Why did Krishna not help Sudama earlier despite their friendship?

definition
"Existence honors your freedom; help arrives only when you seek it, for true readiness comes from a place of giving, not taking."
According to Osho, Krishna didn’t intervene earlier because existence honors human freedom: nothing is given unasked. Help without invitation would violate Sudama’s dignity and choice. One must seek and be inwardly prepared; Sudama’s turning to Krishna—coming to give, not take—signaled readiness. Then all forces, including Krishna’s grace, rush to aid. Krishna waits; we find what we truly seek.
God respects your freedom, so he waits until you ask and are ready; when Sudama sought Krishna with a giving heart, help naturally came.
