What is the real meaning of free will and where does freedom of expression exist in its full potential?

What is the real meaning of free will and where does it exist in its full potential?

The fact is Krishna (God) does NOT interfere with the jiva-soul's free will and their ability to make their own choices in the Spiritual world's of Vaikuntha Planets and Goloka-Vrindavana (The Kingdoms of God).

This is where free will is expressed in its full potential by all marginal living entities (jiva-tattva souls)

Of course in the temporary decaying material worlds there is almost no free will at all because one is forced to act according to the temporary material bodily vessel they are trapped in.

Free will in its full potential, ONLY exists in the Spiritual World's of Vaikuntha and Goloka-Vrindavan and NOT in the material worlds.

Furthermore in Vaikuntha and Goloka-Vrindavan, Krishna NEVER forces the jiva-souls to love Him, serve Him or surrender to Him, that MUST be voluntarily if real love is to truly exist.

Srila Prabhupada - "In Bengali it is said, ‘If you catch one girl or boy, ‘You love me, you love me, you love me.’ ” Is it love? “You love me, otherwise I will kill you!’ Is that love? So Krishna does not want to become a lover like that".(Washington DC July 8, 1976)

Srila Prabhupada - "Love is reciprocal, voluntary, good exchange of feeling. Then there is love. Not by force, no, Krishna does not want to become a lover like that, ‘You love me, otherwise I shall kill you!" (Washington DC July 8, 1976)

Srila Prabhupada - ”Unless there are two persons, where is the question of love?” (Teheran, Iran, August 9th, 1976)

Real love or Bhakti is a two way street. 

This means one must first understand they are an eternal individual person with free will, that includes an independent unique sense of self.

Understanding free will and one's eternal constitutional individual right to make their own choices and contributions in the Spiritual World, is realized through the independent act of giving, receiving and exchanging loving selfless devotional acts of kindness between individuals.

In Goloka Vrindavana there MUST always be this type of reciprocation of loving exchanges, where the jiva tattva naturally expresses their own unique personality and sense of self.

This is because each jiva soul has their own unique individuality that eternally allows them to make their own personal offerings to the Lord when serving Krishna in the Spiritual World.

Such free will is the basic make up of every marginal living entity's (jiva soul) unique independent character and personality in both Goloka-Vrindavan and Vaikuntha.

Otherwise one is just a dead stone.

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. But don't misuse your free will. But don't try to become stone either. That is not life". (August 5, 1976, New Mayapur France)

Srila Prabhupada - “Because you are Son of God you have got independence, full independence, you have acquired the quality of your father. You have got little independence. "So God does not interfere with your little independence”. (Melbourne, Australia June 25, 1974)
