demons, doesn't kill

Imported quote 12899 Persons who are materialistic and always engaged in fruitive activities for material profit cannot endure seeing the flourishing life of others. But for a few persons in Krsna consciousness, the entire world is full of such envious persons, who are perpetually full of anxieties because they are attached to the material body and are without self-realization. Since their hearts are always filled with anxiety, it is understood that they have already been killed by Providence. Thus Lord Siva, as a self-realized Vaisnava, was advised not to kill Daksa. A Vaisnava is described as para-duḥkha-duḥkhi because although he is never distressed in any condition of life, he is distressed to see others in a distressed condition.

(Bg. 7.14) A Vaisnava should take care of those who are bewildered by this maya instead of becoming angry with them because without a Vaisnava's mercy they have no way to get out of the clutches of maya. Those who have been condemned by maya are rescued by the mercy of devotees.
