The mysterious workings of Maha-Visnu's material creation works in a way that not even science fiction writers could ever imagine.
All material bodily vessels within the 8 million 400 thousand species of life in the material world (matter), are therefore "hired" from the sleeping and dreaming Maha-Visnu and are a material bodily vessel gateway for the individual jiva-souls to occupy and enter the temporary material world (matter).
Only 400 thousand species are the different grades of human beings who have different levels of free will, while the other 8 million species are all in the lower species of life and have no free will.
Instead, they are totally controlled by the sensual material demands of the material bodily vessel which are-
eating,
sleeping,
mating,
defending.
For each individual jiva-soul trapped in the material world to reach the rare human form of life and experience "free will," is extremely very, very rare in the material world.
All individual jiva-souls "hire" a material bodily vessel from Maha-Visnu's material dreams for the purpose of entering the temporary material world and attempt to live an independent existence without God.
The material bodily containers are the alternative for those individual jiva-souls (marginal living entities) who reject serving Krsna in Goloka-Vrindavana or Visnu on the Vaikuntha planets (the perpetual Kingdom of God) as their real eternal spiritual bodily form.
Therefore, all material bodily vessels are provided by Maha-Visnu to those individual jiva-souls who can no longer stay in the spiritual planets because of their rejection of Krsna or Visnu and must therefore enter the material world.
No individual jiva-souls (marginal living entities) originate from Maha-Visnu, or the impersonal inactive brahmajyoti.
The fallen individual jiva-souls only move from the Vaikuntha planets and Goloka-Vrindavana into Maha-Visnu's dreams then "hire" from Maha-Visnu a material bodily vessel according to their desires for their journey through the material creation.
There are unlimited material bodily vessels available to the individual jiva-souls who have chosen to leave the Vaikuntha planets and Goloka-Vrindavana, that instantly places them in Maha-Visnu's "dreams" of material creation as said above.
The individual jiva-souls (marginal living entities), just like Krsna, were NEVER created! Each individual jiva-soul has no origin and will never cease to be as Bhagavad Gita Chapter 2 states, explaining they were never created and will never cease to be. As said above, the individual jiva-souls are eternal like Krsna.
Also, Krsna and the individual jiva-souls are like the Sun-disc and the sun-rays, they cannot exist without each other.
Therefore, Krsna and the jiva-souls have always existed together and were never created as emphasised above.
Although the real permanent home and origin of the individual jiva-souls is always in either the Vaikuntha planets of Lord Visnu, or Krsna's central planet of Goloka Vrindavana, and NOT living in the temporary mundane material world, or merged inactively (dormant) in the impersonal Brahmajyoti.
From Maha Visnu's point of view, the movement through material time's past, present and future, all exist simultaneously and is always there as a permanent pathway that unlimited jiva-souls are continuously moving through.
Srila Prabhupada – "This material creation is the spirit soul’s dream, actually all existence in the material world is a dream of Maha-Visnu, as the Brahma-Samhita describes-
"This material world is created by the dreaming of Maha-Visnu. The real, factual platform is the spiritual world, but when the spirit soul wants to imitate the Supreme Personality of Godhead, he is put into this dreamland of material creation." (SB, Canto 4 Ch 29 Text 83)
Srila Prabhupada – "Everything happening within time, which consists of past, present and future, is merely a dream. This is the secret in understanding in all the Vedic literature." (SB, Canto 4 Ch 29 text 2b)
Srila Prabhupada – "Our contact with matter is just like dream. Actually we are not fallen. Therefore, because we are not fallen, at any moment we can revive our Krsna consciousness, we break the dream." (Tokyo Japan 1972, SB lecture)
Srila Prabhupada – "Factually all of material existence is only a dream, thus there is no question of past, present or future. Persons who are addicted to karma-kanda-vicara, which means ‘working for future happiness through fruitive activities,' are also dreaming. Similarly, past happiness and present happiness are merely dreams." (SB, Canto 4 Ch 29 text 2b)
The material bodily passage through past, present and future is an eternal "pathway" that the individual jiva-souls move through from its start (birth), to its end (death), and is like a long winding road.
