When one realizes one's imprisonned hopeless condition, then one can seek internally to reconnect with Godhead from a position of knowledge. That humble position in meditation enables the self to shuck off the agregious connections to maya's things, temporal things, and instead to rise free to a purer status unencumbered by so may ego deviations and petty desires of the material gross body. Instead one enters the realm of God's company and service, desiring His intervention service and mercy only, The tiny jiva may beg for the eternal relationship to be properly restored, so that true purpose can be fulfilled again as Krsna originally intended. One must abandon all sense of seperate interest, and enthusiastically assume devotional service, in a happy mood of cooperation and natural placement of Self. Tears may sometimes also be there, like rain in the spring season, or winds in the Fall, but they shall be supportive of the mood of remembering with love.
Jivera svarupa haya nitya krsnadasa. If we are here, then that means we have taken our leave of absence. Krsna does not force love, so He allows, especially seeing as it is all quite will-o-the-wisp ephemeral to the eternal soul. Some of course abuse others and thus become very deeply entangled. This is not our natural state, it is an embarassment for the King to be seen wandering the streets naked and drunk.
Lord Krsna is the Timelord. All phases of time, past present future, so dominant in a linear karma-time stream, is but a fleeting illusion of the souls to Godhead, real but not really so serious in that "Never was there a time when i did not exist, nor you.." Thus, our sleep in maya is relative, and although experienced, the souls never leave Krsna. In eternal time, all time phases exist in full, here and now, eternally. The Self is part of that.
The question of does the soul fall from Vaikuntha is thus both yes, and never.
Nonetheless, the Self has debased itself, displayed the independence in a haughty or over-brave manner, skating on thin ice out of a mood, learning suffering, but showing also the bad possibilities and sometimes becoming a horrid monster. This is an eternal occurrance, it happened, but like a bad dream, in light of eternity, it is nothing. .But until we reattain our nonenvious mentality, then it is a dire situation and a grave embarrassment to the Self to have gone naked and drunk down the streets.
