just like Hiraṇyakaśipu. Hiraṇyakaśipu took benediction from Brahmā so many things: "I shall not die at daytime, I shall not die night, I shall not die on land, I shall not die on the water." In this way, all definition by negation. Brahmā said, "Yes." Now, to keep the words of Brahmā . . . Kṛṣṇa is so kind—Brahmā is servant—He appeared in such a way that all the prayers of Hiraṇyakaśipu was not touched. Hiraṇyakaśipu said that, "I shall not die by any man or any animal or any demigod." So He appeared in Nṛsiṁha-mūrti, who is neither animal nor man nor demigod; you cannot define. Then Hiraṇyakaśipu prayed for that "I shall not die in daytime, at night." "Yes." So Hiraṇyakaśipu was killed in the sandhyā, between the junction of day and night, just in the evening. You cannot say it is day, neither it is night. In this way, Kṛṣṇa kept all the words of Brahmā and still killed him. That is Kṛṣṇa.
That is Kṛṣṇa, that you may be very intelligent to avoid Kṛṣṇa or the laws of Kṛṣṇa, but Kṛṣṇa is more intelligent. He will also cheat you. Because you wanted to cheat Him, so He will also cheat you in such a way that you . . . beyond your imagination. Yes. That is Kṛṣṇa. You cannot excel Kṛṣṇa. You have to be always under Him, even your cheating process. This is Kṛṣṇa.
So take shelter of Kṛṣṇa and be happy. Thank you.