The realities of Maha-Visnu's dreaming material creations are inconceivable, they are always available to the individual jiva-souls who choose to enter the temporary material world. They can never be changed because they are Maha-Visnu's dreams that the individual jiva-souls can only "hire" from Him as they are.
However, Maha-Visnu has an unlimited endless flow of dreams that cover anything the individual jiva-souls desire while in the material world.
Only Maha-Visnu can change the out come of His dreams that make up the material world. Therefore, each material bodily vessel's pathway through past, present and future is already set in stone from its beginning to its end.
As said above, this means each material bodily "pathway" the visiting individual jiva-soul travels in, comes from the already "dreamed" dreams of Maha Visnu and can only be experienced and never be changed (hence, set in stone).
It is therefore clear the visiting individual jiva-souls who choose to leave the spiritual world and enter the material world, must obtain (hire) a material bodily vessel ("blue-print") from Maha Visnu, just like hiring an already established clothing outfit from a Costume Shop.
This is why once the individual jiva-soul has entered one of Maha-Visnu's dreams, nothing in that material bodily pathway can be changed, and experiencing "free will" is part of the equation within Maha-Visnu's dreams.
Also, it may be possible that each material bodily pathway is always available and continuously re-occupied by other visiting individual jiva-souls in other material universal creations (Brahmandas) who have also chosen to enter the temporary mysterous material creation where the material energy can manifest in unlimited ways ALL found within Maha-Visnu's dreaming of the material world.
Linear time is the movement from past to present and then to future, in other words, linear time is where time is seen sequentially, as a series of events that are leading along a pathway, from experiencing its beginning middle and end.
Seeing the entire journey on a long winding road all at once is seeing ABOVE Linear time. Only Maha-Visnu and rare yogis and devotees can see ABOVE linear time like one sees an entire roadway from above in a drone or plane - its beginning, middle and end all at once.
All material bodily vessels are chosen by the individual jiva-souls and are provided from Maha-Visnu's dreams as explained above, His collection of material bodily vessels from His permanent volt of dreams are lived out by the visiting individual jiva-souls in linear time throughout the material universe.
This means all material bodily vessels are like costumes that are "hired" from the Costume shop owner Maha-Visnu.
As said above, all of the individual jiva-soul's desires, choices and expressions of "free will" are factored in before the individual jiva-soul is given a particular material bodily vessel to enter the material creation.
Out of all the 8 million 400 thousand species of life in the material world, free will only exists partially in the very rare human species or form of life (numbering only 400 thousand variety of human beings).
"Free will" does not exist in the other 8 million species of life, there is only the sensual instincts of-
eating,
sleeping,
mating,
defending.
Maha-Visnu sees all, beginning, middle and end of all material bodily vessels because He is God and knows past, present and future.
As a reminder, all material bodily vessels are the dreams of Maha-Visnu and eternally belong to Him. Such material bodily vessels, as explained above, can only be "hired" from Maha-Visnu.
There is always "free will" in the spiritual world's of the Vaikuntha planets and Goloka-Vrindavana but only experienced in the material world partially, and only in the rare human form of life and NEVER in the over 8 million lower species of material bodily containers (vessels).
Also as explained above, each material bodies destiny (created by Maha-Visnu) that the visiting individual jiva-soul's experience, is already mapped out within the dreams of Maha-Visnu that the individual jiva-souls can only "hire" from Maha-Visnu.
Free will only partially exists in the human species and factored into the equation within the material world in such a way that the "free will" of each individual jiva-soul is paradoxically not compromised.
"Free will" always exists in the spiritual world that eternally allows the individual jiva-souls to except, or even reject Krsna by choosing to leave Krsna's association if they choose. Such freedom must be there if love truly voluntary exists in on Vaikuntha planets and Goloka Vrindavana.
