...the Lord is situated in the heart of the thief as well as in the
heart of the householder, but the Supersoul in the heart of the thief
dictates, "Go and steal things from that particular house," and at the
same time the Lord tells the householder, "Now be careful of thieves
and burglars." These instructions to different persons appear
contradictory, yet we should know that the Supersoul, the Supreme
Personality of Godhead, has some plan, and we should not consider such
activities contradictory. The best course is to surrender unto the
Supreme Personality of Godhead wholeheartedly, and, being protected by
Him, remain peaceful.
