Varigatedness of touch , sound ,smell, taste, and sight within matter is one thing . It is experienced differently according to ones acquired senses, everything that lives has this experience along with a particular thinking , feeling, and willing .
The spiritual kingdom is not lacking varigatedness, except the bodies there are made of the same energies as the consciousness. In the spiritual kingdom, you are your body permanently.
But with ever-increasing enthusiasm and no feelings of stalemate or bring satiated , the thinking , feeling, and willing are full of ecstatic bliss, and each relationship increases this bliss .
The Supreme personality of Godhead and the Supreme Goddess of fortune instigate such wondrously playful pastimes.
One can not stop feeling thinking or feeling, that is the nature of the soul , the soul is consciousness.
Although it is a fact that the impersonal effulgence of Divinity is absent of varigatedness and there one can merge into a satifying deep sleep, wouldn’t you rather be awake and active?.

In Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur’s letter to Srila Bhaktisiddanta Sarasvati Goswami Maharaja, we get a hint of what’s to come.
To establish Krishna consciousness within society at large the Sankirtana movement of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu would move both in peripheral and cor ways, in doing so the internal are brought to the externals and the internal are brought to the external as the cor and peripherals interface.
The founder of the International Society for Krishna consciousness has set firm footholds, there is no going back , irresistibly all souls are being caught up, and the demons will be defeated

Absolute math ..

Is 1+1 always 2

Actually.
In the absolute realm .

I+1=1 and 1 – 1 = 1
The calculations are based on the Vedic aphorism.

Inconceivably one and different.

Inside outside .

Everywhere but nowhere

Thus the original consciousness is not subjected to material calculations. ….

Einstein and spooky action at a distance also refers to one part of the universe knowing immediately what another part is doing even trillions of miles apart ..

The mechanistic Darwinian and those who consider scientific materialism as absolute have  to take himself out of their own limitations.. imposed upon him by the laws of  time and nature , it’s a fact that only a tiny percentage of light frequency is observed by humans , what to speak of a limited mind and intellect.

The limited can not calculate the unlimited except if the unlimited allows it . If the unlimited could not allow the limited to know the unlimited, the unlimited would not be unlimited….

By the  unlimited mercy of the unlimited the limited can know something of the unlimited.

In Bhagavad Gita Krishna after explaining plenty of detail of the complete makeup of man , consciousness and material nature within a multidimensional universe declares ,” This is just but a spark of My splendour “

The Darwinian mantra for liberation

Math is everywhere everything is math ….
If they chant this 1008 times per day .
The acceptance of subjective speculations subside .

Trancendental love and trancendental logic are the gifts of Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu , He bestows these  gifts to His  devotees of  the param para systems of association . Such devotees  vibrate trancendental pure sound and trancendental logic, and their writings  further present them and explain them .

The Goswamis of Vrndavana, headed by Srila Rupa Goswami and  Srila Ragganatha das Goswami , as well as Srila Sanatana Goswami and Srila Jiva Goswami who had further elaborated on the presentation and scholarship of Srila Gopal Bhatta Goswami have all demonstrated personally the trancendental love and logic of Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu which is the essence of Krishna consciousness . This is liken to the new testament , in that Mahāprabhu is revealing the mysterious and glorious trancendental attractions between Radha and Krishna to its fullest extent ,something that had never been fully revealed previous to Mahaprabhu’s appearance.

This revelation of the glorious position in trancendental love that the Manjaris offer in service in assisting Radha Krishna is refered to as Radha Dasyam. The Manjaris assist  Srimati Radharani in many wonderful ways to assure that Radha Krishna can experience their trancendental loving affair under all circumstances where union and separation occur in sometimes unpredictable circumstances and that bring the great trancendental waves of blissful emotions both in union and seperation.

The Gaudia Vaisnava’s reflect on  these trancendental affairs through the writings  of the Goswami’s who  appeared with Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu as Rupa Goswami and Ragganatha das , they are Manjaris of Srimati Radharani and left their association through their direct  followers and through their writings in the form of Sastra sanga.  Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur  , Srila Bhaktisiddanta Sarasvati Goswami Maharaja desired that this love and logic be widely distributed.  In  recent times, Srila AC Bhavtivedanta Swami has brought this to the attention of the world.