So, from the mistaken desires of the rebellious individual jiva-soul, that begins when they put their own selfish desires in the centre, instead of first pleasing Krsna, they "force themselves" to choose a life style separate from Krsna, then they are provided a material bodily vessel from Maha-Visnu's "library of material dreams" that transfers them to His temporary material worlds (Brahmanda universes) and take a temporary material bodily vessel from Maha Visnu's dreams that simultaneously match their desires. This is the beginning of the individual jiva-souls fall down to the material world from the Vaikuntha planets or from Goloka-Vrindavana.
But such fall downs are very rare, only less than 10% of individual jiva-souls fall down from the spiritual planets to the material world.
Rejecting Krsna means the individual jiva-souls can no longer stay in the spiritual world and are therefore instantaneously transferred out of the Vaikuṇṭha planets or Goloka Vṛndāvana and relocated to the material dreams of Maha-Visnu, to His pathways of unlimited material bodily vessels "hired" from Him by the fallen individual jiva-souls.
The fallen individual jiva-souls already knows and agrees with the entire pathway or material bodily vessel they "hire" from Maha-Visnu because their rebellious "desires" are in sync with the bodily pathway (material bodily vessel) from Maha-Visnu's dreams they will enter.
Within Maha-Visnu's material creation exists every possible "dream" meant to fulfil every desire the visiting jiva-souls have, every scenario they can come up with is eternally existing in Maha-Visnu's dreams.
This means the jiva-soul's ability to express "free will" is already factored into the equation of their destiny of the material bodily vessel they choose to enter as explained above.
Bhagavad-gītā As It Is Chapter 11 Text 7-
"O Arjuna, whatever you wish to see, behold at once in this body of Mine! This universal form can show you whatever you now desire to see and whatever you may want to see in the future. Everything moving and nonmoving is here completely, in one place."
Purport-
Srila Prabhupada - "No one can see the entire universe while sitting in one place. Even the most advanced scientist cannot see what is going on in other parts of the universe. But a devotee like Arjuna can see everything that exists in any part of the universe. Kṛṣṇa gives him the power to see anything he wants to see, past, present and future. Thus by the mercy of Kṛṣṇa, Arjuna is able to see everything." (BG, Ch 11 Text 7)
The great sages and devotees in previous ages thousands of years ago were "tri-kāla-jñā."
Tri-kāla-jñā means they could understand-
1 - What was in the past,
2 - What there shall be in the future,
3 - And what is at present.
Srila Prabhupada - "So the point is that five thousand years ago the things which were written for this age, how they are coming to be true in our experience. That is the point: how they could see past, present, and future so nicely. The sages were known as tri-kāla-jñā. Tri means three. There is almost similarity, tri and three. Tri is Sanskrit, and three is English or Latin, but there is similarity. Tri-kāla-jñā. Tri means three, and kāla means time. Time therefore is experienced by three ways-
past,
present,
future.
Time limitation, past, present and future. Whenever you speak of time, it is past, present or future. So, the sages in those days were tri-kāla-jñā. Tri-kāla-jñā means they could understand, they could know what was in the past, what there shall be in the future, and what is at present. Just like in the Bhagavad Gītā, Kṛṣṇa says-
"My Dear Arjuna, you, Me, I, and all these kings and soldiers who have assembled in this battlefield, they were all individuals, and we are still individual. And in this past, in the future, we shall all remain individuals. That past, present, and future, he explained. Another place Kṛṣṇa says, vedāhaṁ samatītāni (BG 7.26) Atītāni, atītāni means past. Vartamānāni ca, and present. So that is yogic power, one can know past, present, and future." (SB, Canto 12 Ch 2 Text 1, San Francisco, March 18, 1968)
There is still a lot more to learn about the movement of the marginal living entity (individual jiva-soul) through material space/time's past, present and future. We have only scratched the surface in understanding Vedic texts in the 50 years since Srila Prabhupada made his valuable contribution to the Western World and reviving Kṛṣṇa consciousness back in India.
The movement of material space/time (past, present, future) in the temporary material creation is eternally divided into that past, present and future like a journey on a roadway that has a beginning point (birth), middle (youth), Adult years) and the end of the roadway (old age and death).
