There are five relationships the jiva-souls (marginal living entities) have with Krsna.

A devotee has a relationship with Krsna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead and cause of ALL causes, in five different ways-

1. One may be a devotee in a passive state;

2. One may be a devotee in an active state;

3. One may be a devotee as a friend;

4. One may be a devotee as a parent;

5. One may be a devotee as a conjugal lover.

A "PASSIVE" relationship (number one in above list) with Krsna in Vaikuntha and Goloka-Vrindavana is an almost inactive position the jiva-souls can voluntarily choose according to their "free will", such as -

A cloud in the sky,

The sky, 

A blade of grass, 

A tree,

A rock or stone,

A fence,

A chair or bench,

A roadway, 

A chariot, 

A cow,

A bird, etc.

EVERYTHING is alive in Vaikuntha and Goloka-Vrindavana, unlike the mundane dead material creation.

This means EVERYTHING, from the shoes on your feet, to the clothes you wear, are all individual "shape-shifting" jiva-souls who have manifested as that form because they have chosen to play that particular role in Vaikuntha or Goloka Vrindavana to please Krsna.

This is called a "passive" relationship with Krsna.

And many jiva-souls voluntarily choose to have that passive (inert, inactive or idle) relationship with Krsna.

This means they do not react visibly to something that might be expected of them, like outwardly manifesting emotions or feelings.

Like a blade of grass, or a tree is only seen moving in the wind and outwardly showing no affection or passion.

Even though "inwardly," the jiva-soul, as that blade of grass or tree, is ecstatically blissfully fully aware of Krsna’s personal presence.

And Krsna is fully aware of those jiva-souls who have voluntarily chosen to appear as a blade of grass, a tree, a flag pole, a bench etc.

Many jiva-souls have chosen to be "passive" living objects in Vaikuntha or Goloka Vrindavana that does not involve visible reactions, or active participation.

This is playing a passive or seemingly inactive role in Krsna's (God's) Kingdom.

However, one should NOT confuse a "passive relationships" in Vaikuntha or Goloka-Vrindavana, with the impersonal mundane inactive position in the impersonal Brahmajyoti.

The fact is, Krsna's abode is full of diversity where the jiva-souls can voluntarily express themselves in various kinds of pure loving exchanges in their service to Krsna.

From active service of being a Cow herd boy or gopi, to an inactive service like being a flag on top of a flag pole or a street sign. 

Such "personal" relationships with Krsna or Visnu are NOT "impersonal" but are almost inconceivable to the neophyte immature devotees.

These relationships with Krsna are also based on reciprocation and loving exchanges too, even if the jiva-souls manifest themselves as a cloud in the sky, a bench for Krsna to sit on, or a plate for Krsna to eat off.

Just like we enjoy relationships with our families and society, so does Krsna enjoy associating with His family and friends.

However, all of His relationships are eternal in Goloka-Vrindavana, each jiva-soul ARE an eternal svarūpa spiritual form like Krsna's Bodily form in their full potential, completely free of material contamination.

However, in the spiritual world the jiva-souls can also voluntarily appear as any form they choose, the stage of bodily appearances is unlimited.

Each of Krsna’s devotees (jiva-souls or marginal living entities) interact with Him by their "free will" in one of five primary relationships as said above. 

All jiva-souls are EQUALLY intimate with Krsna because in the spiritual world, all relationships with Krsna are equally blissful, just like one may like a carnation flower while others like roses.

Although, advanced loving relationship with Krsna number from one to five.

These five are -

1 - Neutrality, 

2 - Servitude, 

3 - Friendship, 

4 - Parental affection, 

5 - And conjugal love. 

More intimate love of God reaches its summit in romantic exchanges with Krsna.

Each devotee eternally feels one of these main moods- 

Devotees in the mood of neutrality voluntarily choose to witness and support Krsna’s pastimes by their presence as plants, animals, streams, and so on, as well as normally inanimate objects like houses—all of which are fully conscious and alive in Goloka-Vrindavan.

Devotees in the service mood voluntarily choose to run errands for Krsna, pack His lunch, wash His clothes, and perform other acts of loving service for Him.

Devotees in the fraternal mood voluntarily choose to serve Krsna by being His friends. They are sometimes boastful, considering themselves equal to Krsna because they have no idea Krsna is the Supreme Personality of Godhead and cause of ALL causes, nor do they care. 

In His company, they herd cows and enjoy games in the beautiful country setting.

Devotees who voluntarily choose to be in the parental mood, see themselves as Krsna’s provider and protector. Krsna behaves with them like a dependent child. His mother cuddles Him, carefully prepares His meals, and thinks only of His protection. His father sees that He has all the comforts of a normal home.

Devotees who voluntarily choose to be in the conjugal (of whom many are also Visnu-tattva and NOT just jiva-souls) position, or romantic mood, offer service as Krsna’s girlfriends, relating with Him in the intimacy of lover and beloved..^..
