Question: Why Krishna Allows Us to Be in Maya?I humbly present this question before you.The material senses are manifestations of Maya, the Lord's illusory energy, to keep us entangled in the cycle of birth and death. Why would Lord Krishna allow us to be exposed to Maya?Hare KrishnaAnswer: So We Can Voluntarily Return to HimWhen we so foolishly desired to be in illusion, instead of keeping us against our will in the spiritual world, like an affectionate father Krishna facilitated our desire by letting us try out the illusion of being the center of existence. He did this so that we could personally realize how foolish it is to give up His service and could then voluntarily return to His eternal kingdom to serve Him there forever with pure love.Hare Krishna Hare KrishnaFor more discussions visithttp://harekrishnaharekrishna.ning.com/forum/

This question was nicely answered by Dvibhuja das when he responded to another thread:
Wouldn't we fall again? Please help me...

Dear Shamalah
A very good question. Actually this question was posed to Srila Prabhupada many years ago and I found his reply very satisfying. He simply replied with the example that once a child touches a hot stove he will never want to touch it again. I thought that was a good way to understand the point that has been very nicely put forward by many of the responses. Srila Prabhupada was also asked if we would remember this material world and he said it would be like remembering a bad dream. So that pretty much gave me a nice understanding of the reality that the soul is definitely not wanting to come back once we return to the spiritual world. \
