We should know this amazing Knowledge Srila Prabhupada has given us explains everything, but only understood by those spiritually qualified to understand.

Spiritual energy (anti-matter) is an indestructible unlimited collection of unique individual living units (eternal persons).  

Which means individual eternal living personalities as a perpetual spiritual bodily form, headed by Krsna the Supreme Personality of Godhead and cause of all causes, and His individual direct Visnu-tattva expansions, and His devotee (jiva-tattvas or jiva-souls) expansions, all being individual persons, each as a eternal unique spiritual bodily form.

Krsna also has a further quality unique only to Him and His Visnu-tattva expansions like Paramatma (supersoul). 

Kṛṣṇa the Supreme Lord is not only just an individual person, He is also "all-pervasive" and is "all-one" with His spiritual and material creations. Krsna is "simultaneously one and different from His creation" as His Form Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu teaches (who is Radharani and Krsna combined)

The relationship between Krsna and His devotees is always a "two-sided" voluntary loving reciprocation and cooperation, based on loving exchanges, collaboration, returns, intensional benefactions and individual unique personal offerings.

Such a unique detached side with the individual jiva-souls from Krsna's absolute control, allows an independent separated nature within Krsna's creation, where the individual jiva-souls can always choose to express themselves with their own thoughts and actions the way they want seemingly outside Krsna's absolute control even though that sense of independence is also within Krsna's absolute plan.  

Actually nothing can happen or exist outside Krsna's plan, as explained in Bhagavad Gita As It Is- 

"Not a blade of grass can move without the will of the Lord." 

The full spiritual expression and potential of the living entities in the spiritual world (the Vaikuntha planets and Krsna’s (God's) central planet Goloka Vrindavana) is always experienced by Krsna, His unlimited Visnu-tattva expansions like Narayana, Visnu, Maha-Visnu, Garbhodakashayi Visnu, Paramatma (supersoul) etc.

And by His eternal individual separated jiva-souls (devotees), also expansions of Kṛṣṇa, who always experience a unique relationship with Krsna in a "two-way" open personal exchange, based on independent expressions of loving reciprocation and voluntary cooperation.

Krsna allows it to be this way because only by having a "two-way" relationship of loving voluntary exchanges between Kṛṣṇa and His expansions, is giving back to them in kindness and in quantity (reciprocating), allowing loving meaningful unique mysterous exchanges, returns and cooperation exist.

By having His creation on this "two-way" street of voluntary service, Kṛṣṇa is allowing a more diverse reality that encourages unlimited voluntary personal contributions from His devotees in the endless eternally youthful Kingdom of God.

The eternal relationship with Krsna (God) is openly expressed from "two angles" instead of one (just Krsna), on a "two-way" street instead of a one-sided autocracy that allows loving voluntary contributions, personal original exchanges, reciprocation that further allows independent unique expressions from the devotees (individual jiva-souĺs) that forever enrich and blissfully expand the relationship between Krsna and His direct expansions, and individual devotees (jiva-souls).

In other words, real love and experiencing personalism, is only possible between "two persons" both contributing to the relationship, and never just "one" person dominating and controlling the relationship like a puppet master controls and manipulates his puppets (impersonalism).

This allows genuine personalism that is only fully experienced on a "two-way" street, to prevail, denying impersonalism, or a "one-sided" loveless cold stagnant dictatorship.

Srila Prabhupāda – "Love means a relationship between "two persons," then there is exchange, then there is love. I must deal with you open-hearted, you must deal with me open-hearted, then there is love. So if you want to love Kṛṣṇa, God, then these things must be there." (Aug 9, 1976, Tehran)

Srila Prabhupada - "The impersonalist philosophy is oneness, so how there be love with just one? Is it possible? Have you got any such experience that love means one? No. Love means two. There must be two, the lover and the beloved. Kṛṣṇa is already lover. He loves you so much that He's trying to get you back. That is Kṛṣṇa's attempt. "Please, My dear boy, or My dear friend, My dear servant." (SB, Canto 2 Ch 1 text 3, Paris, June 12, 1974)

This means the individual jiva-souls (devotees) in the spiritual world can always express themselves as they choose and feel while serving Krsna, being independent from Krsna's authoritarian control that He allows so a two-way voluntary exchange can exist with His devotees.

Krsna allows this paradox (seemingly giving up His absolute control) to happen so that independent unique thoughts and actions from the individual jiva-souls can exist and always be openly expressed independently from Krsna in their own unique way, in unlimited personal ways that forever expand diversity in the spiritual world. 

Freedom of self-expression (free-will) must exist in the spiritual world on a "two-way" platform so the individual jiva-souls can express themselves in a particular service that they voluntary choose to do, and not chosen for them by Krsna, this is what a two-way street means. 

Each individual jiva-soul eternally has their own unique independent personality and character that allows them to forever voluntary expand their variety of devotional contributions (service) to Krsna.  

Therefore, the individual jiva-souls are always able to voluntary choose to serve Krsna in their own unique way, or can even reject Krsna if they choose. 

Without having such freedom of expression within one's individual constitution, then genuine voluntary loving exchanges, reciprocation and free will can never exist.

If Krsna denied the individual jiva-souls their freedom of expression (free-will), allowing them to eternally experience an independent sense of self, which is being able to make their own voluntary contributions eternally, then their existence as a unique meaningful individual person has no meaning at all, making them no better than dead stone or lifeless matter.

So, how does "free will" and the sense of being independent from Krsna work, when in actual fact, the individual jiva-souls are always fully dependent on Krsna and His Visnu-tattva expansions like Maha-Visnu? 

All that the individual jiva-souls have, plan and have, have always fitted into Krsna ultimate plan, where Krsna is always the Supreme Lord and controller of all that there is? 

Krsna allows the individual jiva-souls to do what ever they desire (choose), and such desires are always for filled by His Visnu-tattva expansions like Maha-Visnu, Garbhodakashayi Visnu, Brahma and the demigods in the material world who build and manage the temporary material world (Krsna's separated external energies) with their servants.

