PURPORT

In Bhagavad-gita (7.26), Sri Krsna says:

vedaham samatitani

vartamanani carjuna

bhavisyani ca bhutani

mam tu veda na kascana “O Arjuna, as the Supreme Personality of Godhead, I know everything that has happened in the past, all that is happening in the present, and all things that are yet to come.

I also know all living entities, but Me no one knows.” Thus Krsna knows the cause of the distressed condition of the conditioned soul.

He therefore descends from His original position to instruct the conditioned soul and inform him about his forgetfulness of his relationship with Krsna.

Krsna exhibits Himself in His relationships in Vrndavana and at the Battle of Kuruksetra so that people will be attracted to Him and will again return home, back to Godhead.

Krsna also says in Bhagavad-gita that He is the proprietor of all universes, the enjoyer of everything that be and the friend of everyone.

Suhrdam sarva-bhutanam jnatva mam santim rcchati (Bg.5.29).

If we revive our original intimate relationship with Krsna, our distressed condition in the material world will be mitigated.

Everyone is trying to adjust to the distressed conditions of material existence, but the basic problems cannot be solved unless one is in an intimate relationship with Krsna.
