Lord Balarama the first expansion of Krishna.

Srila BR Sridhar Swami would say all discord is harmonized in the absolute.
What is that discord?
Conditioned nature or spiritual nature ?
What is meant by  someone’s nature ?
In the material world ones nature is acquired by one’s own  material actions generated by universal affairs in a responsive universe
In the spiritual world, ones eternal and original spiritual nature is revealed when one gives up material nature . Spiritual life is an uncovering process, a cleansing of temporary nature acquired by ignoring the spiritual reality.
Material natures can change , free will and our choices change , conditioned nature is endlessly mutable, but spiritual nature is dynamic ever increasing and permanently situated beyond the atoms , elements, and compounds . Love, in its real pure  form, is always increasing , to love and be loved is the inherant nature of the consciousness because we are part and parcels of Divinity who possesses that nature.
All the spiritually minded individuals, although sometimes appearing in discordant ways , as the personality effects inevitably bring to the consciousness, are harmonized in the absolute . Everyone in the spiritual realm has pure intentions but different intentions towards Krishna , or God .
Lord Balarama , who is Krishna’s first expansion , brings forth various expansions and multifarious energies , both spiritual and material in nature .Our conditioned minds and conditioned intelligences  are part of His energies that make up our own subtle body .
We have a gross and subtle body, but that is not our permanent condition but rather that material nature is forever in fluctuation , it responds to desire , the many possibilities of quantum physics,  one could say is playing out .
Balarama, through His expansions called Mula Sankarsan, Maha Sankarsan and  Maha Visnu, and all his  corresponding energies, both material and spiritual, serves Krishna in incalculable ways .
Balarama is the original Guru for all beings, and the particles of eternal consciousness, the living beings, all expand from Him . Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead’s first expansion is Lord Balarama, and He is said to be non different that Krishna.
Lord Balarama is the great servant of Kṛṣṇa and encourages us to follow in the service mode .

It’s indeed inconceivable that the innumerable individual living beings who each possess a unique sense of individuality can, in an individual way, express that towards Divinity.
