How will a modern mind see total surrender to Krishna?

In response to the posting of 'The Greatness of Gopis', Swami Nischala wrote the following:

really great state of being. but i wonder how the modern mind will see if at all such a thing happens in the present family situations.

A very relevant question indeed for all god-loving people. Again, we can find an answer for this issue, as we can find for all our questions, in Srimad Bhagavatam.

One who has fully dedicated his life in the service of the Lord has nothing to fear in any circumstance. Because he has fully surrendered himself unto the Lord, the Lord will protect him in all situations. This is confirmed as follows by Srila Prabhupada in his purport to Srimad Bhagavatam, 6th Canto, Chapter 3, Text 18 as follows:"Material danger is not meant for devotees. This is also confirmed in Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam. Padam padam yad vipadām na tesām: [SB 10.14.58] in this material world there are dangers at every step, but they are not meant for devotees who have fully surrendered unto the lotus feet of the Lord. The pure devotees of Lord Vishnu may rest assured of the Lord's protection, and as long as they are in this material world they should fully engage in devotional service by preaching the cult of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu and Lord Krishna, namely the Hare Krishna movement of Krishna consciousness."Therefore, in all circumstances, the Lord's devotee should go on peacefully, happily executing his service fully confident that his beloved Lord Sri Krishna will always fully protect him.