However, this only happens while the individual jiva-souls are covered by material bodily vessels that are governed by the movement of material time.
"Temporary" means the decaying progression of material time's past, present and future thats is birth, youth, middle age, old age and death.
In the spiritual world on the other hand, there is only the "permanence" of the "eternal presence" of Krsna consciousness where everything is eternally fresh, youthful, lovingly eternally centered around Krsna, where the individual jiva-soul's spiritual bodily form never decomposes.
On the spiritual Vaikuntha planets or Goloka-Vrindavana, the individual jiva-souls are all devotees of Krsna or Visnu, they ARE the spiritual body or form.
In the perpetual spiritual world the decaying temporary material bodily vessel that covers the spiritual body does not exist there, nothing material can exist in the spiritualworld.
Srila Prabhupada - "The individual jiva-soul's position in the spiritual world is always voluntary, some devotee want to serve Krsna as a flower; they become flower there. If I want that "As a flower I shall lie down at the lotus feet of Krsna," he becomes flower, voluntarily, and he can change his form, from flower to human body. That is spiritual life, there is no restriction. If some devotee wants to serve Krsna as cow, he serves Krsna as cow, as calf, as flower, as blade of grass, a bench, a flag pole, 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)
Srila Prabhupada - "If you have no free will in the spiritual world, 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." (Aug 5, 1976, New Mayapur France)
Srila Prabhupada - "God is also an individual person as you are individual person, I am individual person, but the difference between God and you and me is this, that you know your business, I know my business, but God knows everyone's business. That is the difference." (Lecture Melb, Australia April 3, 1972)
Having free will (freedom of expression) is the eternal constitutional make up of every marginal living entity (jiva-soul), and is the foundation for the individual jiva-soul's voluntary relationship with Krsna.
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)
Even though Krsna allows the "freedom of expression" the individual jiva-souls have, it is really for His amusement, to see what they do with their eternal freedom of expression.
Krsna at all times always has genuin eternal loving affection for His individual jiva-soul expansions (devotees) far more than they can ever have for Him.
Krsna allows "free will" to eternally exist just to see what the individual jiva-souls choose to do with such freedom of expression and actions.
The individual jiva-souls are given this freedom so they can voluntary choose to make their own decisions.
Krsna always remains the Supreme Personality of Godhead and cause of all causes and all that is happening is also His divine plan, just like the Sun-disc and the sun-rays cannot exist separately from each other.
All material bodily vessels or bodily containers, are part and parcel of the fabric of material energies space/time that governs the temporary material creation and takes up 1/4 of the Spiritual Sky (lifeless matter)
The other 3/4s of the Spiritual Sky are the permanent eternally youthful spiritual worlds (individual units of living anti-matter) eternally existing in the "eternal presence" of Krsna consciousness beyond the decaying influence of past, present and future that only exists in the temporary decaying material worlds.
In the material creation's bodily vessels, the individual jiva-souls are in those material bodily vessels as the passengers who are riding within the material energies fabric in the form of a material bodily container.
Each material bodily vessel is made of material energy (matter) that the individual jiva-souls (anti-matter) possess. In other words, the individual marginal living entities (jiva-souls) are the passengers in a material bodily container made of temporary material energy.
Material energy (matter) becomes again "all-one" as lifeless matter when the individual jiva-souls (living units of anti-matter) give up those material vessels.
The material body the individual jiva-soul was in, then breaks down (decays) into material elements that merge into the "oneness" of material energy.
These unfit material containers that are decaying and breaking down, are no longer suitable for the individual jiva-soul to possess.
When the material bodily vessel is no longer held together by the presents of the individual jiva-soul within it, it decays and breaks down, and eventually merges into the surrounding oneness of material nature (energies)
"Matter" is lifeless and always temporary, where "anti-matter" or life is eternal and can never be destroyed, only the material bodily vessels are destroyed and merges back into material energy like rivers merge into the sea and become one.
