Just so Krsna can experience loving reciprocation, cooperation in a two-way exchange with another, Krsna divided Himself into two, Radha and Krsna.

Srimati Radharani is not jiva-tattva, which means She is not an individual jiva-soul expansion from Krsna like us, no, She is non-different from Krsna, being His direct expansion. This is because love can only exist when there are two individuals reciprocating with each other in two-sided exchange of loving emotions that can never exist with just one on their own.

Krsna therefore divided Himself into "two" just so He could experience loving reciprocal exchanges with a women and gave Her the name Srimati Radharani. Love can never be experienced and realized with just one, there must be "two," "Radha and Krsna." For even Krsna, love can never exist when there is just "one", there must "two," therefore Krsna divides Himself into two, Kṛṣṇa and His other half, the most attractive Srimati Radharani.

Srila Prabhupada - "When Krsna wants to be attracted by a woman, He has to create such a woman from His own energy. That woman is Rādhārāṇī. It is explained by the Gosvāmīs that Rādhārāṇī is the manifestation of the pleasure potency of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. When the Supreme Lord wants to derive transcendental pleasure, He has to create a woman from His internal potency and that women is Srimati Radharani." (SB, Canto 3 Ch 31 text 38, Purport)

Caitanya Caritamrita - "Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa are "one and the same", but They have assumed two bodies. Thus They enjoy each other, tasting the mellows of love. The two transcendentalists Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa are a puzzle to materialists." (CC Adi 4.56)

Caitanya Caritamrita - "Among the gopīs, Śrīmatī Rādhikā (Radharani) is the foremost. She surpasses all in beauty, in good qualities, in good fortune and, above all, in love." (CC Ādi 4.214)

Also Krsna’s unlimited number of Visnu-tattva direct expansions like Balarama, His first expansion, and Maha-Visnu, Garbhodakashayi Visnu, Paramatma, etc are also God. Krsna is likened to the original candle that lights all the other candles (Visnu-tattva) of the same luminosity.

There is also Kṛṣṇa's  mysterious expansion known as Siva, who is neither Visnu-tattva or jiva-tattva (individual jiva-soul) who spends most of his time in the material world encouraging the most fallen individual jiva-souls to return back home back to Godhead. 

Lord Siva is considered Krsna's greatest devotee.

Next is Kṛṣṇa's separated individual jiva-souls (jiva-tattva) expansions, who can only experience loving reciprocal exchanges in a "two-way" voluntary inter-relationship based on mutual returns and cooperation.

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

Srila Prabhupāda – "Love means 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 - "Love is reciprocal, voluntary, good exchange of feeling. Then there is love. Not by force! Krsna does not want to become a lover like that, ‘You love me, otherwise I shall kill you!" (Washington D.C. July 8, 1976)

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)

To experience loving exchanges and emotions with a women, Krsna divided Himself into two, Srimati Radharani and Krsna in two different spiritual bodies. Krsna wanted to experience loving emotions and affection with a women, this is why He divided Himself into "two," just so He could experience those loving exchanges.

Srila Prabhupada - "The description of Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa from the diary of Śrīla Svarūpa Dāmodara Gosvāmī is a condensed explanation, but one needs great spiritual insight to understand the mystery of these two personalities. One is enjoying in two. Śrī Kṛṣṇa is the potent factor, and Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī is the internal potency. According to Vedānta philosophy, there is no difference between the potent and the potency; they are identical. We cannot differentiate between one and the other, any more than we can separate fire from heat. Everything in the Absolute is inconceivable in relative existence. Therefore in relative cognizance it is very difficult to assimilate this truth of the oneness between the potent and the potency. 

The philosophy of inconceivable oneness and difference propounded by Lord Caitanya is the only source of understanding for such intricacies of transcendence. In fact, Rādhārāṇī is the internal potency of Śrī Kṛṣṇa and She eternally intensifies the pleasure of Śrī Kṛṣṇa. Impersonalists cannot understand this without the help of a mahā-bhāgavata (great pure) devotee. The very name “Rādhā” suggests that Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī is eternally the topmost mistress of the comforts of Śrī Kṛṣṇa. As such, She is the medium transmitting the living entities’ service to Śrī Kṛṣṇa. Devotees in Vṛndāvana therefore seek the mercy of Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī in order to be recognized as loving servitors of Śrī Kṛṣṇa." (CC Adi 4.56, Purport)

Caitanya Caritamrita - "Among the gopīs, Śrīmatī Rādhikā is the foremost. She surpasses all in beauty, in good qualities, in good fortune and, above all, in love." (CC Ādi 4.214)

Srila Prabhupada - "The beauty of Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī’s eyes forcibly devours the beauty of newly grown blue lotus flowers, and the beauty of Her face surpasses that of an entire forest of fully blossomed lotuses. Her bodily luster seems to place even gold into a painful situation. Thus the wonderful, unprecedented beauty of Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī is awakening in Vṛndāvana." (CC, Antya 1.169, Purport)

Srila Prabhupada - "The beauty of Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī is described as follows: 'Her eyes defeat the attractive features of the eyes of the cakorī bird. When one sees the face of Rādhārāṇī, he immediately hates the beauty of the moon. Her bodily complexion defeats the beauty of gold. Thus, let us all look upon the transcendental beauty of Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī." (NOD, Ch 44)

Srila Prabhupada -"There is no comparison to Radharani's beauty and the luster of Her transcendental body. The so-called beauty of the moon has fallen on the ground in the presence of Radharani's beauty." (From Vrindavana by Srila Narottama das Thakura)

Srila Prabhupada - "Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī’s affection, Her exquisite beauty and good behavior, Her artistic dancing and chanting and Her poetic compositions are all so attractive that they attract the mind of Kṛṣṇa, who attracts the mind of everyone in the universe." (CC, Madhya 17.212)

Caitanya Caritamrita - "Rādhikā is the transformation of Kṛṣṇa’s love. She is His internal energy called hlādinī." (CC, Adi 4.59)

Srila Prabhupada - "Srimati Radharani's mind, senses and body are steeped in love for Kṛṣṇa. She is Kṛṣṇa’s own energy, and She helps Him in His pastimes. Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī is as fully spiritual as Kṛṣṇa. No one should consider Her to be material. She is definitely not like the conditioned souls, who have material bodies, gross and subtle, covered by material senses. She is all-spiritual, and both Her body and Her mind are of the same spiritual embodiment. Because Her body is spiritual, Her senses are also spiritual. Thus Her body, mind and senses fully shine in love of Kṛṣṇa. 

