Krishna's equal mercy is universally available; liberation comes through surrendering the senses to His service.Listen — Srila Prabhupada Uvaca
Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 1.8.28 — April 20, 1973, Los Angeles 730420SB-LOS ANGELES [38:05 Minutes] SB-01.08.28_730420SB-LOS ANGELES Prabhupāda: Hare Kṛṣṇa. Hare Kṛṣṇa. [leads singing of Jaya rādhā-mādhava] [05:07] [prema-dhvāṇī prayers] Thank you very much. Hare Kṛṣṇa.
[ladies chant] That's all. So, word meaning? Pradyumna: manye—I consider it; tvām—Your Lordship; kālam—the eternal time; īśānam—the Supreme Lord; anādi-nidhanam—without beginning and end; vibhum—all-pervading; samam—equally merciful; carantam—distributing; sarvatra—everywhere; bhūtānām—of the living beings; yat mithaḥ—by intercourse; kaliḥ—dissension.

That is our mistake. We write, "We trust in God," but we make discrimination. If you trust in God, then you must be equally kind and merciful to all living entities. That is God consciousness.
So Kṛṣṇa says that "I have no enemies, neither I have got friends." Na me dveṣyo 'sti na priyaḥ. Dveṣya means enemy. We, we are envious of our enemy and we are friendly to our friends. So Kṛṣṇa is absolute. Even He appears to be inimical to some demon, actually He's friend.
When a demon is killed, that means his demonic activities are killed. He becomes a saint immediately. Otherwise, how he's promoted immediately to the brahma-jyotir? All these demons who were killed by Kṛṣṇa, they immediately merge into the brahma-jyotir—nirviśeṣa. The only difference is...
