Love can never exist when there is just one, there must be two.

Each individual jiva-soul is a unique one of a kind individual person, with their own personality different from all other individual personalities.

In other words, no two individual jiva-souls are the same. 

Genuine loving devotional service to Krsna is only possible in a "two-way" cooperative exchange of voluntary feelings and choices, that only then can lead to loving acts of reciprocation and mutual returns.

Krsna allows the individual jiva-souls to be independent contributing persons in His creation who forever have free will.

The highest love means both Krsna and His devotees serve each other without any desire for returns or reward. 

In fact, even though it is said the individual jiva-souls are Krsna's eternal servants in their full potential, the fact is, Krsna serves His pure devotees far more than they can ever serve Him.

Krsna is the most selfless, the most humble, the most forgiving, the most serving, we tend to forget how loving Krsna is, to His pure devotees. 

For every step the devotee makes towards Krsna, Krsna makes a thousand towards them. Krsna's love for His devotees is inconceivable and deeply personal.

The devotees voluntarily contribute their services and offerings to Krsna, unique to each individual devotee in response to Krsna's love and attention He showers them with. 

These kinds of selfless loving expressions are given in return to Krsna because of Krsna's amazing love, affection, protection and the wonderful attention He always gives to His dear friends and companions, His loving devotees.

These forever expanding "two-way" loving expressions of feelings, emotions and exchanges going on between Kṛṣṇa and His pure devotees, is the real understanding and foundation of what love, devotion and surrendering to Krsna's will really is.

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

Srila Prabhupada - "Love means you take and you give also. Suppose if you love somebody and you simply take from them, but you don't give in return. Oh, do you think that is very good? No, it is not good, that is not love, it is exploitation. If I go on simply taking from you and don't offer you anything in return, then that is simply exploitation." (Lecture BG, Ch 9 text 2-5, New York City, Nov 23, 1966)

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." (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 the lover, He loves you so much that He's trying to get you back home back to Godhead, that is Kṛṣṇa's attempt, "Please, My dear boy, girl or friend, My dear servant, please return home." (Lecture SB, Canto 2 Ch 1 text 3, Paris, June 12, 1974)

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)

Proper loving relations are 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) meant for the individual jiva-souls so they can experience their own unique individuality and voluntary participation in their relationship with Krsna, just so they can freely make their own contributions that they choose to offer to Him that forever expand loving exchanges and reciprocation in a "two-way" mood, and never just a "one-sided" mindless therefore  loveless dictatorship.

Ultimately in the spiritual world free will eternally exists because Krsna wants a "two-way" contributing open relationship with His devotees, therefore He always encourages self expression as unique personal contributions from His dear devotees.

This makes the relationship a forever expanding blissful "two-sided" exchange of loving emotions. The relationship with Krsna must be this way because love can never be experienced with just one, there must two, an open "two-sided" reciprocal relationship of mutual returns, cooperation and respect.

As explained above, real love or bhakti is reciprocal, and exists due to voluntary loving exchanges, it is never a one-sided domination where so called surrender to Krsna takes away the devotees individual freedom to voluntarily provide a variety of unique personal contributions (offerings) to Krsna, or even reject Krsna if they choose.

Therefore, each individual jiva-soul has their own independent personality, yet always simultaneously dependent on Krsna because Krsna is the Supreme God behind everything and therefore the cause of all causes. As Bhagavad Gita As It Is says-

 "Not a blade of grass can move without the will of the Lord."

The simple understanding is this, love is never possible with just one, for love to exist their must be two involved, if you love someone then you always do nice things for them and those they love.

This is only possible between two, the lover and the beloved and NEVER possible within a one-sided impersonal loveless existence. 

Love has no meaning with just one, there must be two experiencing the interactions of loving exchanges. 

On the other hand, for free will to have meaning (freedom of expression), the individual jiva-souls (devotees) can also completely reject Krsna if they choose to do so.

HERE HERE HERE HERE HERE 

The unique relationship between Krsna and His devotees is always a "two-way" exchange of loving reciprocation, voluntary service and a loving cooperation that can NEVER be achieved in a "one-sided" autocracy or dictatorship.

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 decisions, contributions or offerings.

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

Krsna allows the individual jiva-souls (His devotees) to have their "free will" because He wants to see unique voluntary independent expressions of 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 relationship, where the devotee is ordered what to think, and how to serve without being encouraged to think for themselves with their own unique personal voluntary contributions. 

Such a nonsense “one-sided” relationship is a loveless dictatorship and impersonalism!

Krsna allows free will (voluntary self-expression) so His devotees can experience their own unique individuality by making their own offerings or contributions to Him in a way that forever expands loving exchanges and reciprocation in a "two-way" transition and NEVER in a "one-sided" non-contributing loveless dictatorship.

In this way, "free will" eternally exists for the individual jiva-souls because Krsna wants a "two-way" contributing open relationship with them and includes giving the individual jiva-souls the choice to reject Him if they want.

Therefore Krsna always encourages self expression, in both directs. 

The unique personal contributions from His surrendered dear devotees, are meant to contribute to the relationship, making it a "two-sided" exchange of loving emotions.