She is the personified hlādinī-śakti (the pleasure-giving energy of the Lord’s internal potency), and therefore She is the only source of enjoyment for Śrī Kṛṣṇa. Śrī Kṛṣṇa cannot enjoy anything that is internally different from Him. Therefore Rādhā and Śrī Kṛṣṇa are identical. The sandhinī portion of Śrī Kṛṣṇa’s internal potency has manifested the all-attractive form of Śrī Kṛṣṇa, and the same internal potency, in the hlādinī feature, has presented Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī, who is the attraction for the all-attractive. No one can match Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī in the transcendental pastimes of Śrī Kṛṣṇa." (CC, Adi 4.71 Purport)

Srila Prabhupada - "Śrīla Rūpa Gosvāmī has stated that devotional service attracts even Kṛṣṇa. Kṛṣṇa attracts everyone, but devotional service attracts Kṛṣṇa. The symbol of devotional service in the highest degree is Rādhārāṇī. Kṛṣṇa is called Madana-mohana, which means that He is so attractive that He can defeat the attraction of thousands of Cupids. But Rādhārāṇī is still more attractive, for She can even attract Kṛṣṇa. Therefore, devotees call Her Madana-mohana-mohinī—the attractor of the attractor of Cupid." (NOD, Ch 1)

Srila Prabhupada - "Rādhārāṇī is the internal potency of Krsna, we are the marginal potency (individual jiva-souls). Of course, originally, in that sense, everything is Kṛṣṇa's expansion. Sarvaṁ khalv idaṁ brahma. But even then there are different expansions. That is the difference between Māyāvāda philosophy and Vaiṣṇava philosophy. Caitanya Mahāprabhu teaches acintya bhedābheda. We are always simultaneously one and different. Always. We should remember that, we are eternal expansion of Kṛṣṇa, we are expansion of Rādhā also because Rādhā is also expansion of Kṛṣṇa. But still, different. This is our philosophy- 

"One and different simultaneously, Acintya bhedābheda."

Caitanya Mahāprabhu's philosophy is "inconceivable simultaneously one and different". This is explained in the Seventh Chapter of Bhagavad-gītā. The energies and the energetic is the same. Śakti-śaktimator abheda. Just like sun and the sunshine, they are the same. There is no difference. But the molecules of the sunshine particles, that is not equal to the sun. These truths we shall always remember. Acintyāḥ khalu ye bhāvāḥ. Therefore these are inconceivable. We are simultaneously one with Kṛṣṇa and Rādhā, and at the same time different." (Lecture BG, Ch 4.5 Montreal, June 10, 1968)

Madhudviṣa Swami - "Śrīla Prabhupāda, you spoke of inferior energy and superior energy. Those are two general categories. Are there othern categories of energies besides that, and specifically how could we understand Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī? Is She ...?"

Srila Prabhupāda - "She is spiritual energy non-different than Krsna, She is Kṛṣṇa."

Madhudviṣa Swami - "But is She an individual jīva-soul or?"

Srila Prabhupada - "No, no, no, She is Kṛṣṇa. If everything is Kṛṣṇa, and Rādhārāṇī is not Kṛṣṇa, then what is that? No, She is Kṛṣṇa, She is the Kṛṣṇa's pleasure potency."

Madhudviṣa Swami - "She is not an individual jīva-soul?"

Srila Prabhupada - "No, no, no, listen carefully,  She is Kṛṣṇa, non-different from Krsna. Kṛṣṇa divided Himself into two, His energy and Himself, that energy, original spiritual energy, is Rādhārāṇī, that is stated by Jīva Gosvāmī. Rādhā kṛṣṇa-praṇaya-vikṛtir hlādinī śaktir asmāt. When Kṛṣṇa wants pleasure, He cannot accept the inferior energy. The same superior energy, Kṛṣṇa, is divided into two. That is Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa. And again, when they unite, that is Caitanya Mahāprabhu. 

Divided, they are Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa, and united, they are Caitanya Mahāprabhu. Śrī kṛṣṇa caitanya rādhā-kṛṣṇa nahe anya. Anya means another. So, Śrī Kṛṣṇa Caitanya is combination of Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa. And when they are divided into two, that is Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa. Rādhā kṛṣṇa praṇaya vikṛtir hlādinī śaktir asmād ekātmānāv api bhuvi purā deha-bhedaṁ gatau tau, śrī-caitanyākhyaṁ prakaṭam adhunā tad-dvayaṁ caikyam āptam [Cc. Ādi 1.5]. 

Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu is Rādhā-Kṛṣṇa combination. But He is playing the part of Rādhārāṇī to understand Kṛṣṇa. This is Caitanya Mahāprabhu." (Lecture SB, June 6th 1974 Melb Australia).×/=/×.

Did the United States get three Atomic bombs off Germany they refused to use, but instead used on Japan by the United States?

No, this is an ignorant understanding of world war 2!

It is obvious Hitler was never a gentleman that Prabhupada claimed, based on his belief that Hitler refused to use the atomic bomb during World War 2, unlike the Americans. 

