PAMHO.

Prabhu, it seems that you don't follow the logic of the text

commented. Hence your question. But if you carefully look at the text

of Mundita Mastaka pr. you'll see that it has got its internal

consistency and is nicely grounded in our philosophy. Sorry for

pointing it out ;(

 

Is it not that Krsna is God, the all-powerful Supreme Personality of

Godhead? Is it not that in Him all contradictions are resolved? Is it

not that He is eko bahunam yo vidadhati kaman?

 

So if some elevated jiva thinks in the heart of his heart that

Radha-Krsna lila is not his home, why would Krsna disagree with His

dear part and parcel? And if some upstart soul dare to think that he

came from Goloka and should return there, why should Krsna refuse this

opportunity to him?

 

So why shouldn't we conclude that it is very much possible that the

jivas go from this world to where they really think they belong to?

 

As for Srila Prabhupada's words, once a sagacious devotee, my big

friend, answering to my question about how we should take this

jiva-fall issue, said that since Prabhupada chose to speak about it in

a particular way, since he was preaching that we came from Radha-Krsna

lila, and it was satisfying to thousands of people in the past, why

shouldn't I be satisfied with this version? After all, he added, if it

is not stated in absolutely clear, unequivocal terms in the sastra,

maybe it's not the most important thing for us to understand, for if

it would be so, if we couldn't get out of this world without getting

this point, it would be definitely stated in the sastras.

 

That was just his opinion, so anyone may disagree with it, but I don't

think it's useful for us to argue with the opinion of a person who

unfortunately can't be reached at the moment.

 

One more thing: recently I opened a book I didn't open since I joined

our movement. I've completely forgotten what it was about. I believe

this is a case with many devotees, not only with me. So in the very

beginning of it I've found a far out verse that, it seems to me, has

something to do with all this discussion:

 

om purnam adah purnam idam

purnat purnam udacyate

purnasya purnam adaya

purnam evavasisyate

 

"The Personality of Godhead is perfect and complete, and because

He is completely perfect, all emanations from Him, such as this

phenomenal world, are perfectly equipped as complete wholes. Whatever

is produced of the complete whole is also complete in itself. Because

He is the complete whole, even though so many complete units emanate

from Him, He remains the complete balance."
