The proportional principle of Supreme Person, God(Krishna)

Today is Good Friday when a great devotee of God, acarya Jesus was crucified by atheists.

The Principle: Bhagavan Krishna rewards everyone according to their level of surrender and devotion.

People approach Krishna in various ways:

• Impersonalists: Seek merging with the impersonal Brahman energy (brahmajyoti) or the Supersoul (Paramatma) within everything.
• Pure Devotees: Seek a personal relationship with Krishna, as master, friend, son, or lover.
• Fruitive Workers(someone who desires the fruit fo their activities): Desire material rewards through prescribed duties (yajna).
• Yogis: Pursue mystic powers.
• Krishna Responds in Kind:Pure Devotees: Achieve the highest level of realization and experience transcendental bliss through personal service.
• Impersonalists: Merge into Krishna's impersonal effulgence, but miss the joy of personal connection.
• Fruitive Workers: Receive their desired results.
• Yogis: Obtain the mystic powers they seek.
• Everyone Depends on Krishna: All paths ultimately lead to Krishna, and success depends on his mercy.
• Ultimate Goal: Krishna consciousness - a state of complete perfection and pure devotion.

Key Points:

• Regardless of the approach, everyone is seeking Krishna in some way.
• The level of devotion determines the nature of the reward.
• Pure devotion to Krishna is considered the highest path.

This excerpt comes from the Bhagavad Gita, a sacred Hindu scripture. It emphasizes the all-encompassing nature of Krishna and the various ways devotees can connect with him.

The proportionality principle:

ye yathā māṁ prapadyante

tāṁs tathaiva bhajāmy aham

mama vartmānuvartante

manuṣyāḥ pārtha sarvaśaḥ

All of them—as they surrender unto Me—I reward accordingly. Everyone follows My path in all respects, O son of Prtha.

PURPORT by His Divine Grace Srila Prabhupada:

Eveyone is searching for Krsna in the different aspects of His manifestations. Krsna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, is partially realized in His impersonal brahmajyoti effulgence and as the all-pervading Supersoul dwelling within everything, including the particles of atoms. But Krsna is only fully realized by His pure devotees. Consequently, Krsna is the object of everyone's realization, and thus anyone and everyone is satisfied according to one's desire to have Him. In the transcendental world also, Krsna reciprocates with His pure devotees in the transcendental attitude, just as the devotee wants Him. One devotee may want Krsna as supreme master, another as his personal friend, another as his son, and still another as his lover. Krsna rewards all the devotees equally, according to their different intensities of love for Him. In the material world, the same reciprocations of feelings are there, and they are equally exchanged by the Lord with the different types of worshipers. The pure devotees both here and in the transcendental abode associate with Him in person and are able to render personal service to the Lord and thus derive transcendental bliss in His loving service. As for those who are impersonalists and who want to commit spiritual suicide by annihilating the individual existence of the living entity, Krsna helps also by absorbing them into His effulgence. Such impersonalists do not agree to accept the eternal, blissful Personality of Godhead; consequently they cannot relish the bliss of transcendental personal service to the Lord, having extinguished their individuality. Some of them, who are not situated even in the impersonal existence, return to this material field to exhibit their dormant desires for activities. They are not admitted in the spiritual planets, but they are again given a chance to act on the material planets. For those who are fruitive workers, the Lord awards the desired results of their prescribed duties, as the yajnesvara; and those who are yogis seeking mystic powers are awarded such powers. In other words, everyone is dependant for success upon His mercy alone, and all kinds of spiritual processes are but different degrees of success on the same path. Unless, therefore, one comes to the highest perfection of Krsna consciousness, all attempts remain imperfect, as is stated in the Srimad Bhagavatam:

akamah sarva-kamo va moksa-kama udaradhih tivrena bhakti-yogena yajeta purusam param

"Whether one is without desire [the condition of the devotees], or is desirous of all fruitive results, or is after liberation, one should with all efforts try to worship the Supreme Personality of Godhead for complete perfection, culminating in Krsna consciousness." (Bhag. 2.3.10)

Where does our activity or free will fit in?

If someone decideds to kill someone in the subway of London, He lets them do it and as a reward gives some Karma which will be manifest in a future lifetime. Better to put an end to this taking birth again to manifest the Karma.

Conclusion:

Krishna or God reciprocates proportionately to the Jiva (soul's ) degree of inclination towards him. This is not at all surprising. We would give our direct report the freedom and rewards based on his degree of contributions to our organization. Don't we?
