Imagine God Himself going to a soul and pleading with him,
“Please do the right thing!”
You know, people say, “Well, God is all-kind, and God is all-knowing and all-powerful, so why does bad exist in the world? Why does evil exist?”
The answer is right there in that leela (Divine pastime) of Shree Krishna going to Duryodhan. God Himself went to someone and said,
“I’m trying to convince you to do the right thing! Don’t do the wrong thing.”
And Duryodhan didn’t just disobey or ignore Krishna’s advice. He insulted Him and even tried to throw Him in jail. At that point, Shree Krishna even revealed His almighty form to Duryodhan. He revealed His Divine all-mightiness right there in front of him. And Duryodhan just said,
“Oh, He’s some kind of magician, showing some tricks! Catch Him and throw Him in jail!”
See, what can God do? If a soul is not willing to accept the right thing, what can God do? All He can do is guide us and try to help us go in the right direction, but the rest is up to us.