The fact is, Hitler was no gentleman, he murdered 26 million Russians, 6 million Jews and millions more in Europe and North Africa during World War 2.

Furthermore, the idea Hitler had 3 nuclear weapons but would not use them, but instead taken by the United States and two used on Japan is historically wrong and not accepted by bonafide historians of World War 2. 

Based on historical records, the assertion that the United States captured three unused atomic bombs from Germany and used them against Japan is not historically accurate, it is nonsense according to all historical records.

While this statement appears in conversations involving Srila Prabhupada (as recorded in Vaniquotes), historical consensus indicates the following -

German Nuclear Program - 

Germany did have a nuclear research program, but it did not produce a functional atomic bomb, let alone three US Development, Germany never even come close to developing nuclear weapon.  

The U.S. developed its atomic bombs independently through the Manhattan Project. The bombs dropped on Hiroshima ("Little Boy") and Nagasaki ("Fat Man") were U.S.-built, using Uranium-235 and Plutonium-239 respectively.

Timeline - 

Germany surrendered in May 1945, while the first U.S. atomic bomb test ("Trinity") took place on July 16, 1945, and the first use against Japan occurred on August 6, 1945.

Understanding Prabhupada's statement within the context of his teachings -

Srila Prabhupada often used examples to discuss the morality of war and the actions of world leaders, particularly highlighting the destruction caused by the U.S. in World War II.

"Hitler was a Gentleman" - 

In some discussions, Srila Prabhupada made controversial statements comparing Hitler and the U.S., suggesting Hitler didn't use atomic weapons while the U.S. did, which is mistaken by him because at no point did Germany even come close to developing an atomic bomb, this has been historically proved.

However, Srila Prabhupada also was rightly, not very supportive of the British and their American Allies because of their exploitive colonialism, India was suppressed under British rule until 1947 and Prabhupada oftened critized the British because of not allowing India to rule themselves. 

In this way, followers of Srila Prabhupada often interpret these statements in the context of a wider critique of modern, "demoniac" leaders, rather than a technical lecture on historical facts.

Therefore, while the spiritual and moral criticisms of war within these talks are central to his teachings, the specific technical claim regarding captured German atomic bombs is not supported by strong historical evidence.*/*.

Each "bubble" that surrounds the sleeping Maha-Visnu in the painting below, are different Brahmanda material universes collectively existing as a "multi-verse" that all originate from the Body of Maha-Visnu, who creates the entire material creation on behalf of Krsna the Supreme Personality of Godhead and cause of all causes.

Within each Brahmanda material universe is a secondary material universe managed by Maha-Visnu's expansion, Garbhodakashayi Viṣṇu, who is surrounded by His many servants the demigods lead by Lord Brahma.

Our Brahmanda universe that our secondary universe is in, is considered to be small compared to other Brahmanda universes in the material world. 

Yet still, our Brahmanda universe that houses the secondary universe we are in, is a massive 44 quadrillion 444 trillion 444 billion miles in diameter, or twice that size if measured from outer edge of the secondary universe within the Brahmanda universe.

As said above, deep inside the Brahmanda universe at its centre, is found another smaller universe that is just 4 billion miles in diameter according to the 5th Canto of Srimad Bhagavatam.

This unner material secondary universe and its 14 planetary systems, is called "the Bhu-Mandala Earth," not to be confused with the small world we live on also called Earth that exists within one of the 14 planetary systems. 

Our small 4 billion mile diameter Bhu-Mandala universe is in the center, housed within the massively huge Brahmanda outer universe. 

As said above, the maintainer of the inner Bhu-mandala universe's 14 planetary systems deep inside the Brahmanda universe, is an Maha-Visnu's expansion known as Garbhodakashayi Visnu. 

From Him a stem grows from His naval and at the top of the stem is a lotus flower where Lord Brahma resides.

Within the lotus stem exists all 14 planetary systems.

As said above, the Brahmanda universe may even be bigger than the above figures.

The inner Bhu-Mandala secondary universe with its 14 planetary systems, is 4 billion miles in diameter according to the 5th Canto.

However, this figure may have deeper meanings if you add the knowledge of different  dimensions existing within that 4 billion miles diameter as well.

This further means the figure of 4 billion miles in diameter is not to be taken literally and needs sensible decoding because it is a fact, our secondary material universe is much larger than 4 billion miles in diameter. 

There are seven material layers of the Brahmanda universe that surround the inner Bhu-mandala secondary  universe.

The first layer of the outer Brahmanda universe encasing the inner Bhu-Mandala secondary universe, is earth which is 10 times thicker than the 4 billion mile diameter Bhu-Mandala universe which equals-

1 - Bhu-Mandala universe is 4,000,000,000 (4 billion miles in size)

2 - Earth layer is 10×4 = 40,000,000,000  (40 billion miles in diameter)

3 - Water layer is 10×40  = 400,000,000,000 (400 billion miles in diameter) 

4 - Fire layer is 10×400 = 4000,000,000,000 (4000 billion which is 4 trillion in diameter)

5 - Air layer is 10×4 = 40,000,000,000,000 (40 trillion in diameter) 

6 - Sky layer is 10×40 = 400,000,000,000,000 (400 trillion in diameter) 

7 - Ego layer is 10×400 = 4000,000,000,000,000 (4000 trillion which is 4 quadrillion in diameter) 

8 - Mahat-tattva layer is 10×4000 = 40,000,000,000,000,000 (40 quadrillion in diameter) 

So the full size of our Brahmanda egg shaped material universe (Brahmanda) that houses our secondary universe known as Bhu-Mandala, is a massive 44 quadrillion 444 trillion 444 billion miles in diameter.

