The Spirit Soul is certainly eternal and changeless; and the fall is superficial, just like the relation between father and son cannot be broken ever. Now we are simply in a phase of forgetfulness, and this forgetfulness is called Maya. There is a nice example in the waning of the moon. To us the moon appears to be changing, but in fact the moon is always the same. So as eternal servitors of Krishna—our constitutional position—we fall down when we try to become the enjoyer, imitating Krishna. That is our downfall. Krishna is the Supreme Enjoyer, and we are constitutionally to be enjoyed by Him, and when we revive this constitutional position there is no more Maya.

Anyone's special talent should be engaged in the service of the Lord, and thereby become successful in life….. We are not meant for learning something new for the service of the Lord; but we have to engage whatever talents we have already got.
Correspondence, Vrindavan, August 1967

A person who is very careful about his health does not generally fall ill. Similarly a person who is always fixed up in Krishna consciousness cannot be defeated by maya.
Sometimes in spite of our full Krishna consciousness we fall a victim to maya but that is temporary just as seasonal changes; such calamities do come & pass away & we have to endure them.
