"I know no one but Krishna as my Lord, and He shall remain so even if He handles me roughly by His embrace or makes me brokenhearted by not being present before me. He is completely free to do anything and everything, for He is always my worshipful Lord, unconditionally." (Sri Sri Shikshashtaka 8)
From where are you quoting me? What are we never?
There are many things I believe "we never are."
You do see how closely that would line up with putting up with an abusive partner, right? If the same exact statement is taken with the subjects changed, you get:
"I know no one but my husband, and he shall remain so even if he handles me roughly by his embrace or makes me brokenhearted by not being present before me. He is completely free to do anything and everything, for he is always my husband, unconditionally."
:no:
Especially so considering it seems to have been taken from my signature which quotes Game of Thrones (a bit I haven't myself reached but have heard of), and is not in reference to Gods, but feudal lords.
Those who say they can do whatever they want is someone who doesn't fully understand what the game of thrones(not the book, but the concept) really is.
I will ask God what God does.
This all presupposes that God has an anthropomorphic form and our human senses will be intact in the afterlife. I'm not so sure I believe that.
Yes, but I don't believe that in an incarnated form He would show Himself in great splendor as a matter of course. I'd think it would be for a special purpose. Krishna had to give Arjuna special divine sight to see Krishna's universal form. At other times, Arjuna saw his human cousin. The same thing pretty much happened when Jesus transfigured in front of his apostles.

"So, what's with all this Evil you created? And why is it you need to be worshiped; need a little ego boost?
There's an old Greek story that basically says that if any of the Gods displayed their true forms to mortal men, the latter would burst into flames.
Yes, that is the story. When Dionysus's mortal mother Semele begged Zeus to show her his true form, he tried to dissuade her, but she was insistent. He downplayed it knowing she could not withstand his true form, but even them she burned to ashes. As I said, Arjuna would not be able to withstand Krishna's true form without that special divine sight he was given. Jesus's disciples fell down in fear, covering themselves from his radiance when he was transfigured. So this seems to be a common threme.
