Question why does Krishna have to come on such a tight schedule or or all the incarnations also have to come as per schedule for example Krishna comes in a particular day of Brahma in a particular manvantara in a particular time so is the absolute truth not independent to choose when he can descend answer yes definitely the absolute truth is free and is absolutely free and can descend whenever he chooses so when there are certain aspects of the absolute truth which are mentioned as specifics we have to understand that the specifics about the absolute truth are his choices it’s not that they are schedules that are imposed on him it is not that for example Krishna wears a peacock feather now why does he wear a peacock feather some people may try to give some metaphysical significance for that oh peacocks are beautiful and peacocks represent nature and Krishna loves nature and in the peacock there are all varieties of colors the absolute truth is the combination of all colors and to the speculative mind these sort of explanations may be titillating but generally the Gaudiya Vishnu Acharyas have not encouraged this kind of explanations because the idea of some explanations is that the analysis is deeper than the specific but that is not true with respect to the personality of the supreme lord because his personality, his form, his attributes are the highest truth and why does he wear a peacock feather simple answer is because he likes to he is a person, he has his choices and he chooses to do particular things in particular ways now we may say why does Krishna like cows, now we may give some reason oh cow is so gentle and cows in waste products are good and these are all valid points but it is not that because of all these things Krishna likes cows Krishna is a free person and he has his choices so he chooses to like cows and cows also have lovable attributes so we don’t try to extract some interpretation out of Krishna’s specific attributes similarly with respect to Krishna descending at particular times we understand that it is his choice it is not that that schedule has been made by somebody else and Krishna has to come at that particular schedule Krishna is not like a say a travelling performer who is hired by some company and who is told you have to go here at this time, you have to go here at this time and that person just has to go as per the schedule that is not how Krishna descends the schedule which is there why Krishna descends at a particular time or when Krishna descends that is decided by Krishna by his own free will and it is his free will that is reported and revealed in the scriptures so now can Krishna change when he descends, obviously he can he is absolute truth but he doesn’t because it is he who has chosen that and it is his choice that he continues to act according to now another point to recognize is that by descending according to schedule Krishna also ensures that those pseudo incarnations who claim to be God are exposed easily relatively speaking so that is of course an incidental result it is not that, that is the reason why Krishna descends at a particular time only but Krishna descending at a particular time which is also predicted in the scriptures helps to ensure that people cannot very easily claim to be God and delude others so that is also an incidental effect but first and foremost Krishna’s descent at particular times is by his own choice, now Krishna arranges also by his inconceivable power that when he descends at that time there is the absolute there is a need for his descent so dharma samstha panarthaya as it is said, so dharma is weakened at that particular time and Krishna comes to strengthen dharma at that particular time so how does that happen just like seasons are there, certain season certain weather is expected, similarly there are seasons in the cosmic cycles and at particular times there are disruptions so this is not entirely predestined by Krishna, people have their free will but Krishna arranges in such a way that that time there is adharma also and Krishna comes to counter the adharma and re-establish dharma, so all these factors that means Krishna’s own free choice the need for re-establishing dharma at that particular time and the safety measure so that fake incarnations cannot fake very easily all these purposes are served but ultimately it is Krishna’s free will and he by his free will chooses to come to a particular time so it’s not a tight schedule generally we use the word tight schedule when there are demands on us from others but it is not that Krishna’s schedule is not tight in the sense that it is not that somebody else has made the schedule and he has to follow it, he himself made the schedule and he comes by his choice thank you, I really appreciate it