Srimad Bhagavatam - "The layers or elements covering the universes are each ten times thicker than the one before, and all the universes clustered together appear like atoms in a huge combination." (SB, Canto 3 Ch 11 text 41)

Srila Prabhupada - "The coverings of the universes are also constituted of the elements of earth, water, fire, air and ether, and each is ten times thicker than the one before. The first covering of the universe is earth, and it is ten times thicker than the universe itself. If the universe is four billion miles in size, then the size of the earthly covering of the universe is four billion times ten. 

The covering of water is ten times greater than the earthly covering, the covering of fire is ten times greater than the watery covering, the covering of air is ten times greater than that of the fire, the covering of ether is ten times greater still than that of air, and so on. The universe within the coverings of matter appears to be like an atom in comparison to the coverings, and the number of universes is unknown even to those who can estimate the coverings of the universes." (SB, Canto 3 Ch 11 text 41 Purport)#//#

Based on records and compilations such as Vaniquotes (which includes the teachings of A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada), there is a distinction made between the "gross" material moon and the "subtle" material heavenly realm on the moon known as Chandraloka.

Did Astronauts go to the Moon? 

Yes, it is acknowledged that NASA astronauts in gross material bodies and spacecraft went to the "gross Moon" (the physical, rocky celestial body) that is visible from Earth but not the subtle heavenly realm existing there that can only be achieved with the right kind of pious activities and suitable material bodily celestial vessel (not like the "gross material body" existing on Earth).

Apollo Missions: 

NASA successfully landed humans on the Moon we see in the sky six times between 1969 and 1972 as part of the Apollo program, with a total of 12 men walking on the surface however, they could not detect the heavenly subtle reality on the Moon.

Subtle vs Gross: 

According to the Prabhupada quotes, while the astronauts landed on the physical moon, they did not enter the "subtle material heavenly atmosphere of Chandraloka" or the higher heavenly dimensions on the Moon, which are described as being inhabited by demigods and not reachable in a "gross material body."

Vaniquotes View: 

The Vaniquotes perspective maintains that modern scientists cannot see or enter the subtle reality of the moon, which is refered to as a heavenly planet, with their "imperfect vision" and that their attempts only touch the "gross" material aspect. 

In summary, the astronauts did physically go to the Moon visible at night, but did not enter the subtle heavenly dimension described in Vedic literature.^.

The individual jiva-souls were not created from the marginal plane (tatastha), which is an eternal category or platform the individual jiva-souls identify with within Krsna's creation.

This is because "marginal" means they can live in either the spiritual world, or material world, this side, or that side. 

Because of this quality, the individual jiva-souls are eternally identified as the "marginal plane" (tatastha-sakti), meaning they can live in either the spiritual world, or the material world as said above. 

Srila Prabhupada says being marginal (tatastha) can also mean a fallen condition in the material world because the individual jiva-souls can choose to leave the spiritual world and enter that fallen condition (tatastha) in the material world. 

Srila Prabhupada - "So this temporary material world is the taṭastha (materially conditioned) characteristics, and the spiritual world is the permanent (personal) characteristics. So our effort is to get out of this taṭastha (materially conditioned) characteristics and enter the permanent (personal)  characteristics. That is called spiritual elevation." (Lecture CC, Madhya-lila 20.354-358, New York City, Dec 28, 1966)

Srila Prabhupada - "Because the individual jiva-soul is apt to fall down sometimes under the clutches of māyā to the material world, it is called taṭastha śakti." (Lecture BG, Ch 7 Text 4-5 Bombay, March 30, 1971)

Srila Prabhupada - "So the individual jiva-souls are the marginal energy. Marginal means we may remain under the external energy, or we may remain under the spiritual energy, as we like." (Lecture BG, Ch 2 text 13, London, Aug 19, 1973)

Srila Prabhupada - " We living entities (individual jiva-souls) are marginal energy. The whole material world is material energy. And there is spiritual energy. The spiritual world. And we are marginal. So, we are sitting either in the material energy, marginal means this way or that way. You can become spiritual or you become material. No third alternative. Either you become materialistic or become spiritualistic. So, so long we are in the material world, you are sitting on the material energy, therefore you are also sitting in Kṛṣṇa because energy is not separated from Kṛṣṇa." (Lecture BG, Ch 6 text 25-29, Los Angeles, Feb 18, 1969)

Srila Prabhupada - "The marginal energy (individual jiva-souls) means they are between the two: the spiritual energy and material energy. At the present moment, those who are in this material world are under the influence of material energy. But we can get out of this material energy by bhagavad-bhakti." (Lecture BG, Ch 13 text 5, Bombay, Sept 28, 1973)

Srila Prabhupada - "Marginal means actually we belong to the spiritual nature. Because we are spirit soul, but we have come in contact with this material nature, some way or other. So therefore we are seeing our position incompatible. We cannot adjust here. Therefore we are getting one type of body and enjoying or suffering another type of body, another type of body, another type of body. This is going on. Therefore we are called marginal. If we like, we can transfer ourself to the spiritual world and remain eternally, because we are of the spiritual nature." (Lecture SB, Canto 1 Ch 15 text 36, Los Angeles, Dec 14, 1973)

Being "generated" from Krsna the Supreme Personality of Godhead and cause of all causes, means that the individual jiva-souls belong to a beginningless and endless category or collective of living entities (individual jiva-souĺs) known as the marginal plane or tatastha-sakti who can choose to live in the spiritual or material world.

The word tatastha-sakti means marginal plane which is the category the individual jiva-souls are eternally part of but do not originate from there because they have no origin.

The eternal real home of the individual jiva-souls is the perpetual spiritual worlds known as the Vaikuntha planets and Goloka Vrindavana and not the temporary material world. 

As clearly explained above, this means the individual jiva-souls as a spiritual bodily form, have no origin or beginning point to their existence. 

