If Krishna likes you He may give you so many things.
But if Krishna loves you He takes everything away.
Then the devotee is in a helpless position. No position in society. No money. No family. The perfect situation for surrendering to Krishna.
I can write like this. This is my situation. This is my experience.

Recently I have been contacted by a devotee godbrother that I remember
from the mid 80's. I don't have to say who. But he is experiencing this
also. None of his arrangements for position in society or family life
have worked out.
As a young disciple he was enthusiastic to dedicate all his life to preaching and at a very young age took sannyasa. Then realized a few years later he was not able to serve like that.
So he did the embarrassing but honorable thing.. left sannyasa and took up household life. But after a few years he realized he couldn't maintain that either.
No position in any sphere. It's perfect. Everything is taken away.
Free to surrender to Krishna.
