Jayapatākā Swami: That reminds me of an example, there was a flood, and police came by and said to a person, “We came to evacuate you from the flood.” “I am depending on Kṛṣṇa” he said. Then more water came. A boat came to take him, and he again said, “I am depending on Kṛṣṇa!” And then the water rose higher, and he went on the roof. Then a helicopter came and said, “Come on, come with me!” But he said, ‘No, I am depending on Kṛṣṇa.” Then the flood rose higher, and he died. He went to Vaikuṇṭha and he asked Kṛṣṇa “why didn’t You save me?” “I sent the police, I sent the boat, I sent the helicopter, you didn’t take anything!” So, you see depending on Kṛṣṇa, we take whatever help He sends. How Kṛṣṇa works, He works in unique ways!