Srila Prabhupada - "The external energy is this material world, bhūmir āpo 'nalo vāyuḥ khaṁ mano buddhir eva ca. This is material world. And internal energy is the spiritual world. And marginal energy-we, the living entities (individual jiva-souls). Marginal means we may remain in this material world or we may remain in the spiritual world." (Lecture SB, Canto 3 Ch 25 text 11, Bombay, Nov 11, 1974)

Srila Prabhupada - "Caitanya Mahāprabhu explained, taṭasthā-śakti which means marginal. Marginal means the living entity (individual jiva-souls) has to become servant. That is his position. Jīvera svarūpa haya nitya kṛṣṇa dāsa (Cc. Madhya 20.108-109). But when the servant wants to become master, he is under the clutches of māyā. And when he understands that "I am not master; I am servant," he is under Kṛṣṇa. That is taṭasthā (marginal). That taṭa... Taṭa means the beach. Sometimes the beach is covered with water, and sometimes it is land. That is called taṭasthā. So that land, sometimes water." (Lecture CC Madhya-lila 20.108-109, New York, July 15, 1976)

Srila Prabhupada - "Because he is living entity, he is marginal. There is chance of... Marginal means... I have explained several times. Just like the land. Between the ocean and the land, there is a portion of land which is sometime merged within water, sometimes it is land. So a living entity's position is like that, marginal energy. He may be under the influence of yogamāyā or he may be under the influence of mahāmāyā. When he is under the influence of mahāmāyā, that is his conditional life. And when he is under the influence of yogamāyā, he's free." (Lecture, Seattle, Oct 7, 1968)

Srila Prabhupada - "So we are called taṭastha which is another word for marginal. Marginal means the individual jiva-souls can remain either way, they can be in the spiritual world, or the material world. Either on God's side or māyā's side. That is my choice. So when we don't want to serve God, then we are sent to the māyā, to serve māyā. Māyā means his position as servant remains the same, but he thinks "I am master." That is māyā. He is Just like a child trying to do something father does not like. But when he cries, he's given that. "All right. Do this." But "All right, do this" or "Do that," he is under the father. He is under the control of the father. But when he is given such chance, "Oh, I am independent now. I am independent." So this is called māyā. He's never independent, but he thinks, "I am independent." (Philosophy Discussion on The Evolutionists Thomas Huxley, Henri Bergson, and Samuel Alexander)

Srila Prabhupada - "Marginal means sometimes internal, sometimes external. When we (individual jiva-soul) are under the internal energy, that is our normal life, and when we are under the external energy, that is our abnormal life. Therefore, we are called marginal energy; we can be either this way or that way. But being qualitatively one with the purusa, our tendency is to remain in the internal energy. Being in the external energy is our artificial attempt." (Letter to Lilavati, Allston, Mass 25 April, 1969)

The individual jiva-souls were never created from the impersonal brahmajyoti, tatastha-sakti or Maha-Visnu because because they have no creation, they are beginningless and endless just like Krsna. 

As Bhagavad Gita As It Is Chapter 2 teaches, the individual jiva-souls were never created, nor will they ever cease to exist.

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 - "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 - "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 from the “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 - "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)

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)

There is no origin to Krsna's marginal energy, an unlimited number of individual jiva-souls, who have all existed for as long as Krsna has existed, which is eternity. 

The individual jiva-souls are eternal living persons as a spiritual bodily form, who can never be destroyed, cut into pieces, terminated or extinguished, the individual jiva-souls are indestructible. 

The spiritual platform known as the Vaikuntha planets and Goloka Vrindavana are the original home of the individual jiva-souls. 

As said above, in there original spiritual home, the individual jiva-souls were never created there because they have always existed there as individual persons as a spiritual bodily form. 

The individual jiva-souls are eternal living units of anti-matter who, through their free will, can voluntarily choose to live in both the spiritual and material worlds which is what being marginal means.

As said above, the eternal individual jiva-souls being generated from the marginal plane, does not mean they were created there, or originated from there, or have some beginning point in the spiritual sky.

The word "marginal" means the individual jiva-souls can remain in the spiritual world's of the Vaikuntha planets and Goloka-Vrindavana (anti-matter), or they can enter the decaying material world (matter) as the individual eternal spiritual (anti-matter) personality they are, but immediately entering the material world their spiritual body becomes covered by "matter" in the form of a temporary material bodily vessel.

The individual jiva-souls were never created and have no origin as Bhagavad Gita As It Is Chapter two explains.

Generated from the marginal plane also known as tatastha-sakti, means the individual jiva-souls belong to a category of eternal individual personalities who are beginningless and endless called the marginal living entities (eternal individual jiva-souls) whose perpetual and original home is Goloka Vrindavana or the Vaikuntha planets in the spiritual world.  

The individual jiva-souls were never created, meaning they were not literally "generated" (created) from any origin, because they have no origin, they are beginningless and endless like Krsna and will always exist as individual spiritual bodily "persons" eternally.

As said above, "generated" actually means the individual jiva-souls eternally belong to a platform or category of eternal living entities called the "marginal living entities, tatastha-sakti or marginal potency."

They are called this because the individual jiva-souls can live in the spiritual world, or live in the material world, which is what being "marginal" means. 

The individual jiva-souls are eternal persons as a spiritual bodily form whose perpetual natural home is the Vaikuntha planets and Goloka Vrindavana that take up 75% (anti-matter) of the Spiritual Sky, but some individual jiva-souls in the spiritual world (less then 10%) leave and become covered by a temporary material bodily vessel in the material world that takes up 25% (matter) of the Spiritual Sky.

Falling to the material world of repeated birth and death means being possibly covered by the 8 million 400 species of material bodily forms in the material world.  

The individual jiva-souls or marginal living entities (tatastha) are eternal spiritual personalities as a spiritual bodily form for infinity, meaning they were never created or cease to exist.

As said above, generated means the eternal individual jiva-souls are in a category of living entities known as the marginal plane (tatastha). 

Being "marginal" means they can live in either the spiritual world, or the material world. 