Why does Krsna allow the individual jiva-souls to express themselves seemingly independent from Him, that even includes rejecting Krsna if they choose, when in reality everything is Krsna's creation and belongs to Him, where all that there is, is under His control and always dependent on Krsna the Supreme Personality of Godhead and cause of all causes? 

The fact is, nothing can operate or exist separate from Krsna, not even a blade of grass can move without the will of the Lord. This is because Krsna (God) is the origin of all the spiritual and material worlds.

So how can the individual jiva-souls eternally experience a unique sense of independence and free will separate from Krsna?

The answer is explained above, paradoxically the individual jiva-souls have always been able to express themselves in their own unique way independent from Krsna and Viṣṇu because such freedom of expression, thoughts and deeds have always been part and parcel of Krsna's ultimate plan that is the only way of allowing a "two-way" open contributing connection and exchange between Kṛṣṇa and His individual devotees.

The individual jiva-souls having free will and an independent feeling of a sense of self is also within Krsna's absolute plan. 

In this way, Krsna's devotees (the individual jiva-souls) can eternally think for themselves and make their own decisions on how they want to voluntary serve Krsna in so many progressive ways, or not serve Him at all if they choose. This is the reality of free will sanctioned by Krsna and fully under His control.

This independence and free will gives the individual jiva-souls their unique autonomous nature that allows them to act as they desire seemingly separate from Krsna's total control.

But this only happens because Krsna allows it, after all, it is all His creation.

Such independence allows a "two-way" voluntary relationship between Krsna and His devotees, where the individual jiva-souls can act in almost anyway they choose, even against the desires of Kṛṣṇa if they want.

This means Krsna always allows the individual jiva-souls to express themselves in their own unique way, separate from being always controlled by Krsna like a puppet master controls every movement of his puppets. 

Krsna knows that such absolute power of control in a "one-sided" relationship that denies two-way is loveless impersonalism.

This is why Krsna allows a two-way relationship of voluntary service because He knows that without this, there can never be loving exchanges and cooperative reciprocation between Kṛṣṇa and His individual jiva-souls. 

Even though Krsna is the Supreme controller, without allowing the individual jiva-souls to also have their own unique freedom of choice, actions and thoughts, then His Kingdoms of the Vaikuntha planets and Goloka-Vrindavana would be loveless cold impersonal paradises, because love can never be experienced or shared with just one, not even Krsna or Visnu, there must be two.

Only the temporary material bodily vessels (matter) that the individual jiva-souls (anti-matter unique individual units [persons]) enter, are in constant decay, breaks down and eventually merges back into the "oneness" of material energy (matter). 

"Matter" - the material bodily vessels, are temporary and eventually decompose, cease to function and break down into different material elements, then again merge back into the "oneness" of material energy.  

"Anti-matter" - living individual life force, is not like that and is never "all-one" like matter is. The eternal individual jiva-soul (marginal living entity) or anti-matter, are individual living units or persons "within" the material bodily vessel and is an indestructible spiritual living individual PERSON who can never be destroyed, cut into pieces, terminated or extinguished in any way Bhagavad Gita tells us.

Also, no individual jiva-soul (anti-matter) can die, only the material body they occupy in the material world is subject to decline and decay and therefore temporary. 

In other words, the individual jiva-souls within a material bodily vessel, are forced to change their material bodily containers due to its temporary nature and demise therefore, becoming unsuitable to house the individual jiva-soul explained here in Bhagavad Gita-

Bhagavad Gita As It Is - "Never was there a time when I did not exist, nor you, nor all these kings; nor in the future shall any of us cease to be.” (BG, Ch 2 text 12)

Bhagavad Gita As It Is - "As the embodied soul continuously passes, in this body, from boyhood to youth to old age, the soul similarly passes into another body at death. A sober person is not bewildered by such a change." (BG, Ch 2 text 13)

Bhagavad Gita As It Is - "O son of Kuntī, the nonpermanent appearance of happiness and distress, and their disappearance in due course, are like the appearance and disappearance of winter and summer seasons. They arise from sense perception, O scion of Bharata, and one must learn to tolerate them without being disturbed." (BG, Ch 2 text 14)

Bhagavad Gita As It Is - "O best among men [Arjuna], the person who is not disturbed by happiness and distress and is steady in both is certainly eligible for liberation." (BG, Ch 2 text 15)

Bhagavad Gita As It Is - “Those who are seers of the truth have concluded that of the nonexistent [the material body] there is no endurance and of the eternal [the soul] there is no change. This they have concluded by studying the nature of both." (BG, Ch 2 text 16)

Bhagavad Gita As It Is - “That which pervades the entire body you should know to be indestructible. No one is able to destroy that imperishable soul." (BG, Ch 2 text 17)

Bhagavad Gita As It Is - “The material body of the indestructible, immeasurable and eternal living entity is sure to come to an end; therefore, fight, O descendant of Bharata." (BG, Ch 2 text 18)

Bhagavad Gita As It Is - “Neither he who thinks the living entity the slayer nor he who thinks it slain is in knowledge, for the self slays not nor is slain." (BG, Ch 2 text 19)

Bhagavad Gita As It Is - "For the soul there is neither birth nor death at any time. He has not come into being, does not come into being, and will not come into being. He is unborn, eternal, ever-existing and primeval. He is not slain when the body is slain." (BG, Ch 2 text 20 "corrected" 1983 edition)

Bhagavad Gita As It Is - "O Pārtha, how can a person who knows that the soul is indestructible, eternal, unborn and immutable kill anyone or cause anyone to kill?" (BG, Ch 2 text 21)

Bhagavad Gita As It Is - "As a person puts on new garments, giving up old ones, the soul similarly accepts new material bodies, giving up the old and useless ones." (BG, Ch 2 text 22)

Bhagavad Gita As It Is - "The soul can never be cut to pieces by any weapon, nor burned by fire, nor moistened by water, nor withered by the wind." (BG, Ch 2 text 23)

Bhagavad Gita As It Is - "This individual soul is unbreakable and insoluble, and can be neither burned nor dried. He is everlasting, present everywhere, unchangeable, immovable and eternally the same." (BG, Ch 2 text 24)