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

Srila Prabhupada - "In the spiritual world service there is always voluntary for Krsna's devotees. Some devotees want to serve Krsna as flower; 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 can change from flower to human body if the devotee desires, that is spiritual life, it is all voluntary, 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, 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)

Krsna gave His devotees their freedom (free-will) so they can voluntarily choose to serve Kṛṣṇa in unlimited creative ways, or even reject Him if they choose, this will only prove Krsna has allowed free will.

Ultimately this is all Krsna's creation and how He manages it is entirely up to Him as Bhagavad Gita As It Is explains.

However, the devotees having their freedom of self expression must be this way because Krsna knows if He never gave His devotees (the individual jīva-souls) their independence (free will), then genuine loving exchanges, affection and reciprocation in a open two-way exchange, could never exist, making Krsna no different from a cold puppet master who manipulates and controls everything his puppets do and think.

Such a mindless dictatorial existence without free will (unique self expression of voluntary offerings to Krsna) is dangerous impersonalism.

Therefore, Krsna's devotees (individual jiva-souls) are eternal independent thinking thoughtful spiritual living PERSONS, as an eternal spiritual bodily form like Krsna's Bodily Form, who are indestructible and can never be destroyed, terminated, cut into pieces or extinguished as Bhagavad Gita As It Is chapter two explains.

On the Vaikuntha planets and in Goloka-Vrindavana, personal voluntary expressions of loving exchanges expressed through free will, are always encouraged by Krsna in His eternal relationship with His devotees that adds flavour, variety and mystery to the association and intimate relationship.

This means the Kingdom of God is not a "one-sided" dominating impersonal domain devoid of free will (voluntary service and personal contributions)

Such a "one-sided" dictatorial relationship does not allow personal contributions or offerings to God (Krsna) that are only found in a "two-way" relationship that expands, enriches and flavours the devotees personal voluntary service to Krsna.

In an impersonal "one-sided" relationship, where a devotee is always told what to do, how to think and how to act, only denies the devotee's their individual God given ability of self expression that provides unique contributions and voluntary loving exchanges.

As said above, love or service is never a "one-sided" affiliate of total supremacy or pre-eminence in the spiritual world because for love to flourish and expand, there MUST be two.

Genuine loving relationships between Kṛṣṇa and His devotees are based on voluntary reciprocal exchanges and personal contributions between two, love can never be experienced by just one.

The devotees (individual jiva-souĺs) have their choices on how they want to serve and please Krsna too, or they can even choose to reject Krsna if they want, this is the consequence of having free will.

Loving reciprocation is only possible on a "two-way" street between two, with each contributing to the relationship's expansion of nectarine mellows.

The word "reciprocation" only has meaning when there are two involved, not one.

The individual jiva-souĺs (devotees) have their choices too, even if that sometimes means rejecting Krsna and doing their own thing in the temporary material world.

The individual devotees in their full potential on the Vaikuntha planets and Goloka Vrindavana, are forever positively re-inventing themselves by always choosing how to continuously increase their variety of devotional voluntary service to Krsna or Visnu.

This is achieved by forever positively discovering a variety of ways to expand their individual expressions of personal offerings and affection to Krsna in their perpetual unique relationship with Him.

Srila Prabhupada - "If God is not an individual, how did His sons become personalities? If your father is a total emptiness, if he is not an individual, then how did you become an individual? If your father doesn't have a uniform, how did you get one? 

These questions are based on common sense and basic logic; there is nothing difficult here. 

Unfortunately, people who are disappointed in material existence either try to come up with a form of God or conclude that because material form is temporary and causes a lot of suffering, God must not have any form at all. 

According to their logic,since all forms in the material world are absorbent, God is likely to be formless. The Brahma-Samhita especially emphasizes that this notion is wrong. 

Ishwarah paramah krsna, sat-chit-ananda-vigraha. 

God has a form, but His form is sat-chit-ananda-vigraha. 

Sat means "eternal," 

chit means "knowledge,"  

ananda means “bliss"

vigraha means spiritual bodily form, His form is eternal and full of knowledge and bliss." (A path to perfection, Ch 3 The Science of Contemplation of God)

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.” (Lecture SB, Canto 2 Ch 1 text 3, Paris, June 12, 1974)

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

The relationship with Krsna in the spiritual world (The Kingdom of God) is never a “one-way” forced unproductive affinity that denies personal contributions (impersonalism).

The individual devotee's relationship with Krsna is always based on "free will," this allows a variety of unique creative voluntary offerings of service to Krsna, only then can genuine loving exchanges exist.

Śrīla Prabhupāda – “Love means "two-persons," 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, then these things must be there.” (Aug 9, 1976, Tehran)

Personal voluntarily self chosen contributions offered by Krsna's devotees, are different from Krsna's shower of loving affection to His devotees, putting the relationship on a "two-way" street of loving exchanges which means the individual jiva-souls  have their own unique independent thinking and chosen actions.

The relationship between Krsna and His devotees are eternally a "two-way" mystery of exchanges that only further enriches, intensifies and expands loving expressions and affection between the devotees and Krsna.

Such personal unique contributions from the individual devotee's independent expressions, coming from their independent execution of free will, forever expands their personal ability to make voluntary offerings to Krsna in the spiritual world that forever increase their loving emotions for Krsna in a healthy "two-way" exchange of loving reciprocation..<..
