If the soul is marginal energy, how can it never fall after attaining Krishna?

Krishna says in the BG that once we return to Him, we never come back. How does that gel with the fact that because of our marginal position we’re like the beach at the edge of the ocean, sometimes getting covered with water and sometimes not.

Hare Krishna Question when the soul goes back to the spiritual world it is said that soul never falls back how does this gel with the fact that we are we are and we always have free will so can’t we again misuse our free will and fall to the material world answer yes, theoretically we can say that soul always has free will but at the same time when the soul has awakened love for Krishna at that time the soul is bound by love and Baldevidya Bhushan talks about this addresses the subject elaborately in his commentary to the last sutra of the Vedanta sutra in his Govinda Bhashya commentary so the last sutra is Anavrtti Shabdad Anavrtti Shabdad so the sutra is repeated twice which Baldevidya Bhushan says is for indicating completion of the sutra Anavrtti Aavrtti Prabhupada translates this as the uncovering Anavrtti, uncovering of consciousness happens through Shabd sound Baldevidya Bhushan goes along with the more traditional reading of this verse where he says that Aavrtti means to come back, Anavrtti means to not come back so in the 8th chapter of the Bhagavad Gita is Punar Aavrttino and Anavrttino this word is used in this sense also so Anavrtti means not coming back Shabdad Shabdad means this is the declaration of Shabda and then Baldev quotes many verses from scripture of course the most famous is Anavrtti Anavrtti Anavrtti 8.15 and 16 Anavrtti Anavrtti so two successive verses Krishna talks about one doesn’t come back to this world if one attains his abode and then he says that what is the basis for this he further elaborates on this particular declaration of scripture that actually the devotee is bound by love to the Lord and the Lord is bound by love to the devotee so for example from the devotee’s perspective in the Bhagavad Gita Dhautatma Purusha Krishna Paadamulam na munchati mukta sarva pariklesha Paanthah swasaranam yatha so the second canto said that Paanthah swasaranam yatha this is a wandering person the person comes back home at that time what happens is Paanthah swasaranam the person comes back the wandering person comes back home the person feels comfortable, feels happy similarly a purified soul when the consciousness is fixed in Krishna’s lotus feet the consciousness never wants to leave Krishna’s lotus feet so the soul similarly when the soul attains Krishna the soul doesn’t want to ever leave Krishna and then further records from the Ambarish Maharaj pastime where it is said that the devotees give up everything for the Lord’s sake and then that how can the Lord be ready to give up the devotees so one is from the the devotees when they attain the Lord they never give up the Lord and the other is when the Lord sees that the devotees have given up everything for his sake how can they give up anything how can he give them up he can never give them up so the devotees and the Lord are bound by love and because they are bound by love there is this is a bondage which is entirely voluntary and being voluntary entirely it is not something which can will be given up yes there is the possibility the soul can choose otherwise but because there is the ecstasy of love that is being experienced and because we could further add the soul has already experienced material existence as we say once born twice shy so with that one if one has experienced the misery of material existence one has experienced the ecstasy of spiritual love then there is although the possibility is there the probability is improbable is improbably low it’s extremely unlikely possibility is something can happen probability is something is likely to happen so the probability is near zero because the soul has experienced both the ecstasy of spiritual love and the misery of separation from God and thereby so with you still having the free will still being with Arastha Shakti the soul chooses to always be with Krishna and in this way the eternal state eternal union of the soul with Krishna is not because of the deprivation of the free will but it is by the perfection of the free will soul always uses the free will wisely thank you Hare Krishna
