Of course this doesn't give free license to commit murder and say "oh but I love Lord Krishna, and I pray to Him every day". No, there are rules and regulations.
But 9.26 and 9.30 point out and underscore to me how merciful, loving and easy to please Sri Krishna is.
Not wishing to derail this thread so i be brief and do not expect an answer because i think we are on same page here.
There is no doubt Krishna is loving and merciful, easy to please? perhaps we would have a different take here.
coming back to 9.30 my take is on the operating word here is;
api cet su-duracaro
bhajate mam ananya-bhak
sadhur eva sa mantavyah
samyag vyavasito hi sah
without deviation
It is not as if one who is a sinner and remains a sinner can be considered a sadhu, again the next verse is important to understand because that person would soon become DharmAtma following the code of Dharma.
ksipram bhavati dharmatma
sasvac-chantim nigacchati
kaunteya pratijanihi
na me bhaktah pranasyati
Jai Shree Krishna
Rig Veda list only 33 devas, they are all propitiated, worthy off our worship, all other names of gods are derivative from this 33 originals,
Bhagvat Gita; Shree Krishna says Chapter 3.11 devan bhavayatanena te deva bhavayantu vah parasparam bhavayantah sreyah param avapsyatha Chapter 17.4 yajante sattvika devan yaksa-raksamsi rajasah pretan bhuta-ganams canye yajante tamasa janah
The world disappears in him. He is the peaceful, the good, the one without a second.
