By mercy, the Lord helps his devotee in spite of himself.

The Lord certainly strives to give all protection to the holy beings, who have forsaken everything to serve him.

Another point to note, is that the attachment to the home, to his wife, to his children, to his friends, to social relations and to material love, does not lead to obtaining the favor of God, the Person Supreme. He who remains attached to the home because of material pleasures cannot become a pure being, a pure devotee. It may happen that a pure devotee remains at home, with his wife and children, out of habit or attraction, but at the same time wishes to serve the Supreme Lord to the best of his ability.

The Lord then does in sort of withdrawing the objects of his attachment and thus freeing him from this bondage to the home, his wife, his children, his friends, etc. This is a special mercy granted to the pure being, to the pure devotee, to bring him back to God, in his original home.

The wheel of material existence.

The material mind which covers the soul, leads him from one form of life to another. This is called “the wheel of material existence”.

The activities of the mind under the influence of material nature are the cause of happiness and unhappiness in this world of dense matter. Blinded by illusion, the soul eternally pursues its existence conditioned by matter under different names. Those in this situation are called eternally conditioned beings. In sum, the mind is the origin of matter-conditioned existence.

This is why the practice of union with God as a whole is aimed at securing mastery of the mind and the senses. Once the mind is mastered, the senses are mastered automatically, and the soul is saved from the consequences of righteous or ungodly action. If one places the mind at the feet of Lord Krishna, the senses will automatically be employed in his service, and when he absorbs his mind and senses in the service of love and devotion that he offers to God, the individual being. naturally becomes aware of Him.

He who always meditates on Krishna, God, the Supreme Person, becomes a perfect transcendent spiritualist.