Bhagavad Gita As It Is - "It is said that the soul is invisible, inconceivable and immutable. Knowing this, you should not grieve for the material body." (BG, Ch 2 text 25)

Bhagavad Gita As It Is - "If, however, you think that the soul [or the symptoms of life] is always born and dies forever, you still have no reason to lament, O mighty armed." (BG, Ch 2 text 26)

Bhagavad Gita As It Is - "One who has taken his birth is sure to die, and after death one is sure to take birth again. Therefore, in the unavoidable discharge of your duty, you should not lament." (BG, Ch 2 text 27)

Bhagavad Gita As It Is - "All created beings are unmanifest in their beginning, manifest in their interim state, and unmanifest again when annihilated. So what need is there for lamentation?" (BG, Ch 2 text 28)

Bhagavad Gita As It Is - "Some look on the soul as amazing, some describe him as amazing, and some hear of him as amazing, while others, even after hearing about him, cannot understand him at all." (BG, Ch 2 text 29)

Bhagavad Gita As It Is - "O descendant of Bharata, he who dwells in the material body can never be slain. Therefore, you need not grieve for any living being." (BG, Ch 2 text 30)

All individual jīva-souls are eternal persons therefore there are no new individual jiva-souls being created because they have always existed.

Srila Prabhupada – "There are no new souls, new and old are due to this material body, but the jiva-soul is never born and never dies, so if there is no birth, how can there be new souls?" (Letter to Jagadisa dasa 9th July 1970)

The jiva-souls are living unique individual anti-matter living entities, individual PERSONS as an eternal spiritual bodily form who are beginningless and endless and therefore indestructible.**.

Unless there is chance of doing wrong or right there is no question of free will. Where is free will then? If I can only act one sided that means I have no free will.

Srila Prabhupada - "Free will means that you can act wrongly, that is free will. Unless there is chance of doing wrong or right there is no question of free will. Where is free will then? If I can only act one sided that means I have no free will. Because we act sometimes wrongly that means we have free will. In other words free will means there is always a choice."

Hayagriva dasa - "A man may know better but still act wrongly."

Srila Prabhupada - "Yes, but that is free will, some misuse their free will just like a thief, they know it is stealing, it is bad, but still they do it. But that is free will, they cannot check their greediness, so in spite of knowing they are doing the wrong thing by stealing and will be eventually be punished, they sill do it. They know; they have seen other thieves get punished and put into prison, everything they already know, but still they steal. Why? Misuse of free will! But unless there is the possibility to misuse free will, then there is no question of free will." (Talk on Rene Descartes philosophy with Srila Prabhupada and disciples)

Krsna never tells His devotees how to think, act or what to offer, Krsna prefers His devotees to choose for themselves how to serve Him Srila has explained to usus.

Srila Prabhupada - "The individual jiva-soul's position in the spiritual world is always voluntary, some devotees want to serve Krsna as flower; so they become flower there. If I want to be a flower I shall lie down at the lotus feet of Krsna and become flower, voluntarily. And one can change their spiritual bodily form, from flower to human bodily form, that is spiritual life. There is no restriction, if a devotee wants to serve Krsna as cow, they serve Krsna as cow, as calf, as flower, as plant, as water, as ground, as field or pathway, as father, as mother, as friend, as beloved, anything is possible, it is inconceivable, yet a fact." (SB, Canto 6 Ch 1 text 1-4, Melb, Australia May 20, 1975).÷÷.






There is one benediction Krsna, Visnu or Siva and their devotees can NEVER grant.

The intelligent impersonalist are very knowledgeable, they know Kṛṣṇa is an "eternal Person" and is the Supreme Personality of Godhead and cause of all causes, but do NOT follow Him or have any desire to serve Him.

The impersonalist have great knowledge of the Vedas, especially Bhagavad Gita Chapter 2 that tells them, "the soul is beginningless and endless and will never die."

But they do not accept that and only ask one benediction from Visnu which is to die! To come to an end and cease to exist so they never fall out of the inactive impersonal brahmajyoti.

They know that presently their impersonal beliefs allow them to enter the impersonal brahmajyoti and can remain there for a trillion life times of Lord Brahma but eventually again fall down from their and again and take birth in the material world.

The impersonalist do not want that because while inactive in the impersonal brahmajyoti for a trillion life times of Brahma, which is only a blink of an eye once the soul re-emerges and again takes birth in the material world.

So, a seemingly intelligent impersonalist, who wants nothing do do with the Vaikuntha planets of Visnu/Narayana, or Krsna's central Abode of Goloka-Vrindavana, ask Visnu to grant them (the soul) death and allow them to eternally reside in actively with no sense of self or existence in the impersonal brahmajyoti.

In other words the impersonalists want their identity and personality eternally extinguished. 

But Kṛṣṇa, Visnu or Siva can NEVER grant this attempted spiritual suicidal desire because the eternal nature of the individual jiva-soul in their original position, is being beginningless and endless, and fully "active" serving Krsna or Visnu.

Srila Prabhupāda - "Existence in the impersonal brahman (being inactive and identity extinguished) is also within the category of non-Krsna consciousness and is also only a temporary condition (because the nature of the soul is to be always active in Krsna's pastimes.) Those who are in the brahman effulgence are also in a fallen condition, so there is no question of falling down from a fallen condition. When fall takes place, it means falling down from the non-fallen condition (Goloka-Vrindavana and Vaikuntha). The non-fallen condition is Krsna consciousness." (Letter to Revatinandana dasa, LA 13 June, 1970 and 1971 London)

Srila Prabhupada – "There are no new souls, new and old are due to this material body, but the jiva-soul is never born and never dies, so if there is no birth, how can there be new souls?" (Letter to Jagadisa dasa, 9 July 1970)

Srila Prabhupada - "God is also an individual person eternally as you are individual person eternally, I am individual person, but the difference between God and you and me is this, that you know your business, I know my business, but God knows everyone's business. That is the difference." (Lecture Melb, Australia April 3, 1972)

Freedom of self-expression (free-will) must exist in the spiritual world so the eternal individual jiva-souls can have a "two-sided" cooperative reciprocal forever expanding relationship with Krsna.

