"All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others". (George Orwell's Book "Animal Farm" based on "Anti-Utopian Satire")

Krishna is so wonderful! So NEVER let any domineering forceful devotee convience you that you MUST serve them and get their permission to follow Krishna.

Reject such nonsense bogus dictatorial devotees!

Sadly such bogus devotees, sannyasis and modern day gurus do exist who demand you do as they say and want or leave!!

That's NOT love and respecting the voluntary contributing service of a fellow devotee. 

No, loving exchanges are suppose to be based on personal character building reciprocation between two.

Loving relationships are suppose to be a "two way" street, of loving exchanges and feelings, and NOT a "one way" clever juggle of words and actions meant to force you to comply and just do what you are told to do.

Such a subtle dictatorship that demands the obedience of others to just follow and just be simple "yes" men and women, as one sannyasi GBC has managed his zone over the years, is IMPERSONALISM, and will NEVER properly spread Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu's Sankirtan Movement.

George Orwell wrote a book "Animal Farm" in 1945 based on "Anti-Utopian Satire" and later made into a animated movie. 

"All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others".

This is a quotation from George Orwell’s allegorical novel Animal Farm. 

In it the animals conspire to take control of their farm from humans, establishing ‘Animalist’ commandments to prevent the reproduction of the oppressive behaviour of humans. 

Unfortunately as time goes on that is exactly what happens and the pig Napoleon ends up changing the final rule of ‘All animals are equal’ so that it reads that ‘All animals are equal but some animals are more equal than others’. 

This is a parody of Stalinist Russia which Orwell was criticising.

Of course we can see how this could apply to other situations in which people have set out to create their vision of a Utopian society, only for it to become another group’s dystopia. 

The way a society is structured may change but human nature does not necessarily follow suit. 

Human life is often ‘nasty, brutish and short’ and therefore we should perhaps not be surprised if time and time again we replicate previous inequalities and tyrannies with only a change of ‘players’. Such is the case in Animal Farm. So what is to be done?

Christianity has always recognised the tendency of humans to ‘fall short’ of the mark, something which it calls ‘sin’. 

At the same time it recognises that all are made in the image of God. That expresses the worth and essential lovableness of all human beings. 

All jiva soul in their full position and potential in Vaikuntha and Goloka Vrindavan are equal and therefore should be dignified and always treated in a two way relationship with Krishna. 

The "black pig Napoleon" that some leaders today in ISKCON are like, tried to set up a Utopian society where eveyone was suppose to work together and make a better society, but it all ended up becoming a suppressive destructive violent dictatorship.

History is full of such domineering useless leaders like Napoleon who may have had good intentions in the beginning, but in the end only brought authoritarianism, and serving out of fear of being kicked out. 

Such "so called leaders" only destroy a devotees service atitude of voluntary contributing their best out of love, to enslaving them in forced artificial "surrender" based on arrogent fear tactics.

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." (July 8, 1976)

Srila Prabhupāda – ''Unless there are two persons, where is the question of love? 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". (August 9, 1976, Tehran)

As Prabhupada explains, Krishna NEVER forces you to surrender to Him, never forces you to love Him, that must be voluntary otherwise love can never exist.

Srila Prabhupada – "Krishna NEVER forces you to love Him, that MUST be voluntary. (Melbourne June 25, 1974)

Krishna rarely interferes with the "free will" of the jiva souls.

This is because "Free will" only exists because Krishna or God sanctions it for the purpose of allowering loving contributing exchanges in a two way relationship.

Love can never exist in a domineering one way dictatorship.

The "marginal living entity" (jiva soul) to voluntarily participate in loving exchanges with Krishna (God) and experience reciprocal lòve and sharing loving exchanges in a mutual respectful way. 

Without "free will", the jiva soul is no better than dead stone Prabhupada warns us.

However, Krishna MUST first give His sanction to the jiva-tattva souls (marginal living entities) so they have their freedom (free will) because without it Krishna knows the jiva souls could NEVER express themselves in a genuine way and make the relationship with Krishna a two way exchange of loving affection and reciprocation.

