Digest 00009H: A Devotee Is ‘In Krishna’

Written by Romapada Swami

Question: In Chapter 9 Prabhupada gives the translation for text 29 as follows: “I envy no one, nor am I partial to anyone. I am equal to all. But whoever renders service unto Me in devotion is a friend, is in Me, and I am also a friend to him. ” Can you guide me regarding understand the words *is in Me*?

Answer by Romapada Swami: The answer to this question is very simple. When the devotee is situated in the internal potency of Krishna, then he is situated in Krishna. You can understand this from the verse in Bhagavad-gita (9.13), ‘mahatmanas tu mam partha daivim prakrtim asrita’. The phrase ‘daivim prakrtim asrita’ is equivalent to the statement that a devotee is ‘in Krishna’
