Question: Is Existence a Fixed Match?
Question: Is Existence a Fixed Match?
I have a confusion. On one hand it is known that after 427,000 years the world will be in its worst state, and on the other hand you talk about reviving everyone to their original identity. When everything is pre-decided and it is known that it is going to be like this after these many number of years, what are we doing here? Are the Krishna conscious people completely aware of something that is inevitable and trying to defy it? You say you want to revive the world, but you know that will not happen till Kalki avatar is here, which is 427,000 years later. In a way, it just makes me think that if it is all pre-decided, our karma is also decided. So people (at least some of them) will keep taking births and keep getting bound in their bad karma (which is pre-decided) and the cycle of life and death until 427,000 years from now. Also, some souls are bound to get strayed by material desires and take birth till 427,000 years from now. Its like a fixed match to me. Please clarify.

Answer: Everyone Has a Free Choice
Even though the Kali Yuga will become more and more powerful degrading the world's atmosphere more and more for the next 427,000 years until Kalki Avatar comes to annihilate the demoniac population and usher in a golden saintly era known as the Satya Yuga, there is also a 10,000 year era of Krishna consciousness which began 500 years ago with the advent of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu.
So at the present time there are two influences at work concurrently. While the influence of Kali is making the world situation more and more demoniac, simultaneously the influence of Lord Caitanya manifested as the Krishna consciousness movement is become more and more spiritually powerful providing shelter from the Kali yuga to an ever-increasing number of souls who are seeking relief. Gradually there will be so many souls joining the Krishna consciousness movement that the Kali Yuga will go into remission until the end of the 10,000 year Caitanya Era at which time it will fully re-emerge until Lord Kalki's advent.
So for each individual it is not a fixed match. Everyone has the free choice whether they would like to remain in Kali's camp and take birth after birth in an increasingly demoniac world or they would prefer to relocate to Lord Caitanya's camp and get out of this material world at the earliest available opportunity.

The Bhagavad-gita As It Is
The Bhagavad-gita is universally renowned as the jewel of India's spiritual wisdom. Spoken by Lord Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead to His intimate disciple Arjuna, the Gita's seven hundred concise verses provide a definitive guide to the science of self realization. No other philosophical or religious work reveals, in such a lucid and profound way, the nature of consciousness, the self, the universe and the Supreme.
His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada is uniquely qualified to present this English translation and commentary on Bhagavad-gita. He is the world's foremost Vedic scholar and teacher, and he is also the current representative of an unbroken chain of fully self-realized spiritual masters begining with Lord Krishna Himself. Thus, unlike other editions of the Gita, this one is presented as it is--without the slightest taint of adulteration or personal motivation. This edition is certain to stimulate and enlighten with its ancient yet thoroughly timely message.
