Yes, well noted! Srila Bhaktisiddhanta says it is like an arrow of deliverance shot by Vishnu, it will meet it's mark, though it must first sail across the field etc. Similarly, once He has determined that the soul is due for liberation, He makes that sure arrangement. The conditioned soul sees the pastimes of enlightenment ocurring in his life, and may think he is the doer, maybe still some maha maya, but it is the Lord's arrangement. No one goes to Goloka without the Lord's arrangement, to make it so.
That is our entance by merciful acceptance into pastimes of yogamaya, He has saved us, but we lament and strive, we advance toward our goal through using knowledge, sadhana, self control, but after a while love arises and we are no longer fearful nor simply hopeful but experiencing tasteful, relishable, satisfying ; living love of Krsna and Radha, and Friends. Everything powerful and desirable is fulfilled, as Gopal looks after us persoanlly then, in His Vrndavana or Dwarka etc. pamh
