Usually aggression requires a response, but devotees do not feel the need for vengeance. This is because they see that nothing happens without Krsna’s sanction. They know that if they are being cursed or punished in some way, it is because of an offense they themselves must have committed in some past life. They accept the suffering as Krsna’s punishment. A Vaisnava does not blame the agent delivering Krsna’s punishment.
