Question :

Is this true that the god is our friend ? where he says so. It looks like that it is just a nice poetry.

Answer :
In sri Bhagwad geeta, chapter 18. verse 65, he (the god) has given this oath, in most clear words, which follows as:

man-mana bhava mad-bhakto / mad-yaji mam namaskuru
mam evaisyasi satyam te / pratijane priyo 'si me

word meaning :
mat-manah--thinking of Me; bhava--just become; mat-bhaktah--My devo­tee; mat-yaji--My worshiper; mam--unto Me; namaskuru--offer your obeisances; mam--unto Me; eva--certainly; esyasi--you will come; satyam--truly; te--to you; pratijane--I promise; priyah--dear; asi--you are; me--to Me.

TRANSLATION

Always think of Me, become My devotee, worship Me and offer your homage unto Me. Thus you will come to Me without fail. I promise you this because you are My very dear friend.

Text 65

man-mana bhava mad-bhaktomad-yaji mam namaskurumam evaishyasi satyam tepratijane priyo ’si me

Translation

Always think of Me, become My devotee, worship Me and offer your homage unto Me. Thus you will come to Me without fail. I promise you this because you are My very dear friend.
Commentary by Sri Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakur
The phrase bhava mad-bhakto means "Being my devotee, think of me." The Lord says this to exclude the other possibilities. He does not mean, "Be a jnani or be a yogi and meditate on me."
Or the phrase man-mana can mean: "Give your mind as a gift to me, Syamasundara, with moon-like face, with shining locks of hair and beautiful eye brows, raining nectar in the form of glances of sweet mercy."
And then bhava mad bhaktah can mean, "And give all your senses such as the ears to me. Perform worship of me (bhava mad bhaktah) using all the senses with such services as hearing, chanting, seeing my murti, cleaning and anointing my temple, picking flowers, and offering me garlands, ornaments, umbrella and camara."
And then the Lord says, "Give me objects such as gandha, flowers, incense, lamp and naivedya. Be my worshipper. Perform my worship." (mad yaji).And then Lord says, "O, just give my respects, (mam namaskuru) Falling on the ground with the whole body, offer respects, by touching the body to the ground with eight limbs." "Of these four - thinking of me, serving me with senses, worshipping me with items and offering respects to me - do all of them or any of them, and you will attain me (mam eva esyasi). Make an offering of your mind, your senses, or items of worship unto me, and I make an oath to you (te satyam): I will give myself to you."
The word satyam implies something of which there is no doubt. According to the Amara Kosa, satyam means an oath and truth.

"Well, the people born in the land of Mathura make such oaths in every sentence."

That is true. In that case, under oath (pratijane) I declare, "You are dear to me. No one cheats a person dear to himself."
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

"Well, the people born in the land of Mathura make such oaths in every sentence."

this above comment is very important. this is true, and this implies that they make such statements, and they do not care to fulfill that oath.

i also belive that, this krishna is a mathura /brijwasi first, then what we should think of him. will he fullfill his promise ?

will sombody put a light on this.
i would be much obliged.
