That is your fault. It is not Kṛṣṇa's fault.

If you infect the smallpox disease, then you must be suffering from smallpox. That is law of nature. Not that your father has created smallpox disease for you. Try to understand like this. You infect yourself. (break) . . . giving him chance.

Dr. Patel: Chance. But you, as a jīva, is so much engrossed in the māyā, in the tree, in the fruits of it, that you don't heed the God . . .

Prabhupāda: Yes, yes.
