Question: Why Doesnt Krishna Let Us Also Be Krishna? Dear Gurudeva, Please accept my humble obeisances! All glories to Guru and Gauranga! When Krishna is all merciful, then why He lets us suffer in this material world. He can simply allow us to become Krishna and enjoy everything like Him. Some devotees answer that Krishna, by sanctioning, one conditioned soul to become Krishna would be unjustifiable and biased for other souls. But, when Krishna is almighty then he can certainly make all the desiring conditioned souls to become exactly like Himself full with all six opulence at its maximum, because it is possible for Krishna. Is it not a better solution rather than creating a material world and sending the eternal souls to suffer there by providing a material and subtle body? When sons of a rich businessman fight with their father, the father shares the property and business with the sons without duplicity and thus the sons also start a new business and gradually become good businessmen one day with the help of their fathers guidance. And we have many examples of it like Ambani Brothers (Mukesh and Anil Ambani) inherited their business from Dhirubhai Ambani and expanded the business and doing well. So, why Krishna does not share His opulence and gradually make every soul as Krishna eternally like Himself so that nobody falls down from the material world and suffers? Why we all have to go back to Krishna when He can make us Krishna? Your humble servant, H.D. Answer: Because We Are Not Krishna Loving parents chastise their misbehaving child to rectify him of this tendency to do wrong. This is the loving affection of the parents. If they neglect to do this, this is their lack of compassion for their child. The sun globe emanates the sunshine. Its not that the sunshine can become the sun globe because it is of a different nature. Similarly, Krishna is the source of all existence. Everything emanates from Him. Therefore it is not possible for someone other than Krishna to be the source of all existence. Others exist simply due to the fact that Krishna is manifesting them like the sun globe manifesting the sunshine. You cannot blame Krishna for creating this material world. This is an incorrect understanding. We wanted a world like this where we could imagine ourselves to be the center of all existence and Krishna facilitated us. Therefore if there is any one to blame for this material existence, the guilty party would be us. The desire is to be God is the immature desire of the impersonalists. Why foolishly desire to be God, like the impersonalists, when you can aspire to be greater than God, like Arjuna and Mother Yasoda? The impersonalists want to become God, but our philosophy is to become greater than God, just like Arjuna who engaged Krishna and his chariot driver, and Mother Yasoda who chastised Krishna for stealing butter by tying Him up with rope.
