Srila Prabhupada simply answer to most complicated question

Jadurani: In May of 1969 Prabhupada visited Boston. Giriraj Swami had met Prabhupada when Prabhupada spoke at the University, and the next day Giriraj came to the temple and surrendered. Giriraj was a guest at the temple, when another guest asked, "Why is this material world here?" Prabhupada said, "Why is the cloud there?" The guest didn't know. None of us knew. Prabhupada said, "Because there is a need of rain. Similarly, there's a need for this material world." Just like the sky is there, from the sky comes the cloud, from the cloud comes the rain, from the rain comes the vegetation. Eventually, the vegetation is finished, the rain is finished, the cloud is finished, and only the sky is there.

Similarly, Krishna creates this world temporarily, because there is a need for the conditioned souls to come to the human form of life and become Krishna conscious. Prabhupada made the most complicated things accessible.