The traditional Gaudia Vaisnava teachings, along with all their branches and histories, are all unfolding , like beautiful lotus flowers .

You can’t “moralize” your way out the material worlds.

Ultimately, sets of morals and ethics could be said to be like yogic practices .  Voluntarily controlling one’s mind and senses , for the benefit of one’s own self  mental well-being, and other’s mental well-being.  It can be understood as a  commitment to a higher cause , other than animalistic uncontrolled exploitation  for one’s own personal sense gratification .

The uncontrolled mind and senses are actually a great danger to us , warnings are  discussed elaborately in the Bhagavad Gita by Lord Krishna who says our minds that cause our  actions can be our greatest friend or our worse enemy. Although , in Western cultures, we are repeatedly given the narrative time and time again   to accept  libertarianism as a great device for real freedom. This is foolhardy.  Western litratures , the arts , social media, and mainstream all bring this idea to the forefront of everything.  “Take your mind and senses,  and do what you will …freedoms to do what you like , is a  great  happiness ,don’t let anyone or anything bring any form of  suppression ” You live once and die once is the underlying message.

The Vedas give an entirely different picture of freedom. Freedom from the material mind and material senses and an aquiring of a spiritual mind and senses if the goal . If  you put iron in fire, it acts like fire .  Ultimately, to gain association with Divinity and regain our spiritual identity, one has to learn to love God and understand His qualities and become familiar with His form and activities along with all His associates. The platform of yogic practices, as well as  morals and ethics, are an  essential step in freedom from the dictates of our conditioned nature . One automatically experiences a higher taste in a spiritual dimension , so lower tastes are automatically discarded .Bhagavad Gita discusses that path . Divinities association along with His associates , is so trancendentally intoxicating , and with grace and humility one can  be fortunate to receive it ,  but not if we are proud of our morals,  ethics and learning without God , or if we  consider rather proudly,  Divinity owes His love and reciprocation to us because of our practices .  All pride has to go . If one feels himself low and unworthy , the highest consciousness of Divinity is attracted because in love, there is dependency.

So , cut glass or diamonds?

When one has a liking for diamonds, the cut glass is automatically discarded. By Chanting the names of Divinity in a humbled spirit, one can begin to enter the Pastimes and activities of the Lord .

Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur has commented that someone with pure intent should lead the chanting of the Holy names . In leading the Holy names, one may enter and realise something of a relationship with Krishna or a particular lila, and in congregational chanting, it brings the awareness of everyone’s spiritual natures in one way or another.

When it comes to understanding Krishna consciousness in all its depths, it will depend on our sacrifice, our Sadhu sanga , and our  Sastra Sanga, each dependent on each other Its a  decending process and its by grace , all unwanted things should be removed by deep payer .Without Sadhu sanga, there can not be Sastra sanga,  without Sastra sanga, there can not be discernment in Sadhu sanga.

The following verses indicate the importance of pure association and how one benefits.

Mahāprabhu told just one moments association with a pure devotee is highly beneficial,  and warned against association of materialistic calculating people

The verse Tasmad Gurum  prapadyeta .11.3.21.Srimad Bhagavatam. Tells of those who have realised the proper conclusions of the scriptures.

The following should be throughly understood .

There are 1st class 2nd class and 3rd class devotees , the verses refer to first class and at least well progressed 2nd class devotees

3.25.25

satāṁ prasaṅgān mama vīrya-saṁvido
bhavanti hṛt-karṇa-rasāyanāḥ kathāḥ
taj-joṣaṇād āśv apavarga-vartmani

Translation
In the association of pure devotees, discussion of the pastimes and activities of the Supreme Personality of Godhead is very pleasing and satisfying to the ear and the heart. By cultivating such knowledge, one gradually becomes advanced on the path of liberation, and thereafter, he is freed, and his attraction becomes fixed. Then real devotion and devotional service begin.