Such unique independence eternally experienced by the individual jiva-souls, is allowed by Kṛṣṇa to permit and encourage voluntary expression in a service the devotees (individual jiva-souĺs) choose to do, and not chosen by Krsna. 

Each individual jiva-soul eternally has their own unique independent personality and spiritual bodily form, allowing them to expand their chosen devotional contributions and service that they offer to Krsna, or reject Krsna if they choose.  

The individual jiva-souls as part and parcel of their natural constitutional make up, can always voluntary choose to serve Krsna in the way they want, or can even reject Krsna if they choose. 

This must be the case if free will truly exists. 

Krsna (God) is the source of all things, nothing can operate or exist separate from Krsna, not even a blade of grass can move without the will of the Supreme Lord. 

So, how are the individual jiva-souls able to freely express themselves when everything is under Krsna's absolute control including free will and past, present and future? 

Those individual devotees who wrongly believe that the ultimate goal of devotional service and surrender to Krsna means to be Krsna's mindless slave, puppet and "yes" men and women, who, once in the Kingdom of God, are only told what to do and what to think, without providing personal contributions and unique offerings, are practising mindless impersonalism, which is the pathway leading to spiritual suicide.

Without such freedom of expression, then genuine voluntary loving exchanges and reciprocation with Krsna can never exist.

If Krsna denied the individual jiva-souls their freedom of expression (free-will), which is being able to make their own voluntary contributions eternally, then the existence of the individual jiva-souls being a unique meaningful contributing individual PERSON, has no meaning at all, making them no better than dead stone or lifeless matter. 

The full devotional potential of the individual jiva-souls does not allow them to be mindless brainless unproductive puppets, who are always only controlled by the dictates and demands of an impersonal puppeteer and denied the ability to make personal unique contributions.

Free will in its full potential, means one can choose to accept Kṛṣṇa, or reject Krsna, otherwise the concept of loving exchanges and free will is meaningless.

Srila Prabhupada - "So, unless there is a possibility of misusing our free will, there is no question of freedom." (Dialectical Spiritualism, Critique of Descartes).

Srila Prabhupada - "If you have no free will, then you are a stone. The stone has no free will. You want to be stone? Then you must have free will!" (Aug 5, 1976, New Mayapur France)

The paradox here is the individual jiva-souls have their own independence and free will too, even though Krsna is the Supreme Personality of Godhead, cause of all causes who knows everything, and is behind everything, and therefore  simultaneously one and different from His creation of the living entities and the spiritual and material worlds.

In other words, each individual jiva-soul (devotee)  has their own unique personality and character that is seemly always paradoxically separate from Krsna's Personality and absolute control, although we must never forget that Krsna is the cause of all causes behind everything and not a blade of grass can move without His sanction. 

Krsna allows it to be be this way allowing free will to create diversities within His own creation so a "two-sided" cooperative contributing or non-contributing relationship between the individual jiva-souls and Krsna can exist in His creation. 

If it was all a "one-way" totalitarian dictatorship without any diversity and unique independent contributions, expressed in a "two-way" exchange, for good or bad, that the individual jiva-souls can independently express, then the Kingdom of God is denying unique loving exchanges that only happen in "two-sided" cooperative reciprocation (personalism) leaving only an impersonal cold loveless existence of "oneness."

Srila Prabhupada - "The impersonalist philosophy is "oneness," so how there be love with just one? Is it possible? Have you got any such experience that love means one? "No, love means two." There MUST be two, the lover and the beloved. Kṛṣṇa is already lover. He loves you so much that He's trying to get you back. That is Kṛṣṇa's attempt. "Please, My dear boy, or My dear friend, My dear servant." (SB, Canto 2 Ch 1 text 3, Paris, June 12, 1974)

Srila Prabhupāda – "Love means a relationship between "two persons", then there is exchange, then there is love. I must deal with you open-hearted, you must deal with me open-hearted, then there is love. So if you want to love Kṛṣṇa, God, then these things must be there." (Aug 9, 1976, Tehran)

Srila Prabhupada - "We have got the propensity to love. Love means somebody else. Love cannot be one or love cannot be executed by only one, there must be two. I love somebody; somebody loves me, there must be lover, there must be beloved, and the transaction, then love." (SB, Canto 1 Ch 2 text 6, Delhi, Nov 12, 1973)

Srila Prabhupada - "Free will means that you can act wrongly. That is free will. Unless there is chance of doing wrong or right, there is no question of free will. Where is free will then? If I act only one sided, that means I have no free will. Because we act sometimes wrongly, that means free will." (Discussions with devotees on Rene Descartes philosophy)

Srila Prabhupada – "So everyone can know that independence means one can use it properly, one can misuse it. That is independence. If you make it one way only, that you cannot become fall down, that is not independence. That is force." (Mayapur, June 20, 1973)

Krsna personally allows the individual jiva-souls to have their free will so diversity and a variety of different actions and thoughts can be expressed in a "two-way" exchange of both cooperative and uncooperative nature according to free will meaning one canveven reject Krsna if they choose.

Therefore, even though Krsna is the Supreme Personality of Godhead and cause of all causes, and all living entities are fully dependent on Krsna, the paradox here is the individual jiva-souls also have their own unique freedom to express themselves the way they choose and not necessarily what Kṛṣṇa wants.

Free will only has meaning when the individual jiva-souls can express themselves freely, good or bad, in a "two-sided" voluntary affair exchanges and reciprocation or none-reciprocation with Krsna.

In other words, loving reciprocation is only possible when a "two-way" exchange is allowed and encouraged by Krsna so both the individual jiva-souls and Kṛṣṇa can each equally contribute to their relationship's expansion of nectarine mellows in devotional service. 

Yes, loving exchanges are only eternally possible on a "two-way street," meaning a cooperative spirit must exist between Kṛṣṇa and His devotees for love to exist.  

