Is Envy of Krishna the Only Cause of Coming Here?

Question: Is Envy of Krishna the Only Cause of Coming Here?

I would like to humbly ask you: Is envy of Krishna the only reason for coming down to the material world?  Is it also that sometimes Krishna sends a person here to perform some special work to raise His glories, Srila Prabhupada being the perfect example?

Answer: Great Acharyas Also Come Here on a Mission

Yes, you are right. Those who are envious of Krishna relegate themselves to be prisoners here in this material world bound by the chains of the three modes of material nature. Sometimes great liberated souls like Srila Prabhupada are sent by Lord Krishna to this material world to deliver us poor rascals who are imprisoned here. Such liberated souls remain liberated even while they here. They are not chained by the three modes of material nature. They are just like chaplains who visit a prison to teach the prisoners how to love God. Although the chaplains may appear to be locked up in the prison just like the prisoners, they are free to come and go from the prison as they like. I have practically experienced this. Many years ago I went as a chaplain every week to give Krishna consciousness to the inmates at the El Reno Federal Penitentiary in El Reno, Oklahoma, USA. The prisoners were locked up tightly in the prison, but I was free to come and go as I liked. So even though I was in the prison apparently just like the prisoners, actually I was not in the prison at all. In this way great personalities like Srila Prabhupada always remain liberated in the constant association of Lord Krishna even while they appear to be in this material world.
