God [or Krishna] is all you have said; all knowing, all loving and
all powerful and He wants the best for us. But He has given us
independence. Krishna is supremely independent and we are part and
parcel of Him, so we have the same qualities as Krishna, but in a small
quantity. He is supremely independent and we have a little
independence. So if we want to be evil Krishna won't stop us --
otherwise we wouldn't be independent.
So evil exists in the world not because of Krishna, but because of us.
We have misused our independence. Instead of serving Krishna we have
decided to be evil... It is Krishna's mercy that He appears Himself and
sends His representatives to reestablish religious principles when
they are lost. That is His all loving nature.
Hare Krishna!
Thank you. Hare Krishna!