The word "reciprocation" only has meaning and expressed as loving exchanges when there are two involved, not one! 

Free will only has meaning when the individual jiva-souls can express themselves in an open "two-sided" loving affair without being manipulated, used, bullied or controlled in anyway.

Also being able to reject Krsna proves that "free will" does truly exist.

Having free will (freedom of expression) is the eternal constitutional make up of every marginal living entity (jiva-soul), and is the foundation for the individual jiva-soul's voluntary relationship with Krsna.

Even though Krsna allows the "freedom of expression" the individual jiva-souls have, it is really for His amusement, to see what they do with their eternal freedom of expression. 

Krsna at all times always has genuin eternal loving affection for His individual jiva-soul expansions (devotees) far more than they can ever have for Him. 

Yes, Krsna allows "free will" just to see what happens when the individual jiva-souls are given the freedom to voluntary make their own choices and decisions. 

And yes, some do choose to leave Krsna's association in the spiritual world and enter the temporary material world, and attempt to do as they please. 

Krsna always remains the Supreme Personality of Godhead, the cause of all causes, and behind everything that happens simply because it is all His creation.

Therefore, personal prayers to Krsna the Supreme controller do work because He knows everything.  

Just like the Sun-disc and the sun-rays cannot exist separately from each other, similarly Krsna cannot exist separately from His variety of living entities known as 

1 - Visnu-tattvas, unlimited direct expansions of Krsna the Supreme Personality of Godhead and cause of all causes. 

2 - Sakti-tattva as its full potential meaning - in this case refers to Srimati Radharani and Her unlimited expansions.  

3 - Siva-tattva, Lord Siva and his various expansions in the material world.

4 - Jiva-tattva, the individual jiva-souls or separated marginal living entities. Each individual eternal jiva-soul (marginal living entity) is a unique one of a kind independent individual that Kṛṣṇa allows, who have their own unique personality separate from Krsna's Personality, and all other individual jiva-souls.

Loving devotional service to Krsna is always is based on a "two-way" voluntary exchange of personal cooperative feelings manifesting as loving acts of devotion between Kṛṣṇa and His devotees, who go on too voluntarily contribute their own unique expressions (offerings) to Him as the real act of surrendering to Krsna's will that does not deny the free will and voluntary offerings of each individual jiva-soul.

On the other hand, when actions expressed in a "one-way" domineering forceful mood from a "so called God or His representative" in His Kingdom, denies personal voluntary contributions expressed cooperatively as a "two-way" exchange of character building loving emotions, only leaves the individual jiva-souls became no better than dead useless stone explained by Srila Prabhupada.

Srila Prabhupada - ''Love means you take and you give also. Suppose if you love somebody and you simply take from him, but you don't give. Oh, do you think it is very good? No. It is not good. That is not love. That is exploitation. If I go on simply taking from you, and if I don't offer you anything, that is simply exploitation." (Lecture BG, Ch 9 text 2-5, New York City, Nov 23, 1966)

Srila Prabhupada – "You have got little independence therefore you can violate. Because you are part and parcel of God you have got independence, proportionately, that independence has to be accepted, little independence, we can misuse that." (Mayapur, Feb 19, 1976).

Krsna never tells His devotees how to think, act or what to offer, Krsna prefers His devotees to choose for themselves how to serve Him.

Srila Prabhupada - "The individual jiva-soul's position in the spiritual world is always voluntary, some devotees want to serve Krsna as flower; so they become flower there. If I want to be a flower I shall lie down at the lotus feet of Krsna and become flower, voluntarily. And one can change their spiritual bodily form, from flower to human bodily form, that is spiritual life. There is no restriction, if a devotee wants to serve Krsna as cow, they serve Krsna as cow, as calf, as flower, as plant, as water, as ground, as field or pathway, as father, as mother, as friend, as beloved, anything is possible, it is inconceivable, yet a fact." (SB, Canto 6 Ch 1 text 1-4, Melb, Australia May 20, 1975).=÷=.

Krsna (God) is the source of all things, nothing can operate or exist separate from Krsna, not even a blade of grass can move without the will of the Supreme Lord.

So, how are the individual jiva-souls able to freely express themselves when everything is under Krsna's absolute control including free will and past, present and future? 

Those individual devotees who wrongly believe that the ultimate goal of devotional service and surrender to Krsna means to be Krsna's mindless slave, puppet and "yes" men and women, who, once in the Kingdom of God, are only told what to do and what to think, without providing personal contributions and unique offerings, are practising mindless impersonalism, which is the pathway leading to spiritual suicide.

Freedom of self-expression (free-will) must exist in the spiritual world so the eternal individual jiva-souls can have a "two-sided" cooperative reciprocal forever expanding relationship with Krsna. 

Such unique independence eternally experienced by the individual jiva-souls, is allowed by Kṛṣṇa to permit and encourage voluntary expression in a service the devotees (individual jiva-souĺs) choose to do, and not chosen by Krsna. 

Each individual jiva-soul eternally has their own unique independent personality and spiritual bodily form, allowing them to expand their chosen devotional contributions and service that they offer to Krsna, or reject Krsna if they choose.  

The individual jiva-souls as part and parcel of their natural constitutional make up, can always voluntary choose to serve Krsna in the way they want, or can even reject Krsna if they choose. 

This must be the case if free will truly exists. 

Without such freedom of expression, then genuine voluntary loving exchanges and reciprocation with Krsna can never exist.

If Krsna denied the individual jiva-souls their freedom of expression (free-will), which is being able to make their own voluntary contributions eternally, then the existence of the individual jiva-souls being a unique meaningful contributing individual PERSON, has no meaning at all, making them no better than dead stone or lifeless matter. 44⁴

The full devotional potential of the individual jiva-souls does not allow them to be mindless brainless unproductive puppets, who are always only controlled by the dictates and demands of an impersonal puppeteer and denied the ability to make personal unique contributions.

Free will in its full potential, means one can choose to accept Kṛṣṇa, or reject Krsna, otherwise the concept of loving exchanges and free will is meaningless.