Furthermore, the individual jiva-souls did not originate from the impersonal brahmajyoti, tatastha-sakti, the Body of Maha-Visnu or even Kṛṣṇa because they have always existed being beginningless and endless. 

The individual jiva-souls were never created or came into being, they were never generated (created) from a beginning point because the individual jiva-souls are eternal just like Krsna is as Bhagavad Gita As It Is chapter two explains.

So, clearly this means the individual jiva-souls never originated from the marginal plane (tatastha-sakti) as some leaders in the Gaudiya Math claim because again, there is no origin for the individual jiva-souls who like Krsna and Viṣṇu, eternally exist. 

In other words, just like Krsna has always existed, so has His individual units of spiritual anti-matter known as the individual jiva-souls.

So, this also means the individual jiva-souls never originated or were generated (created) from the impersonal brahmajyoti, the Body of Maha-Visnu, or the marginal plane (tatastha-sakti). The real eternal natural home for the individual jiva-souls is the Vaikuntha planets and Goloka Vrindavana in the spiritual world.  

So what is the correct understanding of tatastha-sakti?

"Taṭastha-sakti" is another name for the "marginal plane" which is the category the eternal individual jiva-souls identify with because "marginal" means they can sometimes be in the spiritual world, or sometimes be in the naterial world - "on this side or that side." 

Tatastha-sakti (the marginal plane) is NOT from where the individual jiva-souls originated from because as Bhagavad Gita As It Is Chapter two explains, there is no origin for the individual jiva-souls, they have always existed. 

The eternal individual jiva-souls, under the marginal or tatastha category or heading, means they can be either under the influence of the spiritual energy (anti-matter), or the material energy (matter) but naturally as spiritual living entities, always belong to the spiritual energy (anti-matter). 

This means the individual jiva-souls (anti-matter), as individual spiritual persons, are NOT literally inbetween the spiritual energy and the material energy as some wrongly claim.

This is because the individual jiva-souls always identify as living energy, or individual units of anti-matter as a spiritual bodily form. 

Even when fallen and covered in the material world with a temporary material bodily vessel (matter), the individual jiva-souls always remain a spiritual personality (anti-matter), they are never literally inbetween matter and spirit because they are eternally a spiritual bodily form only covered by matter.

Whether in the spiritual world or covered in the material world, the individual jiva-souls are eternally a spiritual person (anti-matter).

Srila Prabhupada says being marginal (tatastha) can also mean a fallen condition in the material world because the individual jiva-souls can choose to leave the spiritual world and enter that fallen condition (tatastha) in the material world. 

Srila Prabhupada - "So this temporary material world is the taṭastha (materially conditioned) characteristics, and the spiritual world is the permanent (personal) characteristics. So our effort is to get out of this taṭastha (materially conditioned) characteristics and enter the permanent (personal)  characteristics. That is called spiritual elevation." (Lecture CC, Madhya-lila 20.354-358, New York City, Dec 28, 1966)

Srila Prabhupada - "Because the individual jiva-soul is apt to fall down sometimes under the clutches of māyā to the material world, it is called taṭastha śakti." (Lecture BG, Ch 7 Text 4-5 Bombay, March 30, 1971)

Maya or the temporary material energy does not exist in the spiritual world however, "free will" eternally exists there and allows the individual jiva-souls to make their own decisions of voluntary offerings and contributions, and even accept or reject Krsna if they choose. 

Srimad Bhagavatam explains the fall down of the marginal living entity (individual jiva-souls) from the Vaikuntha planets and Goloka Vrindavana to the material world, in the 4th Canto of Srimad Bhagavatam, Chapter 28 text 53, where the Supreme Lord is disguised as a brahmana.

The brāhmaṇa said - "My dear friend, even though you cannot immediately recognize Me, can't you remember that in the past you had a very intimate friend? Unfortunately, you gave up My company and accepted a position as enjoyer of this material world." (SB, Canto 4 Ch 28 text 53)

The inactive brahman effulgence (impersonal brahmajyoti or void) worshipped by impersonalists, mundane religionists who have no idead about the Bodily Form of God, Buddhists and mayavadis, are "fallen conditions" the individual jiva-souls fall down too, but can never remain in that "fallen condition" of inactivity eternally. 

Eventually, they are forced to leave that dormant condition because the nature of the individual jiva-souls are to be always "active" in the service of Krsna and not remain inactive. 

So, eventually the fallen individual jiva-souls leave the inactive impersonal brahmajyoti or void and again take birth in the material world and agaain become active.

Revatīnandana dasa - "Srila Prabhupāda you very clearly explained to me once in a letter that if the jiva-soul then goes into the brahmajyoti, he is considered still fallen. Still fallen. Does that means the whole brahmajyoti is composed of fallen souls? You see my question? If I go there, I'm a jīva-soul, and I go to the brahmajyoti I'm still fallen."

Srila Prabhupāda - "Yes."

Revatīnandana dasa - "That means all individual jīva-souls there in the impersonal Brahman (Brahmajyoti) are also fallen souls?"

Srila Prabhupāda - "Yes, existence in the impersonal brahman is also within the category of non-Krsna consciousness. Those who are in the brahman effulgence are also in the 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, LA 13 June, 1970 and 1971 London)

We are all equally old individual jiva-souls because we have always eternally existed without any beginning point, nor will we ever cease to be as explained above.

The individual jiva-souls are eternal spiritual living PERSONS, as a spiritual bodily form, who can never be destroyed, cut into pieces, terminated or extinguished because the individual jiva-souls are indestructible.

This means there was no beginning to the individual marginal living entities (jiva-souls) existence, nor will there be an end or no new individual jiva-souls ever be created because they have always existed as explained above.

