Committing Sins: Why should God force or make us committing sins?
A devotee who requested anonymity asked like this:
“i wanted to know what leads a person to commit a sin? if something bad happens to us then the reason is really karma of past or there are some other reasons also? n wat reason leads the other person to do wrong to us and they dont even realize .. not a sign of realization that they did wrong to someone.. not just one time..bt several times?”
REPLY:
God does not force or make us committing sins.
Yes. Any activity by any person happens to us because of two reasons:
(1) To face the reactions for our Past Karma, ie, to nullify/ clear our past sinful acts in previous births, or, even in this birth in the past by facing their similar reactions.
(2) To add new good and bad karma to you when you use or misuse the FREE WILL given by Krishna.

There is a beauty in these two statements. Krishna does not force or make us committing sins. He is waiting for us to come to His kingdom to serve Him. But, we only are staying in these material worlds by committing sins and performing good deeds, as we need the temporary pleasures of these material worlds.

Krishna has given some amount of freedom for the HUMANS ALONE. Not for any other living beings.
All other living beings can not decide their next birth. But, a man can decide how he will be after leaving this body.
KRISHNA HAS GIVEN HIM THE FREE WILL, ie FREEDOM TO CHOOSE EITHER THE PAINFUL MATERIAL BIRTHS, OR, BLISSFUL LIFE IN THE SPIRITUAL WORLDS.
(FREE WILL GIVEN TO US BY KRISHNA: Its meaning and its use when we are unable to act free! READ HERE!)
So, if we utilize this freedom and involve ourselves in Krishna Consciousness seriously, we can clear all our past karma, get purified and thus get qualified to enter into Krishna’s kingdom.
Otherwise, if we misuse this freedom and involve in the sense gratifications that lead to the sins, we have to take many painful births in future. Either as human, or as any other living being out of 84,00,000 types of living beings.
Now, your question can be clear. You are cheated many times by others, because, you are clearing your past karma of having cheated many. Give and Take. That’s all.
The person who is cheating you now, is adding new karma that he will repay in his next birth.
If we use the free will given to us by Krishna to commit sins, we are given more births in this material world AND FACE THE REACTIONS OF ALL OUR PAST SINS.

The parents trust the children and send to school or college. They do not come with them to supervise them. If the girl or boy uses that freedom to study well, he/ she can get a glorious future. If he/ she cleverly misuses the trust and freedom given by the parents by involving in sinful acts, he/ she invites problems and suffer.
Whose mistake is this? That of the boy/ girl only. Parents can just allow freedom and give some advice.
Similarly, Krishna gave us freedom to choose what to do. He also has mercifully given perfect advice through Bhagavad Gita about how to live and get elevated. He has done His duty perfectly.
He has also made available many pleasures for us to enjoy with a condition that it gives repeated births according to our chosen activities.

He also assures and gives an eternal place in His Kingdom and in His service if you dedicate your life for Krishna.
So, patiently bear the reactions and never involve in any acts that lead to sins in future. Involve yourselves in chanting seriously.
Follow Krishna Consciousness seriously, develop detachment from material attachments, develop Krishna Prema and escape from this material world that is DHUKKALAYAM & ASASVATHAM.
