If it is accepted that Kṛṣṇa made the nature, not us, then it just makes it so much easier. You figure out what you do, and then you know where your strengths are and your weaknesses are. And then others also know.
We are just being asked to do what they do in the spiritual world. For them, because of their attachment to Kṛṣṇa that particular form and situation is manifest, while for us that has come because of our conditioned mentality. But the principle is the same.
Religion is not a matter of faith, religion is the laws of God. So, the living entity is the eternal servant of Kṛṣṇa. Without being servant you don't accomplish anything.