The eternal individual jiva-souls can choose, due to free will, stay in the temporary material world's repeated cycle of birth and death and almost endless cycles of material annihilation and creations, for an almost infinity, but ultimately it is all temporary.

So the conclusion is, there is no origin to Krsna's individual marginal living energy (an unlimited number of eternal individual jiva-souls), who have existed for as long as Krsna has existed, which is eternity.

We must understand from Srila Prabhupada's teachings the real meaning of surrender, voluntary devotional service, loving exchanges, free will and the need to always remember Krsna and never forget Him.

In the spiritual world's of Goloka-Vrindavana and the Vaikuntha planets, surrender to Krsna, through loving voluntary devotional service, is never a "one-way or one-sided" impersonal relationship that denies individual unique contributions and offerings from the devotees in a two-way exchange of loving reciprocation. 

Real love or service to Radha and Krsna in the spiritual world is always voluntary, based on wonderful loving reciprocal exchanges between Kṛṣṇa and His devotees.

Voluntary service in the Kingdom of God (Krsna) is only genuinely expressed correctly in a "two-way" exchange of loving emotions based on devotional creative actions and thoughts.

Krsna always sanction's "free will" in the spiritual world because He allows the individual jiva-souls to have their own unique independent voluntary skills of self expression, and choice of personal offerings they present to Krsna.

Without free will, the individual jiva-souls can never participate in voluntarily expressing their unique love for Kṛṣṇa, that enrich, expand and add unlimited varigatedness to the relationship.

The individual jiva-soul's (marginal living entities) relationship with Krsna, is naturally a "two-way" personal partnership sharing loving exchanges based on reciprocation, voluntary cooperation, and pleasing Krsna the Supreme Personality of Godhead and cause of all causes.  

Krsna gives the individual jiva-souls "free will" for the purpose to allow "love to exist" which means of allowing a "two-way" to participation by having loving exchanges. 

Such loving exchanges can never exist with only "one" making all the decisions, not even if it is Krsna, there must be always be two-way exchange with God (Krsna) otherwise "love" can never exist!

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)

Love can only exist in a "two-way" exchange of intimate expressions. Only a "two-sided" cooperation expands one's unique individual voluntary contributions presented to Krsna as personal offerings.

On the Vaikuntha planets and Goloka Vrindavana, personal expressions of loving exchanges between Kṛṣṇa and His devotees can only be expressed and acted upon by having free will. 

Such freedom of expression is always encouraged by Krsna in His relationship with His devotees (the individual jiva-souls that add flavour, variety and mystery to their association.

This means the Kingdom of God (Krsna's abode) is not a "one-sided" dominating impersonal stagnant domain devoid of personal unique offerings that will only deny personal contributions (offerings) to God (Krsna), meant to expand, enrich and forever flavour the relationship with Kṛṣṇa with unlimited variety.

As said above, love or service is not a "one-sided" affiliate of total supremacy or pre-eminence, it is rather an act of voluntary participation and personal unique contributions, only then can real love exist.

So we must understand that genuine loving relations and service are based on voluntary reciprocal exchanges and contributions between two and not just one!

Loveless Impersonalism (denial of free will) is excluding the voluntary act of self expression and denying a two-way cooperative relationship with God (Krsna). 

The individual jiva-souĺs have their choices too ((free will), even if that choice means rejecting Krsna. 

Free will only has meaning when the individual jiva-souls have a choice to express themselves in a "two-sided" voluntary way with, or without Krsna. This means the individual jiva-souls can reject Krsna if they choose, which in a sense proves that "free will" does truly exist.

Only then can genuine free will exist.

In other words, loving reciprocation is only possible in a "two-way" exchange between two individuals with each contributing to the relationship's expansion of nectarine mellows of service.

The word "reciprocation" only has meaning when there are two involved in a cooperative relationship, reciprocation has no meaning with just one.

Impersonalism is understood in this way, the puppeter has total control over his puppets by manipulating the strings that control their every actions, they only act accordingly to what the puppeter does with his strings, the puppets have no thoughts of their own or or have any sense of an individual existence.

Similarly, the individual jiva-souls are not Krsna's mindless emotionless puppets or drones like that. 

Those who think surrendering to Krsna in the impersonal way by become His mindless puppet by only doing what He demands, are dangerous mayavadis who are foolishly attempting to commit spiritual suicide.

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)

The Kingdom of Kṛṣṇa is nothing like that, Kṛṣṇa only wants those devotees who think for themselves, and who voluntary choose to serve in their way to please Krsna.

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, 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)

Having "free will" (freedom of having unique thoughts and actions) is the eternal constitutional make up of every "marginal living entity (individual jiva-soul)," and is the foundation that begins all the jiva-soul's interactions with Krsna.

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)

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 don't offer you anything in return, that is simply exploitation." (Lecture BG, Ch 9 text 2-5, New York City, Nov 23, 1966)

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

Srila Prabhupāda – "Love can only exist in 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 Prabhupāda - "There is also spiritual bodily form, just like this material body is compared with the dress. Now, just like in your present material form you have got hand; therefore your coat has got hand. You have got legs; therefore your pant has got legs. Therefore, it is to be assumed that the spirit soul always has got form and is expressed as hands, legs, heads, everything. The individual spirit soul is not formless; it has got form. But with our material eyes at the present, gross eyes, we cannot find it; therefore we say and foolishly believe it has no form." (Lecture BG, Ch 2 text 14, Mexico, Feb 14, 1975)

Devotee – "Is the original body of the spirit soul a human form?"

Srila Prabhupada – "Yes, human form, God is also human form. "Man is made after the shape of God." I think there is in the Bible. Is it not? So God is also like human form. Here you see Krsna, two hands, two legs."

Hari-sauri dasa – "How do we understand, then, that there are peacocks and flowers and trees in the spiritual world? Are these not eternal forms?"

