A great and important philosophical question posed by Vrajanatha in Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur’s Jiva Dharma, the occupation of the soul .
We are manifest from Lord Balarama, the first expansion of Krishna, and because the soul is part of Him , and Krishna always been , so have we . Within Krishna are unlimited expansions , and unlimited capacity . , thus the simultaneous one and difference of the living beings and God can be looked at in this way . Jiva Goswami also says that Krishna makes the impossible possible by manifesting totally separate entities with free will .
We also have to understand the expression , “ time immemorial ,” we can not fathom its beginnings .
When Balarama brings forth the ” dormant ” Jivas , it is because He wants to increase Krishna’s pleasure. We are not dead stones or downloads of Balarama , but have free will to choose to love and give pleasure. The more we use our free will for its intended purpose , the more freedom we can experience , spiritually and even materially . On our being “manifest ” , just as a good father tells us how to properly conduct life for our greatest benefits , similarly Balarama , our original father , does the same , guidance in numerous ways are in place, unbeknown to most , Balarama bh His examples brings freedom of expression , love and attractions , spontaneously , the living beings reveal their individual consciousness by their own attractions . Love is always voluntary and can never be forced but needs learning at times . The complete and full existence of Divinity is only ever understood by unadulterated love. Indeed , Sanatana Goswami has shown in his literatures in the pastime of Gopa Kumar , that when Gopa finally returned to a spiritual world, the Lord was waiting and embraced him saying “where have you been I have missed you and have been waiting ?” Such is the Love of the Supreme Father of all Krishna.
It’s indicted , by Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur , the jiva enters a tatasta state , which is understood as the impersonal Brahman energies, for those Jivas are not so inclined to share their consciousness in loving exchanges with Divinity . They remain in an impersonal bliss , but for want of activity and relationships, they come to the material planes , ultimately , the material energies refine their activity and they learn to love , and learn that Krishna or God is “Rasaraja” the king of exchanges of love . Its this relationship that the inner desires of every soul is hankering for . This leaving the impersonal spiritual light and beginning material activities is began by a ” transporational” glance , the living being is injected into matter from Maha Sankarsana to Maha Visnu, who glances the beings into matter .
Revealing their state of consciousness and desire , the Jiva is connected either to Maha maya or Yoga maya , i.e., the spiritual or material energies , according to their free spirit . It appears our consciousness , having this free spirit, connected itself to Maha maya , we are in the material universes. Balarama , being our father , and in that sense Balarama and Krishna are one , so Balarama could detect our independence , which was not directed towards pure devotional desires , but also a desire for relationships , having remained in an brahman impersonal energy for some time . Arrangements were made because God is all knowing , and automatically through the ethereal planes within the multidimensional unlimited space time arrangements , the living beings arrive in matter , initially with relatively exalted consciousness . Mahamaya or Durga Devi has the task of providing an illusion of artificial lordship and sensual pleasures and thus temping one to enjoy a separate existence from God , further and further entanglements begin .
Some people say God knows everything , but does He know when you will turn in Love towards Him , and how you will love Him and the intensity ?
In conditioned consciousness, one is firmly in His energy, as the high court judge knows the destination of the criminal , so a harmful soul is under Gods grips , with predicable consequences , but not a pure soul . He has his full freedom and is unpredictable in love . Love in real spiritual terms is every increasing , and unpredictable , unlimited exchanges take place with the master of love Krishna , soul to soul in spiritual bodies , in full spiritual varigatedness.
