The Lord is the only enjoyer
The creation and destruction is done by the Supreme will because of conditioned souls. Nitya-baddha, or the eternally conditioned souls have the sense of individuality or ahankara. Ahankara dictated them sense of enjoyment, which are unable to have constitutionally. The Lord is the only enjoyer and all others are enjoyed.

The Lord is the only enjoyer
Conditioned souls have strong aspiration to enjoy. Lord gives the chance to enjoy matter side by side He also gives chance to understand the real constitutional position. Fortunate souls who surrender to the lotus feet of Vasudeva after many, many births are allowed to enter into the Kingdom of God. They need not come with occasional material creation.

Others are merged into the mahat-tattva at the time of annihilation of the material creation. Primarily this mahat-tattva is divided into 16 parts. 5-gross elements, 11-working instruments or senses. This mahat-tattva is only an insignificant portion of the dazzling spiritual sky.
