The programmer is present

Bg. 7.14 Bhagavad Gita as it is .

दैवी ह्येषा गुणमयी मम माया दुरत्यया ।
मामेव ये प्रपद्यन्ते मायामेतां तरन्ति ते ॥ १४ ॥

daivī hy eṣā guṇa-mayī
mama māyā duratyayā
mām eva ye prapadyante
māyām etāṁ taranti te

Translation

This divine energy of Mine, consisting of the three modes of material nature, is difficult to overcome. But those who have surrendered unto Me can easily cross beyond it.

Srila Jiva Goswami in his Bhagavat Sandarbha points us to the creation maintenance and destruction of this existence,  both in micro and macro formats.  From the individual Mayfly to the universal affairs. Goodness , passion, and ignorance,  the three modes are directly Krishna’s energies, Sri , Bhu ,and Durga.

Krishna, through his agencies , is directly the modes of nature,  they are His subtle energies,  and like a software programmer is present in his program,  in one sense,  Krishna is fully present within the heart as our conditioner , He hears and feels our desire and appropriate material consciousness covers the pure soul . Free will and determinism are in effect . Krishna, through the modes of nature, responds with our subtle conditioning and the universal responsive universe with it many possibilities, which is already calculating our next destination. The living beings are totally dependent but have minute independence .

Krishna tells us that we should become part of His family , take ” birth ” in Goloka Vrndavana,  it will be your last . You have to take birth somewhere,  why not there , you have to have family and friends somewhere,  why not there .

As AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada explains , everything is happening by the supreme desire of Krishna. This consciousness is Krishna consciousness.  At the same time, in conditioned life, Krishna is facilitating our independence with matter , its His ” programming” running the modes  and His “divine universal algorithms ” providing the responsive universe.

The Bhagavad Gita as it is explains all, and Srila AC Bhavtivedanta Swami explains Krishna and His energies and workings perfectly.