Spiritual energy (anti-matter) is not like that, it is eternally individual form, it is Kṛṣṇa the Supreme Personality of Godhead and His unlimited individual living entities in various grades - Visnu-tattva, Siva-tattva and jiva-tattva.
1 - "Matter" is lifeless dead energy existing in the oneness of the material energy and is like the covering of clothing that covers one's material body.
2 - "Anti-matter" is living individual living entities as spiritual bodily forms like Krsna the Supreme Personality of Godhead and cause of all causes, His Visnu-tattva, Siva-tattva and jiva-tattva (jiva-souls) expansions who eternally live in the spiritual worlds of the Vaikuntha planets and Goloka-Vrindavana, except for Lord Siva who prefers to spend most of his time in the material worlds (Brahmanda universes).
The jiva-souls are individual units of "anti-matter" (life) whose eternal home and origins is the spiritual world's of the Vaikuntha planets and Goloka-Vrindavana, whereas the material energy has no life, "matter" is simply dead, devoid of active life.
As said above, all material bodily vessels "hired /given" to the individual jiva-souls, are provided by Maha-Visnu's vault of unlimited dreams that simultaneously match their own desires for the material world.
All desires eternally exist, and even in the dreams of Maha-Visnu, they can be acted upon to serve Krsna, or used to do one's own thing without Kṛṣṇa.
And as the embodied individual jiva-soul continues their journey in the material creation life after life, the accumulation of karma (for every action there is an equal reaction) from acting out those original desires, creates pious and impious reactions, but ONLY in a human form of life (human species) as explained above.
There is no Karma (being responsible for your actions) in the lower species of life where one acts only on the instincts of-
eating,
sleeping,
mating,
defending.
From the over all viewpoint of Maha-Visnu and great sages, they can see past, present and future in the material creation existing simultaneously, just like from above one in a plane can see the beginning, middle and end of a long winding roadway.
And also even with mundane logic, the material desires of an individual marginal living entity (jiva-soul) would eventually repeat themselves again over the span of eternity if they stayed in the material creation that long.
This is because every combination of material elements would be exhausted, and would eventually start repeating themselves over an eternity, if the jiva-soul chooses to remain in the material creation for an almost eternity.
This is possible because the jiva-souls (marginal living entities) are eternal.
But what is really going on?
Even though the material energy is temporary and always decays, the material energy itself is eternal but when destroyed will eventually again reappear due the movement of past, present and future.
Many have asked, could the past activities of a material body one chooses from Maha-Visnu's dreams, still be happening in the universe's "same space" but happening in a different "time", with another individual jiva-soul playing that same part? The answer is yes, infact that is exactly what's going on but inconceivable to our primitive mundane minds.
This is because past, present and future are happening "always" (simultaneously) and are a permanent fixture of the fabric of material energy eternally existing in Maha-Visnu's dreams.
This means all material bodily vessels are like a permanent "POST" or pathway that many individual jiva-souls can also experience the journey over eternity.
There is no beginning or end to Krsna's spiritual creation. And even in the material world, even though it experiences total annihilation, it is ALWAYS again re-created by Maha-Visnu.
Lord Brahma's material bodily vessel is also a POST and are part of Maha-Visnu's dreaming of the material world that many individual jiva-souls can experience if qualified to attain the material bodily vessel of a Brahma.
This further means only those individual jiva-souls with the right qualifactions can experience what ever bodily vessel they are choose, but ONLY if they deserve it.
To be qualified for any material bodily vessel, one must be trained up and simultaneously have corresponding desires to qualify and enter a particular material bodily vessel they deserve, desire, rewarded with or punished with.
Once in the material creation, the individual jiva-souls will eventually take a material body created by their own karma (past good and bad actions)
Everything in the material world already exists within the dreams of Maha-Visnu and the individual jiva-souls just move through those permanent pathways from past, present and future according to desire and karma.
The "material bodily vessel" is NOT a living person, the real PERSON is the living individual jiva-soul within it who is only temporarily covered by this material bodily vessel and travels through it in continuous repeated cycle of birth and death within the material world.*÷*.
