It is very dangerous for us to judge a devotee of Krishna based on rumors, gossip or even fall downs because we do not know the heart of that devotee and his/her love for Guru and Krishna.

Even on the Spiritual path, a devotee sometimes makes mistakes however, that is between them and the Spiritual Master to deal with.

It is very dangerous for us to judge a devotee of Krishna based on rumors, gossip or even fall downs because we do not know the heart of that devotee and his/her love for Guru and Krishna.

Krishna and the Spiritual master never look at the faults of an aspiring devotee, they ONLY see their service.

And based on that service, the Guru instructs his disciple according to their level of faith and commitment which may seem heavy to others and outsiders. 

The word 'Guru' means heavy.

That is why the Guru or Spiritual Master sometimes instruct his disciple by chastising them or glorify them differently, based on the disciples commitment and realizations.

For example, an already initiated disciple will always get different instructions than an aspiring un-initiated seeker of truth who is beginning their Spiritual path.

This is because more is expected from an initiated disciple who knows the rules and regulations and has already made their choice and promised to serve his Spiritual Master to be trained for spiritual awakening.

In this way, the relationship between Guru and disciple is VERY personal, special and unique between them, and NOT understood by others.

So we should be very careful not to judge others (offend) even if they have previously fallen down due to some difficulty.

Also the fact is, because of a devotee's early training as a brahmacari (male) or Brahmacarini (female) in the Temple Ashram, the devotee has a better chance of remembering Krishna, even if there are some difficulties along the path.

Just like the pastime of Arjamil in Srimad Bhagavatam, there can be causeless mercy, or there can be a genuine effort to never give up no matter what happens.

Just like a child never gives up trying to walk no matter how many times he falls down.

Hare Krishna.

Krishna is everyone's dear friend who selflessly offers more service to His genuine dedicated dear selfless "friends", than they can EVER do for Him as seen in painting below.

To the inhabitants of Goloka-Vrindavana, Krishna is NOT known as the Supreme Personality of Godhead and cause of all causes, although He is seen as someone very special, admired and unique.

To the inhabitants of Goloka-Vrindavan Krishna is NEVER referred to as the Supreme Lord who they all bow down too and worship like they do in the Vaikuntha planets with Vishnu or Narayana.

No, they do not care for that in Goloka-Vrindavana, to them, Krishna is just a wonderful caring selfless little boy and their best friend who always looks out for them, who they all love Him very dearly and would do anything to please Him.**
