Krishna gives us chance. If you want Krishna, then He will give you full chance how to have Krishna; and if you don't want Krishna, then He will give you full chance how to forget Krishna. These things are going on. If you want to forget -- if you want to enjoy life forgetting Krishna, forgetting God -- then Krishna will give you all facilities so that you can forget. And if you want to enjoy life with Krishna consciousness, then Krishna will give you chance how to make your progress in Krishna consciousness. That is up to you. If you think without Krsna consciousness you will be happy, do that. Krishna does not object to that. Yathecchasi tatha kuru [Bg. 18.63]. Krishna, after advising Arjuna, He simply enquired, "Now I have explained to you everything. Whatever you desire, you can now do." So immediately Arjuna replied, karisye vacanam tava: "Now I shall execute Your order." That is Krishna consciousness.
God does not interfere with your little independence. If you want to act according to the order of God, then God will help you. Even sometimes you fall down, if you become sincere, that "From this time I shall remain Krishna conscious and execute His orders," then Krishna will help you in all respect. Even if you fall down He will excuse you, and He will give more intelligence: "Don't do this. Now go on with your duty." But if you want to forget Krishna, if you want to become happy without Krishna, He will give you so many chances that you will forget Krishna. He'll forget, life after life.

The great ocean of material nature is tossing with the waves of time, and the so-called living conditions are something like foaming bubbles, which appear before us as bodily self, wife, children, society, countrymen, etc. Due to a lack of knowledge of self, we become victimized by the force of ignorance and thus spoil the valuable energy of human life in a vain search after permanent living conditions, which are impossible in this material world. -- Srila Prabhupada (Pruport Srimad Bhagavatam Canto 2.1.4. — with Madhu Gopal Dasa and Tamohara Dasa. Parividha Das Tamohara prabhu, Please share my link to my website with Krishna Lila Entertainment with them. I would like that. www.parividha.com Hare Krishna.