The fact is, the jiva tattva souls have ALWAYS had their freedom (free will) in Vaikuntha and Goloka Vrindavan for the simple reason that without free will and the ability to choose for themselves, in a voluntary way contributing way, a relationship of loving exchanges and reciprocation with Krishna, as independent individual person, is NOT possible. 

This is why Krishna ALWAYS allows "free will"

Furthermore, there was never a time where Krishna never granted freedom (free will) to the individual jiva soul because having free will enables the jiva souls to express their love for Krishna in their own unique way.

Therefore, having free will is eternally part and parcel of the of the constitutional make up of every marginal living entity (jiva-tattva soul).

Ultimately it is by Krishna's will and favour the living entities have their "free will", He does allows it, but He can also take it away if He wants too. 

This is because Krishna is the Supreme Personality of Godhead and cause of all causes, the Supreme controller of ALL things meaning nothing can take place without His sanction and approval first.

But Krishna DOES allow "free will" for the purpose of allowing the jiva souls to have the opportunity to contribute their own unique offerings that enable them to express their own "personal" loving exchanges with Krishna as an independent thoughtful contributing individual person.

The fact is, love is NEVER a one sided, one way affair, love is ALWAYS based on a character building loving relationship of exchanges of service, expressed in a two way mood of reciprocation.

Therefore the jiva souls WITHOUT free will, are just mindless emotionless drones in Vaikuntha and Goloka Vrindavan, where their every thought and action is fully controlled by Narayana (Lord Vishnu) on the Vaikuntha Planets, and Krishna in Goloka Vrindavan, making them no more than dead stone Prabhupada has said.

So having "free will" is always part and parcel of the marginal living entities eternal spiritual constitution.

If Krishna had this absolute control over all marginal living entities in the Spiritual World, then the "Kingdom of God" would be an "impersonalists mindless loveless paradise"

Therefore ultimately within the most intense loving emotional exchanges between the Lord and the jiva souls, there is ALWAYS free will, there are always individual choices of expression because without free will, there can NEVER be any loving voluntary exchanges of good feelings.

If the jiva souls do not have the freedom to think for themselves independently, then how can love exist? 

No, it is not possible without "free will" because love is a personal  unique expression of independent feelings shared voluntary with one's beloved.

Sharing one's unique personality and individuality with the object of one's love, Krishna. Therefore without having "choices" in the jiva soul's relationship with Krishna, there can be no question of love.

This is because if it is just a one sided affair with no imput from the jiva soul too, then how can their be genuine love?

This idea of Krishna completely taking over the jiva soul's free will, in the name of surrender and denying any independent thoughful contributions from the jiva souls, is nonsense impersonal that many foolish bogus gurus teach their naive disciples today.

Love is only possible when it is allowed to be governed by self expression in a reciprocal relationship between "two individuals", the jiva soul and Krishna.

This loving reciprocation is always expressed in its full potential in either Vaikuntha or Goloka Vrindavan but covered in the material creation where free will is so covered over, it almost does not exist there.

And certainly not in the lower species of life in the material creation where instinct is in control and NOT free will.

Also it is foolish and total nonsense to think Krishna overides and extinguishes the jiva soul's "free will and individuality" when they enter Vaikuntha or Goloka Vrindavan.

One should understand that being part and parcel of Krishna means the jiva souls can etenally make independent choices for themselves in Vaikuntha or Goloka Vrindavan while serving of Krishna, that some immature devotees still have not understood properly.

This is because real love (prema) or devotional service, is ONLY possible when the relationship is between two.

So let's be clear, loving relationships in the Spiritual World are ALWAYS based on the reciprocation between two because love can only exist when there is a caring respectful nurturing relationship between two, between God and His disciples the jiva souls-

Srila Prabhupāda – ''Unless there are two persons, where is the question of love? 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". (August 9, 1976, Tehran)

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

Srila Prabhupada - “Unless there is a possibility of misusing our free will, there is no question of freedom.” (Dialectical Spiritualism, Critique of Descartes)

Ultimately each individual soul is a unique person who can choose for themselves to voluntarily serve Krishna the Supreme Personality of Godhead and cause of all causes, or ignore Him.

As Prabhupada explains, Krishna NEVER forces you to surrender to Him, never forces you to love Him, that must be voluntary otherwise love can never exist..**... End
