Happiness never obtained by misusing of Independence
When the living entity prefers to misuse his independence and glide down towards nescience, the all-merciful Lord first of all tries to protect him from the trap, but when the living entity persists in gliding down to hell, the Lord helps him to forget his real position. The Lord helps the falling living entity glide down to the lowest point, just to give him the chance to see if he is happy by misusing his independence.

It is the mercy of the Lord.
"The Lord helps the falling living entity glide down to the lowest point, just to give him the chance to see if he is happy by misusing his independence."
He Knows that the living entity is doing wrong but still he indulges him and helps him and shows him that the living entity cannot be happy unless he is in service of the Lord