Srila Prabhupada - "So, unless there is a possibility of misusing our free will, there is no question of freedom." (Dialectical Spiritualism, Critique of Descartes).

Srila Prabhupada - "If you have no free will, then you are a stone. The stone has no free will. You want to be stone? Then you must have free will!" (Aug 5, 1976, New Mayapur France)

The paradox here is the individual jiva-souls have their own independence and free will too, even though Krsna is the Supreme Personality of Godhead, cause of all causes and simultaneously one but different from His creation of the spiritual and material worlds.

In other words, each individual jiva-soul (devotee)  has their own unique personality and character that is seemly always paradoxically separate from Krsna's Personality and absolute control, although we must never forget that Krsna is the cause of all causes behind everything and not a blade of grass can move without His sanction. ⁸

Krsna allows it to be be this way allowing free will to create diversities within His own creation so a "two-sided" cooperative contributing or non-contributing relationship between the individual jiva-souls and Krsna can exist in His creation. 

If it was all a "one-way" totalitarian dictatorship without any diversity and unique independent contributions, expressed in a "two-way" exchange, for good or bad, that the individual jiva-souls can independently express, then the Kingdom of God is denying unique loving exchanges that only happen in "two-sided" cooperative reciprocation (personalism) leaving only an impersonal cold loveless existence of "oneness."

Srila Prabhupada - "The impersonalist philosophy is oneness, so how there be love with just one? Is it possible? Have you got any such experience that love means one? No. Love means two. There must be two, the lover and the beloved. Kṛṣṇa is already lover. He loves you so much that He's trying to get you back. That is Kṛṣṇa's attempt. "Please, My dear boy, or My dear friend, My dear servant." (SB, Canto 2 Ch 1 text 3, Paris, June 12, 1974)

Srila Prabhupāda – "Love means a relationship between "two persons", then there is exchange, then there is love. I must deal with you open-hearted, you must deal with me open-hearted, then there is love. So if you want to love Kṛṣṇa, God, then these things must be there." (Aug 9, 1976, Tehran)

Srila Prabhupada - "We have got the propensity to love. Love means somebody else. Love cannot be one or love cannot be executed by only one, there must be two. I love somebody; somebody loves me, there must be lover, there must be beloved, and the transaction, then love." (SB, Canto 1 Ch 2 text 6, Delhi, Nov 12, 1973)

Srila Prabhupada - "Free will means that you can act wrongly. That is free will. Unless there is chance of doing wrong or right, there is no question of free will. Where is free will then? If I act only one sided, that means I have no free will. Because we act sometimes wrongly, that means free will." (Philosophy Discussions with Rene Descartes)

Srila Prabhupada – "So everyone can know that independence means one can use it properly, one can misuse it. That is independence. If you make it one way only, that you cannot become fall down, that is not independence. That is force." (Mayapur, June 20, 1973)

Krsna personally allows the individual jiva-souls to ⁵have free will, so diversity expressed in a "two-way" cooperative spirit, eternally exists.

Therefore, even though Krsna is the Supreme Personality of Godhead and cause of all causes, and all living entities are fully dependent on Krsna, the paradox here is the individual jiva-souls have their unique freedom too eternally.

Free will only has meaning when the individual jiva-souls can express themselves freely in a "two-sided" voluntary affair of loving exchanges and reciprocation with Krsna.

In other words, loving reciprocation is only possible in a "two-way" exchange with both the individual jiva-souls and Kṛṣṇa both contributing to the relationship's expansion of nectarine mellows of devotional service. 

Yes, loving exchanges are only eternally possible on a "two-way street," meaning a cooperative spirit between Kṛṣṇa and His devotees.  

The word "reciprocation" only has meaning and expressed as loving exchanges when there are two involved, not one! 

Free will only has meaning when the individual jiva-souls can express themselves in an open "two-sided" loving affair without being manipulated, used, bullied or controlled in anyway.

Also being able to reject Krsna proves that "free will" does truly exist.

Having free will (freedom of expression) is the eternal constitutional make up of every marginal living entity (jiva-soul), and is the foundation for the individual jiva-soul's voluntary relationship with Krsna.

Even though Krsna allows the "freedom of expression" the individual jiva-souls have, it is really for His amusement, to see what they do with their eternal freedom of expression. 

Krsna at all times always has genuin eternal loving affection for His individual jiva-soul expansions (devotees) far more than they can ever have for Him. 

Yes, Krsna allows "free will" just to see what happens when the individual jiva-souls are given the freedom to voluntary make their own choices and decisions. 

And yes, some do choose to leave Krsna's association in the spiritual world and enter the temporary material world, and attempt to do as they please. 

Krsna always remains the Supreme Personality of Godhead and cause of all causes and all that is happening is also His divine plan.

Just like the Sun-disc and the sun-rays cannot exist separately from each other, similarly Krsna cannot exist separately from His variety of living entities known as 

1 - Visnu-tattvas, unlimited direct expansions of Krsna the Supreme Personality of Godhead and cause of all causes. 

2 - Sakti-tattva as its full potential meaning - in this case refers to Srimati Radharani and Her unlimited expansions.  

3 - Siva-tattva, Lord Siva and his various expansions in the material world.

4 - Jiva-tattva, the individual jiva-souls or separated marginal living entities. Each individual eternal jiva-soul (marginal living entity) is a unique one of a kind independent individual that Kṛṣṇa allows, who have their own unique personality separate from Krsna's Personality, and all other individual jiva-souls.

Loving devotional service to Krsna is always is based on a "two-way" voluntary exchange of personal cooperative feelings manifesting as loving acts of devotion between Kṛṣṇa and His devotees, who go on too voluntarily contribute their own unique expressions (offerings) to Him as the real act of surrendering to Krsna's will that does not deny the free will and voluntary offerings of each individual jiva-soul.

On the other hand, when actions expressed in a "one-way" domineering forceful mood from a "so called God or His representative" in His Kingdom, denies personal voluntary contributions expressed cooperatively as a "two-way" exchange of character building loving emotions, only leaves the individual jiva-souls became no better than dead useless stone explained by Srila Prabhupada.

