Question: I’ve read that if we go back to Vaikuntha after this life, we will never come back to the material world. I think I have also read (or heard) that we were in the spiritual world before, but we were thrown in this material world because we misbehaved. How can you say that we will never come back here again? (Maybe we will misbehave again.)
Answer by Romapada Swami: This question was answered in a previous issue also. We always have the freewill to ‘misbehave’, but if we cent-percent reinstate ourselves in pure devotion during this life and go back to the spiritual world, Krishna promises that He will extend His special protection to us, in such a way that we never have to come back again and experience life in this material world. This is His special, causeless mercy.