1.2.16

śuśrūṣoḥ śraddadhānasya
vāsudeva-kathā-ruciḥ
syān mahat-sevayā viprāḥ
puṇya-tīrtha-niṣevaṇāt
Synonyms

Translation
O twice-born sages, by serving those devotees who are completely freed from all vice, great service is done. By such service, one gains affinity for hearing the messages of Vāsudeva.

We should understand that Sri Guru comes as both Siksa and Diksa and also to one who is purified by association and services. The Sastra sanga of the previous acaryas can bestow great blessings .

http://www.thevedicspectator.com

In Gaudia Vaisnava Tattva, not only are there branches of disciplic succession but also branches and networks of countless varieties of services offered to  Divinity. Both are synonymous , connecting to a disciplic succession automatically means connecting to services of Divinity.
Services are carried not only in the material world  and when perfected ,  the example has been given , of cold iron becoming like red hot fire .Ones body mind and senses become spiritualized by Mahaprabhu and Sri Gurus grace.  Significantly ,  services directly connected with Goloka Vrndavana and the residents thereof begin to become revealed and experienced .

The Vaishnavas who has  aspirations for the sweetness of Krishna consciousness gives up the many variables of fake sweetness and deceit masquerading as true and honest relationships within the material world , they look for those in true recovery mode and carry out their recovery in their company.

The results of following the networking of services of the  various branches of disciplic succession is sweetness of a once  desert like  heart and a distaste for the bitterness that once posed itself  as sweet here in this world of names is rejected .

On a tree, we see many branches they all look different in their way , but on the other hand, if you rub the leaves together, they all taste the same , thus the many branches of Gaudia Vaisnavism is  like that and should be understood as such .

Krishna consciousness means to understand everything in the round , karma yoga,  niskarma karma yoga,  jnana yoga , astanga yoga ,and it’s perfection culminating in Bhaki yoga .

The broad application of Dharma sastra , Karma satra , Jnana sastra, and culminating in Bhaki Sastra should be understood as peripheral and cor practice.

The acceptances of all the teachings of the Gaudia Vaisnava sampradaya are absolutely essential. In a  gradual progression order from Sadhana to Raganuga, black , white , many shades of grey ,  as given by Srila Rupa Goswami, practised by Ragganatha das Goswami and explained by Srila Jiva Goswami These have been brought to light in modern times by Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur,  and further  practicality demonstrated by Srila Bhaktisiddanta Sarasvati Goswami, those that Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada has connected everyone to , along with some of his God brothers .

We must understand the fullness  of our historical sampradaya and the traditions they represent as shaped by Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu.

The essence of Krishna consciousness,  Srila Bhaktisiddanta Sarasvati Goswami Maharaja once said to one of  his leading disciples that he was  really trying to give , and that  his father Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur relished  , such an essence he said  has been given and understood ,  Srila BR Sridhar Swami tells of a conversation of his Guru Maharaja.

Srimad Bhagavatam 1.2.19

tadā rajas-tamo-bhāvāḥ
kāma-lobhādayaś ca ye
ceta etair anāviddhaṁ
sthitaṁ sattve prasīdati

Synonyms

tadā — at that time; rajaḥ — in the mode of passion; tamaḥ — the mode of ignorance; bhāvāḥ — the situation; kāma — lust and desire; lobha — hankering; ādayaḥ — others; ca — and; ye — whatever they are; cetaḥ — the mind; etaiḥ — by these; anāviddham — without being affected; sthitam — being fixed; sattve — in the mode of goodness; prasīdati — thus becomes fully satisfied.

Translation

As soon as irrevocable loving service is established in the heart, the effects of nature’s modes of passion and ignorance, such as lust, desire and hankering, disappear from the heart. Then the devotee is established in goodness, and he becomes completely happy.

The psychological scientific process is described. The Vedas give an analysis of what’s called modes of nature , namely goodness , passion, and ignorance. One may wonder why religious or yogic life is strict in some senses. This verse provides the answers,  actually it’s a well known fact that discipline is essential for happy healthy and steadily progressive lives . The army uses it , schools use it , why not religious people.