Srila Prabhupada - ''Love means you take and you give also. Suppose if you love somebody and you simply take from him, but you don't give. Oh, do you think it is very good? No. It is not good. That is not love. That is exploitation. If I go on simply taking from you, and if I don't offer you anything, that is simply exploitation." (Lecture BG, Ch 9 text 2-5, New York City, Nov 23, 1966)

Srila Prabhupada – "You have got little independence therefore you can violate. Because you are part and parcel of God you have got independence, proportionately, that independence has to be accepted, little independence, we can misuse that."(Mayapur, Feb 19, 1976).

Krsna never tells His devotees how to think or what to offer, Krsna prefers His devotees to choose for themselves how to serve Him.

Srila Prabhupada - "The individual jiva-soul's position in the spiritual world is always voluntary, some devotees want to serve Krsna as flower; so they become flower there. If I want to be a flower I shall lie down at the lotus feet of Krsna and become flower, voluntarily.

Wednesday, May 14, 2025

We should know this amazing Knowledge Srila Prabhupada has given us explains everything, but only understood by those spiritually qualified to understand.

Spiritual energy (anti-matter) is an indestructible unlimited collection of unique "individual living units" (persons).  

Which means individual eternal living personalities as a perpetual spiritual bodily form, headed by Krsna the Supreme Personality of Godhead and cause of all causes, and His individual direct Visnu-tattva expansions, and His devotee (jiva-tattvas or jiva-souls) expansions, all being individual persons, each as an eternal unique spiritual bodily form.

Krsna also has a further quality unique only to Him and His Visnu-tattva expansions like Paramatma (Supersoul). 

Kṛṣṇa the Supreme Lord is not only just an individual person, He is also "all-pervasive" and is "all-one" with His spiritual and material creations. Krsna is "simultaneously one and different from His creation" as His Form Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu teaches (who is the Personality Radharani and Krsna's Personality combined)

The relationship between Krsna and His individual devotees is always established as a "two-sided" voluntary loving caring relationship based on mutual reciprocation and cooperation, that further encourages genuine loving exchanges, collaboration, returns, intenstional benefactions and individual unique personal offerings.

Such a unique detached side with the individual jiva-souls from Krsna's absolute control, allows an independent separated nature within Krsna's creation, where the individual jiva-souls can always choose to express themselves with their own thoughts and actions the way they want seemingly outside Krsna's absolute control even though that sense of independence is also within Krsna's absolute plan.  

Actually nothing can happen or exist outside Krsna's plan, as explained in Bhagavad Gita As It Is- 

"Not a blade of grass can move without the will of the Lord." 

The full spiritual expression and potential of the living entities in the spiritual world (the Vaikuntha planets and Krsna’s (God's) central planet Goloka Vrindavana) is always experienced by Krsna, His unlimited Visnu-tattva expansions like Narayana, Visnu, Maha-Visnu, Garbhodakashayi Visnu, Paramatma (Supersoul) etc.

And by His eternal individual separated jiva-souls (devotees), also expansions of Kṛṣṇa, who always experience a unique relationship with Krsna in a "two-way" open personal exchange, based on independent expressions of loving reciprocation and voluntary cooperation.

Krsna allows it to be this way because only by having a "two-way" relationship of loving voluntary exchanges between Kṛṣṇa and His expansions, is giving back to them in kindness and in quantity (reciprocating), allowing loving meaningful unique mysterous exchanges, returns and cooperation exist.

By having His creation on this "two-way" street of voluntary service, Kṛṣṇa is allowing a more diverse reality that encourages unlimited voluntary personal contributions from His devotees in the endless eternally youthful Kingdom of God.

The eternal relationship with Krsna (God) is openly expressed from "two angles" instead of one (just Krsna), on a "two-way" street instead of a one-sided autocracy that allows loving voluntary contributions, personal original exchanges, reciprocation that further allows independent unique expressions from the devotees (individual jiva-souĺs) that forever enrich and blissfully expand the relationship between Krsna and His direct expansions, and individual devotees (jiva-souls).

In other words, real love (personalism) is only possible between "two persons" both contributing to the relationship, and never just one person including Krsna (impersonalism).

This allows genuine personalism that is only fully experienced on a "two-way" street, to prevail, denying impersonalism, or a "one-sided" loveless cold stagnant dictatorship.

Srila Prabhupāda – "Love means a relationship between "two persons," then there is exchange, then there is love. I must deal with you open-hearted, you must deal with me open-hearted, then there is love. So if you want to love Kṛṣṇa, God, then these things must be there." (Aug 9, 1976, Tehran)

Srila Prabhupada - "The impersonalist philosophy is oneness, so how there be love with just one? Is it possible? Have you got any such experience that love means one? No. Love means two. There must be two, the lover and the beloved. Kṛṣṇa is already lover. He loves you so much that He's trying to get you back. That is Kṛṣṇa's attempt. "Please, My dear boy, or My dear friend, My dear servant." (SB, Canto 2 Ch 1 text 3, Paris, June 12, 1974)

Srila Prabhupada - "Love is properly expressed only when there is a two-way exchange meaning you take and you also give. Suppose you love somebody and you simply keep taking from him/her, but you don't give in return (reciprocate). Oh, do you think that is very good? No, it is not good, that is not love, that is exploitation. If I go on simply taking from you, and if I don't offer you anything, that is simply exploitation." (Lecture BG, Ch 9 text 2-5, New York City, Nov 23, 1966)

Srila Prabhupada – "So everyone can know that independence (free will) means one can use it properly, or one can misuse it. That is independence (free will). If you make it one way only, that is not independence, that is force." (LA, June 23, 1975)

Srila Prabhupada - "As soon as we try, "oh, this material world is very nice, Yes," Kṛṣṇa says, yes, you can go Otherwise what is the meaning of free will? Every living entity has got a little free will. And Kṛṣṇa is so kind, He gives him opportunity, "All right, you enjoy like this." It is free will." (Morning Walk Cheviot Hills May 13, 1973, Los Angeles)

Srila Prabhupada  - "Free will means that you can act wrongly or rightly, that is free will. Unless there is chance of doing wrong or right, there is no question of free will. Where is free will then? If I act only one sided, that means I have no free will. Because we act sometimes wrongly, that means free will."

