Hare Krishna devotees
In the introduction to Bhagavad Gita As It Is, Srila Prabhupada says that out of five subject matters: Ishvara(Supreme Lord), jiva(living entity), prakrti(material nature),kaala(eternal time), and karma(activity), the first 4 are eternal while karma is not eternal.
Srila Prabhupada says that prakrti, material manifestation, is eternal but temporary just like the passing of a cloud. Also, we know that Prakrti will eventually be destroyed and then created again and this cycle continues...
But what will happen to this eternal prakriti after everyone gets liberated???

Hare Krishna dear Devotees, please accept my humble obeisances! All glories to Srila Prabhupada!
also i heard that this material world is eternal. In sense even if everyone gets liberated same quantity of living entities will come out from the impersonal brahman. In this way there is no end to it.

Generally after anihilation Prakriti or material nature takes the subtle form known as Mahat Tattva and merge in Maha Vishnu's Body. There will never be when all will be liberated, Very less people really want to go back home even though there is suffering even if all become liberated some day, Prakriti will be merge in Lord's body as Material energy is nothing but conversion of spiritual energy created temporarily for the conditioned souls.
When SP says Prakriti is eternal, it means Prakriti exists in subtle form in Lord's body, Lord gives name and shape to Prakriti when conditioned souls want to enjoy matter.
