[Guest guest]

My friend asked me how to get out of such a cycle

of sinning and atonement,sinning and atonement...etc.?

 

He's afraid that God is going to lose all patience and pull the rug from underneath him.

He needs this because it is useless to go through atonement unless the roots of desires are pulled out. See this:

 

"SB 6.1.11. Sukadeva Gosvami, the son of Vedavyasa, answered: My dear King, since acts meant to neutralize impious actions are also fruitive, they will not release one from the tendency to act fruitively. Persons who subject themselves to the rules and regulations of atonement are not at all intelligent. Indeed, they are in the mode of darkness. Unless one is freed from the mode of ignorance, trying to counteract one action through another is useless because this will not uproot one's desires. Thus even though one may superficially seem pious, he will undoubtedly be prone to act impiously. Therefore real atonement is enlightenment in perfect knowledge, Vedanta, by which one understands the Supreme Absolute Truth."

 

Krishna even says that to those He is merciful He removes all material capacities so that the soul will surrender to Krishna's will instead of his mind's will.

Bhagavad gita 10.10

 

teSAM satata-yuktAnAM / bhajatAM priti-pUrvakam

dadAmi buddhi-yogaM taM / yena mAm upayAnti te

 

teSAM —for those; bhajatAM —who worship Me; priti-pUrvakam —

with love; (and) satata-yuktAnAM —who desire My eternal connection;

dadAmi —I bestow; tam—that; buddhi-yogam—transcendental

knowledge; yena—whereby; te—they; upayAnti —

approach; mAm—Me.

 

Upon those who perform bhajana to Me with love,

yearning for My eternal association,

I bestow the transcendental knowledge

by which they can come to Me.

 

“So, they attain satisfaction and bliss. According to Your

statement, Your bhaktas attain supreme bliss only by performing

bhakti to You. It is therefore clear that they are

beyond the guNas. But how do they get direct realisation

of You and from whom do they learn the process to achieve

it?” Anticipating this question from Arjuna, Sri Bhagavan

speaks this Sloka beginning with the word teSAm. “I Myself

inspire all of the natural tendencies within the hearts of

those who desire My eternal association so that they

achieve this. This buddhi-yoga cannot be achieved by individual

effort or obtained from someone. It is bestowed by

Me alone and only such loving bhaktas are qualified to receive

it. After being blessed with this buddhi-yoga, they

achieve Me.”
