I don't care to discuss "jiva whence" issues, but Srila Prabhupada teaches that everyone comes from the spiritual world, which means that we live there eternally. That's our actual place. Our stay here is (hopefully) only for a short while, but even then, the two aren't necessarily exclusive. We can minimize our svarupa for now, but that doesn't mean it isn't still running; it's just perverted. The pivot to where we're said to reside is where we're placing our attention and love. > Please correct me as I understand that you are saying that living > entities like you and I are simultaneously existing here on earth > Bhur-loka and Vaikuntha. You got it. I hope the above explains what I mean. MDd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