Hayagriva dasa - "A man may know better but still act wrongly."

Srila Prabhupada - "Yes, but that is free will, he misuses his fee will. Just like a thief, he knows that his stealing, it is bad, but still he does it. That is free will. He cannot check his greediness, so in spite of his knowing that he is doing wrong thing—he will be punished, he knows; he has seen another thief, he was punished, he was put into prison— everything he knows, but still he steals. Why? Misuse of free will. Unless there is a possible misuse of free will, there is no question of free will." (Talk on Rene Descartes  with Prabhupada and Hayagriva dasa)

Krsna never tells His devotees how to think or what to offer, Krsna prefers His devotees to choose for themselves how to serve Him.

Srila Prabhupada - "The individual jiva-soul's position in the spiritual world is always voluntary, some devotees want to serve Krsna as flower; so they become flower there. If I want to be a flower I shall lie down at the lotus feet of Krsna and become flower, voluntarily. And one can change their spiritual bodily form, from flower to human bodily form, that is spiritual life. There is no restriction, if a devotee wants to serve Krsna as cow, they serve Krsna as cow, as calf, as flower, as plant, as water, as ground, as field or pathway, as father, as mother, as friend, as beloved, anything is possible, it is inconceivable, yet a fact." (SB, Canto 6 Ch 1 text 1-4, Melb, Australia May 20, 1975)

This means the individual jiva-souls (devotees) in the spiritual world can always express themselves as they choose and feel while serving Krsna, being independent from Krsna's authoritarian control that He allows so a two-way voluntary exchange can exist with His devotees.

Krsna allows this paradox (seemingly giving up His absolute control) to happen so that independent unique thoughts and actions from the individual jiva-souls can exist and always be openly expressed independently from Krsna in their own unique way, in unlimited personal ways that forever expand diversity in the spiritual world. 

Freedom of self-expression (free-will) must exist in the spiritual world on a "two-way" platform so the individual jiva-souls can express themselves in a particular service that they voluntary choose to do, and not chosen for them by Krsna, this is what a two-way street means. 

Each individual jiva-soul eternally has their own unique independent personality and character that allows them to forever voluntary expand their variety of devotional contributions (service) to Krsna.  

Therefore, the individual jiva-souls are always able to voluntary choose to serve Krsna in their own unique way, or can even reject Krsna if they choose. 

Without having such freedom of expression within one's individual constitution, then genuine voluntary loving exchanges, reciprocation and free will can never exist.

If Krsna denied the individual jiva-souls their freedom of expression (free-will), allowing them to eternally experience an independent sense of self, which is being able to make their own voluntary contributions eternally, then their existence as a unique meaningful individual person has no meaning at all, making them no better than dead stone or lifeless matter.

So, how does "free will" and the sense of being independent from Krsna work, when in actual fact, the individual jiva-souls are always fully dependent on Krsna and His Visnu-tattva expansions like Maha-Visnu? 

All that the individual jiva-souls have, plan and have, have always fitted into Krsna ultimate plan, where Krsna is always the Supreme Lord and controller of all that there is? 

Krsna allows the individual jiva-souls to do what ever they desire (choose), and such desires are always for filled by His Visnu-tattva expansions like Maha-Visnu, Garbhodakashayi Visnu, Brahma and the demigods in the material world who build and manage the temporary material world (Krsna's separated external energies) with their servants.

Why does Krsna allow the individual jiva-souls to express themselves seemingly independent from Him, that even includes rejecting Krsna if they choose, when in reality everything is Krsna's creation and belongs to Him, where all that there is, is under His control and always dependent on Krsna the Supreme Personality of Godhead and cause of all causes? 

The fact is, nothing can operate or exist separate from Krsna, not even a blade of grass can move without the will of the Lord. This is because Krsna (God) is the origin of all the spiritual and material worlds.

So how can the individual jiva-souls eternally experience a unique sense of independence and free will separate from Krsna?

The answer is explained above, paradoxically the individual jiva-souls have always been able to express themselves in their own unique way independent from Krsna and Viṣṇu because such freedom of expression, thoughts and deeds have always been part and parcel of Krsna's ultimate plan that is the only way of allowing a "two-way" open contributing connection and exchange between Kṛṣṇa and His individual devotees.

The individual jiva-souls having free will and an independent feeling of a sense of self is also within Krsna's absolute plan. 

In this way, Krsna's devotees (the individual jiva-souls) can eternally think for themselves and make their own decisions on how they want to voluntary serve Krsna in so many progressive ways, or not serve Him at all if they choose. This is the reality of free will sanctioned by Krsna and fully under His control.

This independence and free will gives the individual jiva-souls their unique autonomous nature that allows them to act as they desire seemingly separate from Krsna's total control.

But this only happens because Krsna allows it, after all, it is all His creation.

Such independence allows a "two-way" voluntary relationship between Krsna and His devotees, where the individual jiva-souls can act in almost anyway they choose, even against the desires of Kṛṣṇa if they want.

This means Krsna always allows the individual jiva-souls to express themselves in their own unique way, separate from being always controlled by Krsna like a puppet master controls every movement of his puppets. 

Krsna knows that such absolute power of control in a "one-sided" relationship that denies two-way is loveless impersonalism.

This is why Krsna allows a two-way relationship of voluntary service because He knows that without this, there can never be loving exchanges and cooperative reciprocation between Kṛṣṇa and His individual jiva-souls. 

Even though Krsna is the Supreme controller, without allowing the individual jiva-souls to also have their own unique freedom of choice, actions and thoughts, then His Kingdoms of the Vaikuntha planets and Goloka-Vrindavana would be loveless cold impersonal paradises, because love can never be experienced or shared with just one, not even Krsna or Visnu, there must be two.<<***>>
