Departure of Lord Kṛṣṇa for Dvārakā

PURPORT
The living entities are parts and parcels of the Lord. They are of two varieties, namely the  nitya-mukta  and  nitya-baddha . The  nitya-muktas  are eternally liberated souls, and they are eternally engaged in the reciprocation of transcendental loving service with the Lord in His eternal abode beyond the manifested mundane creations. But the  nitya-baddha  or eternally conditioned souls are entrusted to His external energy,  māyā , for rectification of their rebellious attitude towards the Supreme Father.  Nitya-baddhas  are eternally forgetful of their relation with the Lord as parts and parcels. They are bewildered by the illusory energy as products of matter, and thus they are very busy in making plans in the material world for becoming happy. They go on merrily with plans, but by the will of the Lord both the planmakers and the plans are annihilated at the end of a certain period, as above mentioned. This is confirmed in the  Bhagavad-gītā  as follows: “O son of Kuntī, when the period of a  kalpa  [the duration of the life of Brahmā] is ended, all the living entities merge unto My nature, and again when the time of creation is ripe, I begin creation by the agency of My external energy.” (Bg. 9.7)
The word  bhūyaḥ  indicates again and again, that is to say the process of creation, maintenance and annihilation is going on perpetually by the external energy of the Lord. He is the cause of everything. But the living beings who are constitutionally the parts and parcels of the Lord and are forgetful of the sweet relation, are given a chance again to get rid of the clutches of the external energy. And to revive his (the living being’s) consciousness, the revealed scriptures are also created by the Lord. Vedic literatures are the guiding directions for the conditioned souls so they can get free from the repetition of creation and annihilation of the material world and the material body.
The Lord says in the  Bhagavad-gītā , “This created world and material energy are under My control. Under the influence of  prakṛti , automatically they are created again and again, and this is done by Me through the agency of My external energy.”
Actually the spiritual spark living entities have no material names or forms. But in order to fulfill their desire to lord it over the material energy of material forms and names, they are given a chance for such false enjoyment, and at the same time they are given a chance to understand the real position through the revealed scriptures.
