Srila Prabhupada: I am friend so far I am giving you this information. But actual friend is Krsna. So this is friendship. Krsna is your best friend…I am your best friend in this sense, that I am giving you this information.” Actually, Krsna is your best friend. What can I do? I am a teeny living entity. What can I do for you? I may become your friend, but when you are in danger, I cannot give you any protection; Krsna can give you protection. This is real friendship. Simply our business is to carry the message of Krsna. Then we are friend. Otherwise we are not friend. We may pose to become friend, but we are not friend, because we do not know how to benefit the friend. Therefore our business is to point out that “Krsna is your friend.”>>> Ref.
