Why does Krishna, God, the Supreme Person, allow massacres to take place?
In truth, Krishna, God, the Supreme Person, allows killings or massacres to take place, but does not authorize them.
Many people do not understand why God authorizes the various killings of human beings, animals or even the destruction of vast wooded areas, and wonder if he really exists.
Do not accuse Lord Krishna wrongly, for behavior and faults that fall to man alone. Let's not put the blame on God, but on the men who, evident of power and wealth, take all the means at their disposal to increase their prestige, their power and their possessions.
These beings have made themselves known in the present age for their cruelty, such as Hitler, Mao Tse Tung, Pol Pot, and nowadays, Putin. What was the source of their cruelty?
Everything is done, in truth, by the sole will of God, the Supreme Person. In other words, when inveterate materialists want to commit all kinds of reprehensible acts, they will only be able to do so if the Lord allows them. They can do nothing without the consent of the Sovereign Lord.
Why does God allow some to commit wrongdoing?
In reality, Lord Krishna does not want anyone to act sinfully. He even implores every living being, through his good conscience, to refrain from sinning, from doing evil, from causing others to suffer.
However, when someone insists on doing wrong, the Supreme Lord gives him permission to fulfill his desires, but at his own risk. No one can do anything without the consent of the Lord, but Krishna shows such benevolence, that when the soul embodied and conditioned by matter and illusory energy persists in its pernicious desire, He allows it to act as he wishes, but at his own risk. Understand, he will have to suffer the consequences of his own sinful acts, and sooner or later endure the resulting suffering.
We must know that our thoughts, words and deeds produce good or bad effects, which cause consequences which we will suffer at the end of our present existence already, and certainly in our next life, in the form of joys or misfortunes, various difficulties, chronic disease, conflict with the law, or multiple suffering. No one can go against the divine laws. What we have done will be done to us. These are the risks and perils that God has emphasized in the form of a warning.
