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.<<***>>
