7. Dangerous Encounters Text 24, Purport
This is very significant. We may have many enemies who may be very powerful fighters, but if we remain under the protection of Krsna, no one can do us any harm. Rakhe Krsna Mare Ke Mare Krsna Rake Ke. "He whom Krsna protects, no one can kill, but if Krsna wants to kill someone, no one can give him protection." For example, suppose a very rich man is suffering from disease. He may have a first-class physician, medicine, and hospital available for him, but still he may die. This means that Krsna desired, "This man must die." Therefore, the so-called protective methods we have devised will be useless if Krsna does not desire us to live. The demon Ravana was very powerful, but when Krsna in the form of Lord Ramachandra desired to kill him, no one could protect him. Ravana was a great devotee of Lord Shiva and was praying to Lord Shiva, "Please come save me from this danger." But Lord Shiva did not come. Then Parvati, Lord Siva's wife, asked Lord Shiva, "What is this? He is such a great devotee and has served you so much, and now he is in danger and is asking your help. Why are you not going to help him?" Then Lord Shiva replied, "My dear Parvati, what shall I do? I cannot give him protection. It is not possible. Why shall I go?" Therefore, if God wants to kill someone, no one can give him protection, and if God wants to protect someone, no one can kill him. Rakhe Krsna Mare Ke Mare Krsna Rake Ke.

Anuttama devi dasi
PAMHO. AGTSP.
Don't such experiences put everything in perspective? I was recently
discussing such near misses with some friends in our community and
found that many people actually hear a voice giving them instructions
in emergency situations. Did that happen to you? Twice I've heard
the voice, and I don't know if it was Paramatma or someone else
helping me. Once I was pulling out in my car from our gravel road to
a country road where the speed limit is 25. There is a small dip
before a bridge that is large enough to conceal a car, but no problem
if the car is going under 45mph, because there is plenty of time to
stop. However as I pulled out, a car appeared, probably doing about
65mph. I heard a voice telling me to hit the gas to get out of the
way. There was no way for the speeding car to stop because he was air
born going over the bridge, and I was out of the way with a good six
inches to spare. Normally I'd have frozen, trying to decide what to
do, but the voice helped me. Another time recently I was riding a
young horse that started to bolt and buck across the length of the
arena. He then continued bolting and twisting bucking along the short
side of the arena and continued up the long side again. I heard the
voice (Voice?) telling me that I'd be fine if I came off "here", so I
let go and softly landed and wasn't even sore the next day. Krsna is
really with us all of the time and whether it is Him speaking, or a
helper He's sent, many people do experience help when they need it.
YS,
Anuttama
