Question: On one hand Krsna has promised us that if we reach Goloka Vrindavan through devotional process then we won’t return to this world of birth and death and at the same time we all are in this material world due to our envy towards Krsna. Weren’t we all originally residents of Goloka Vrindavan?
Answer by Romapada Swami: Originally we are all pure Krishna conscious entities, but somehow or other due to envy we came to the material world. This is true. But now if we reinstate ourselves in proper devotional attitude and go back to Godhead, then it’s Krishna’s promise to us that we don’t have to come back, and on the strength of Krishna’s promise we can rest assured that we don’t have to come back.
