Why should I go back to Krishna who gave me only problems while living?
A Girl devotee (Name hidden) asked like this:
Hare Krishna prji.. Dandwat pranam…
(1) Since from years my prayers are unanswered & I am continuously suffering, my mind raises question that since Lord doesn’t care and love me, why I should go back to Him? That too eternally! What i would do eternally there. In such sufferings, even an enemy’s heart would melt, And he would try to help whatever way possible for him. The material relations which we call selfish, they only come forward and offer help atleast by words, but Lord doesn’t.
(2) Why did Lord create us? He doesn’t need us at all for his enjoyment or service, He is self sufficient. Also Since He gives freewill, He never gave us free will to be created or not. Why there are 84 lakh species which are created according to desires. Why would a soul want an ant body or tree body or lizard/crocodile body. I mean what kind of enjoyment one would have there! This concept doesn’t go well with me.
Plz take up these questions pr whenever possible.

You are thinking why you should go back to Krishna who does not give you what you want in this material world itself.
Krishna didn’t keep me happy even here. How can He keep me happy in His Kingdom?
Why should I go back to the world of a person who has no mercy to help me even in this material world?
This is your question. Right?

Even the basic understanding of life itself is wrong.
See, Krishna gives problems only to take you back to His Kingdom.
If Krishna gives abundant happiness without any problems, what will you do?
You won’t think Krishna. You will easily forget Him.
The people are selfish. They will accuse Krishna if they fail in their efforts; At the same time, they will not praise Krishna if they gain something or face success. They will say that they succeeded because of their own hard efforts.
Your question too has that tone. Why should I Go to Krishna since He did not help me when I am suffering now.
As said by the Scriptures in many places, Krishna would take away anything from His devotees if that aspect blocks him from coming closer to Krishna.
Your problems were not given by Krishna.
Krishna never punishes anyone if he is innocent.

In fact, Krishna does not interfere in the functioning of Karma network unless there are compelling reasons.
We did so many things to others in our previous births. They were recorded in our karma account.
Now, we are facing the same sufferings that we gave to others in our previous birth.
So, our sufferings are just Give and take matter.
We gave once; Now, We take back.
This Give and take matter is implemented by the Karma Network created by Krishna as the Justice department for material planets.
The people won’t accept if the government interferes in the Justice system followed by the courts according to the Constitution of that country.
Similarly, Krishna too does not interfere in His own Justice department, ie, Karma network except in some exceptional cases, and He allows the people to face both the good and painful reactions for their own activities.
If you face more problems, that means, you are cleansed from karmic reactions. Krishna is fastening the cleansing process in your case.
(How many Qualities required to go back to Goloka for humans and gods? READ HERE!)
After cleansing you from your serious karmic reactions, Krishna takes you back to His kingdom.
You may pray for thousand needs. Krishna need not bless every such request.
He gives only the boons that elevate you in His devotion.
So, don’t think why should you go back to Krishna who gave you problems now while living.
The purpose of giving problems is to cleanse you from your karmic reactions fast and take you back to His kingdom.
This is the causeless mercy of Krishna.
Instead of thinking like this and thanking Krishna, you are blaming Krishna for the current problems that you yourself invited.
Hope you are clear atleast now why you should go back to Krishna and it was not He who gave problems for you.
