In the Srimad Bhagavatam and in the Caitanya Caritamrta, Srila Prabhupada makes it clear that 25% of the jivas are in the material world while 75% are eternally liberated, or living in the `tripada vibhuti.” This indicates that free will exists eternally and that a fourth of all living entities always voluntarily chooses the path of material enjoyment.