The recommendation in the Vedas is to make the mind the best of friends and control it rather than it controlling us . With sacred chanting of any name of God, this practice is made easy . “it’s more difficult to control the mind than to stop the raging wind,” Arjuna tells Krishna in Bhagavad Gita.

If one is successful in controlling the mind and senses one comes to the platform of goodness , the beginning of the opening to trancendental wisdom , in such consciousness one is firmly situated and very well understands dualism and beyond.

To realise one is not the body and to see the true equality of all living beings and being free from the influences of lust ,anger , greed , envy and self centred madness is the results of trancendental training.

By association of those well practised and by helping them in their particular endeavours to render services to God and also humanity, one can boost one’s enthusiasm in getting free from the lower modes and reach high

From one come the many ..

Have a look at microbial intelliigence.
Of course they are alive , studies how been made of their specific behavior
From one come many. From the energetic source comes infinate energies .
Have a look , as for example at one acorn tree , in its life how many acorns will it produce.
Every thing in nature is interconnected and playing a specific role..it cannot be denied .This is far too complex to be done by chance unguided mutations originating from a primordial soup.
Mutational math would take trillions of years. The universe is calculated in much lesser numbers .
Logic and rationale is sadly lacking in Darwinian scientific materialism.

Within the prison everyone has a duty allocated.
If one understands dualism and consciousness that is transferable, he will understand the responsive universe.
The parallel to the Vedas is the many possibilities of quantum physics. ..you get what you want to be life after life .
Each pleasure seeking particle of consciousness is on a journey to find satisfaction, but they are never satisfied by atoms , elements or compounds , or a mind and intellect trying to exploit such energies.
Oil in water. One could say
We require oil in oil..

Gaudia Vaisnavism and its  distribution

Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur particularly wanted to bring Vedic culture in all  of its aspects to modernity . In current times the cream of the Vedas  in the form of the Srila Bhagavatam as well as Caitanya Caratamrita that are the essence of the Gaudia Vaisnava conclusions  taught by Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu to the Goswami’s of Vrndavana , are presented by ISKCON and other Gaudia Vaisnava all over the world. It was Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada who brought them to the shores of the USA  in 1965 . Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur had prayed for a son who could continue and expand his  desire to  establish Krishna consciousness and specifically the Raga Marg of the  residents of Vrndavana where everyone is ultimately under the service of Srimati Radharani in one way or another in giving all pleasure to Krishna . Srila Bhaktisiddanta Sarasvati Goswami Maharaja appeared as the son of Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur, who served his fathers trancendental desires. He extensively reintroduced Gaudia Vaisnavism in bone fide ways within India , correcting the many  misunderstandings . His two leading disciples who specialise in presenting Krishna consciousness scientifically , philosophically, and culturally as well as appropriately to the Western audience are Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada and Srila BR Sridhar Swami . Other prominent disciples also made major contributions. Srila AC Bhavtivedanta Swami Prabhupada has given the Western world a chance to practically explore the Vedic Culures and examine its many benefits , introducing its unlimited wealth . He was a  most prolific writer and teacher. There  is no doubt Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami, who brought , under the orders of his spiritual master , those Gaudia Vaisnava teachings worldwide was extremely successful. This was the  same mission that was originally desired by Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur and Srila Bhaktisiddanta Sarasvati Goswami Maharaja . Its noteworthy to say that when Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami left the world , he instructed his disciples that if they had questions about Gaudia Vaisnava tattva they should approach Srila BR Sridhar Swami , Srila Bhaktisiddanta Sarasvati Goswami Maharaja commented that he was content that Srila BR Sridha Swami had understood everything of his teachings .
Many other Gaudia Vaisnava acaryas have contributed and are contributing ..Some are  presenting other more esoteric aspects that are required to be delved into by the mature student , the teachings of  Srila Rupa and Ragganatha  Goswami’s

Both Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami and Srila BR Sridhar Swami could have at any time elaborated  unlimitedly on the deepest aspects of Gaudia teachings and occasionally did so  . Although bringing the whole  of the Western world and helping everyone enter into and understand the Vedic  topics in systematic ways as is  recommended in the Srimad Bhagavatam was their  general approach and, of course, it needed to be.
