Don’t be in anxiety. There is nothing we can do. We are bound to tolerate all sufferings. My dear sister, try to realize this fact. We are puppets in the hands of God. Although to some extent we are independent to initiate any activity, we are bound to enjoy the fruits of our bad and good activities—we are bound to. So, don’t blame the Supreme Lord, or us. Don’t blame. Some persons say, “Hitler was very cruel. He put so many Jews in jail…”
Devotees: "In gas chambers…in concentration camps."
Śrīla Gurudeva: “…and they were killed there. They were tortured so much. If there is a God, why did He become cruel? Why didn’t He stop Hitler?” A doubt may come why the Supreme Lord allowed this to happen? All these questions have been answered in our scriptures. Why could Kṛṣṇa not have stopped Him if He wished? Actually, everything could have been totally stopped. We cannot do anything to escape the law of reactions to our materialistic actions. As I mentioned, we are like puppets.
Kṛṣṇa is not responsible for our sinful acts. He is the witness. Whatever we are suffering and
experiencing is our own fault. It is the result of our good and bad activities. Kṛṣṇa is not responsible for our sufferings.
