The Bhagavad-gita (09.30) urges us to recognize as saintly a devotee who, though guilty of grievous misconduct, is still determined to serve Krishna. The next verse (09.31) first assures that such a devotee will soon get reformed and then proclaims that Krishna due to his unfailing love will forever protect such a devotee.
The first verse offers a glimpse of the unconditional nature of Krishna’s love: there is nothing that we can ever do, no matter how vicious, that can stop Krishna from loving us. He forever acts as our well-wisher and benefactor, just as the sun forever gives illumination.
At the same time, though love can be unilateral, a loving relationship cannot be unilateral; it always has to be bilateral. If we neglect or reject Krishna’s love by filling our heart with non-devotional or anti-devotional desires, then we paralyze our capacity to experience his love, just as closing our eyes disables our capacity to see sunlight. So, Krishna’s love is conditional in the limited sense that we need to cultivate a certain condition of the heart to experience his love.
Knowing this, sincere devotees never misuse Krishna’s proclamation in 09.30 to rationalize their own moral lapses. They use 09.30 primarily to continue respecting other devotees who have succumbed to immoral temptations: “If Krishna considers them saintly, so should I.” Earnest devotees fervently regret their misdeeds. And, in the spirit of the next verse (09.31), they return to morality so as to make their heart receptive for experiencing Krishna’s love.
09.31 assures us that return to moral and spiritual integrity is definitely possible, even inevitable and imminent (kshipram bhavati dharmatma). Then, knowing that an inner battle is necessary for attaining that state, 09.31 inspires us to fight by declaring that Krishna with all his omnipotence will protect us (na me bhaktah pranashyati).
“Even if one commits the most abominable action, if he is engaged in devotional service he is to be considered saintly because he is properly situated in his determination.”

In Hinduism, Pāpa is the word generally used for Sin. Sin is nothing but doing acts which go against the will of God, or going against the laws of nature or rules of scriptures given by God. Now how we can get rid of our sins? 'tad viddhi pranipatena pariprasnena sevaya upadeksyanti te jnanam jnaninas tattva-darshinah' (Bhagwat Gita: Chapter Four verse 34) Na Me Bhaktah Pranashyati Meaning In Urdu'Sri Krishna said: Just try to learn the truth by approaching a spiritual master. Inquire from him submissively and render service unto him. The self-realized souls can impart knowledge unto you because they have seen the truth.' sarvebhyah papa-krt-tamah sarvam jnana-plavenaiva vrjinam santarisyasi' (Bhagwat Gita: Chapter Four verse 36) 'Sri Krishna said: Even if you are considered to be the most sinful of all sinners, when you are situated in the boat of transcendental knowledge you will be able to cross over the ocean of miseries.' 'yathaidhamsi samiddho ’gnir bhasma-sat kurute ’rjuna jnanagnih sarva-karmani bhasma-sat kurute tatha' (Bhagwat Gita: Chapter Four verse 37) 'Sri Krishna said: As a blazing fire turns firewood to ashes, O Arjuna, so does the fire of knowledge burn to ashes all sins & reactions to material activities.' Na Me Bhaktah Pranashyati Meaning In TamilOne other way to get rid of all your sins is to take refuge in God through 'Devotion'. In Bhagwat Gita, God assures his disciple Arjuna in many ways & asks him to take refuge in Him & says that He shall emancipate him of sin in all ways, shall rescue him in his life always. Many times we think that we have done many sins in life & how God shall accept us, but God makes very clear in Bhagwat Gita that once a person become devoted to Him, He does not considers that person a sinner, rather God considers that person to be a Saint as he has taken the right decision in his life to become devoted to God. Na Me Bhaktah Pranashyati Meaning In SpanishApi chet su-duracharo bhajate maam ananya-bhak sadhurev sa mantavya samyag vyvasito hi sah' (Gita: Chapter IX verse 30 ) 'Even if the vilest sinner worships Me with full devotion, he should be considered a noble soul or saint; as he has taken the right step by worshipping me.' ' kshipram bhavti dharmatma shasvac-chantim nigachati kauntey pratijanihi na me bhaktah pranashyati' (Gita: Chapter IX verse 31) 'He speedily becomes virtuous and secures lasting peace. O son of Kunti, know it for certain that My devotee never falls.' Through above verse 31, God is telling Arjuna that such a sinful person after becoming His devotee becomes a person of good virtues and always remain in peace & such a peace is not temporary but is ever lasting. God is assuring the son of Kunti ( another name of Arjuna, his disciple) that his devotee never falls again in life as He always protect him. So let's all worship the God always so that He can protect us always. 'man-mna bhav mad-bhakto madhyaji maam namaskuru maam-evaishyasi yuktvaivam atmanam mat-parayanah' (Gita: Chapter IX verse 34) 'Fix your mind on Me, be devoted to me, worship Me & offer obeisance's to Me. In this way, linking to Me, you shall surely come to Me.'
