Verse 1.3.16: We are reading about the different incarnations of the Lord. Today, we read about the tortoise incarnation of the Lord. He had the Mandaracala Hill resting on His back, so that the theists and atheists could use it to churn the ocean.
So from all these incarnations, we see how much love the Supreme Personality of Godhead has for us in that He comes time and again as different incarnations and attracts us back to His eternal abode. He performs various pastimes, destroys irreligion, just to attract us back.
It is not totally Maya's problem, it is actually our attachment's or bondage to this material world that cause us to remain here.
Eg: Guru, disciple, guru holding onto a tree and saying, hey tree leave, hey tree leave me.
Krishna gives an answer to this in Bhagavad-gita: If you take shelter of Me, you can easily come out of the bondage of the material world. How the ocean of nescience can be crossed by boat of the shelter of the spiritual master, this ocean becomes as small as foot print of a calf. Caitanya Mahaprabhu has given us this promise, that if we sincerely chant our 16 rounds everyday, and if we follow the regulative processes, we can for sure (Srila Prabhupada's promise) get out of this material world and go back home back to Godhead.