Srila Prabhupada – [describing material form first]: "Yes, they are more covered, just like if you cover your body with blanket, the hands and legs are invisible. But you are not the blanket. So the trees and plants, they are more covered. They are not in full manifestation. The human form is the full manifestation of the soul."

Hari-sauri dasa - "They are covered in the spiritual world?"

Srila Prabhupada - "Not in the spiritual world, there that is always voluntary, some devotees want to serve Krsna as flower; so they become flower there. If I want that, to be a flower I shall lie down at the lotus feet of Krsna, then he become flower, voluntarily, and he can change his, from flower to human body. That is spiritual life. There is no restriction. If some devotee wants to serve Krsna as cow, he serves Krsna as cow, as calf, as flower, as plant, as water, as ground, field, as flagpole, as chariot, as chair or as father, as mother, as friend, as beloved, anything. It is inconceivable, yet a fact." (SB, Canto 6 Ch 1 text 1-4, Melb, Australia May 20, 1975)

The full potential and unique expression of the individual jiva-soul is originally and eternally a spiritual bodily form like Krsna's Bodily Form always active in Krsna's pastimes where no two individual jiva-souls (devotees) are the same, each have their own unique characteristics and spiritual bodily form. 

The individual jiva-soul in its full potential is not some impersonal formless spark dormant or inactive in Krsna's Bodily effulgence (the impersonal inactive aspect of the brahmajyoti). The eternal original natural of the individual jiva-souls is to be always active in Krsna's service and pastimes as explained above.

Srila Prabhupada – “The human form is the full manifestation of the individual jiva-soul.” (Melb, Australia May 20, 1975)

Srila Prabhupada - "The spirit soul is not formless; it has got form, the spirit soul always has form and is expressed as hands, legs, heads, everything. But with our material eyes at the present, our gross eyes, we cannot see these facts; therefore we foolishly believe the jiva-souls have no form." (Lecture BG, Ch 2 text 14, Mexico, Feb 14, 1975)

Devotee - "What is the form of the spiritual body. If the spirit soul is non-material, what is the form?"

Srila Prabhupāda - "There is spiritual bodily form, just like this material body is compared with the dress. Now, just like in your present material form you have got hand; therefore your coat has got hand. You have got legs; therefore your pant has got legs. Therefore it is to be assumed that the spirit soul always has got form, and is expressed as hands, legs, heads, everything. The spirit soul is not formless; it has got form. But with our material eyes at the present, gross eyes, we cannot find it; therefore we say and foolishly believe it has no form." (Lecture BG, Ch 2 text 14, Mexico, Feb 14, 1975)

Krsna allows the eternal individual jiva-souls (devotees) in the spiritual world to continually re-invent themselves by voluntarily serving in a capacity they choose by making their own unique contributions and offerings.

This allows diversity and an unlimited range of variegatedness in the devotee's personal service to Krsna that is forever expanding their progressive independent contributions in the Kingdom of God (Vaikuntha planets and Goloka-Vrindavana) infinitely expanding their voluntary participation, personal contributions and inspiration in an unlimited variety of unique ways serving and associating with Krsna in His never ending expanding blissful pastimes (lilas)

Krsna allows the individual jiva-souls (His devotees) to have their "free will" because He wants to see unique voluntary independent self expressions of voluntary love towards Him from His devotee's personal choices with their own unique thoughtful contributions on their own.

Krsna wants His devotees to voluntarily be personally creative in their independent offerings, friendship and service to Him.

In other words, Kṛṣṇa wants a "two-sided" open reciprocal cooperative contributing relationship of loving exchanges with His intimate devotees, where they can voluntarily express themselves as they choose, in their own unique way, as separate independent individuals from Krsna, yet simultaneously fully dependent on Him due to being His parts and parcels.

This means the devotees of Krsna should never surrender to a mindless puppetry “one-sided" dominating impersonal dictatorship, where you sre ordered what to think and how to act without being encouraged to think for yourselve by providing your own unique personal voluntary contributions. 

Such a nonsense “one-sided” relationship is a loveless dictatorship and impersonalism that denies individual self expression!

Srila Prabhupada – “Love is reciprocal, voluntary, good exchange of feeling, then there is love, not achieved by force, no, Krsna does not want to become a lover like that, ‘You love me, otherwise I shall kill you!” (Washington DC July 8, 1976)

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 don't offer you anything in return, that is simply exploitation." (Lecture BG, Ch 9 text 2-5, New York City, Nov 23, 1966)

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

Srila Prabhupāda – "Love can only exist in 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)

As said above, real love (service) is voluntary and can never exist on a “one-way" path because love can only exists when "two" are involved in voluntary reciprocal contributing loving exchanges.

Krsna allows free will (voluntary self-expression) so His devotees can experience their own unique individuality and make their own unique offerings (contributions) to Him in a way that forever expands loving exchanges and reciprocation in a "two-way" transition between Kṛṣṇa and the devotee which is never a "one-sided" non-contributing loveless dictatorship.

In this way "free will" only eternally exists because Krsna knows love can only be expressed when there are voluntary contributions from the individual jiva-souls that  make one's relationship with Krsna a two-way exchange. 

Love can never exist with just one there must be two reciprocating with each other.

Krsna always wants a "two-way" contributing open relationship with His devotees, therefore He always encourages self expression and unique personal contributions from His devotees that make the relationship a "two-sided" exchange of loving emotions.

The relationship with Krsna must be this way because love can never be experienced with just one, as said above, there must two in an open "two-sided" reciprocal relationship of mutual returns and voluntary cooperation.

This is what it means to feel like a significant person who can voluntary choose what they want to contribute and offer to Krsna out of genuine selfless love.

This allows the individual jiva-souls to take humble pride in their service, actions and thoughts, allowing them to feel significant, like a meaningful individual person who can always do something unique and wonderful with their eternal best friend Krsna.<//>.
