Guest guest Posted December 27, 2000 Report Share Posted December 27, 2000 >In similar manner, we will accept that sastric statement is true, and as >liberated soul, Srila Prabhupada KNOWS AS MUCH AS KRISHNA DESIRES, since >his liberation is not independent from Krishna's will. The statement in Vedanta Sutra is that the mukta is omniscient, not as you like to imagine above. How are you to determine how much Krishna desires the mukta to know? Sri Vyasa in Vedanta Sutra seems to think Krishna desires the mukta to be omniscient. Baladeva Vidyabhushana seems to agree with Vyasa Muni. Ramanujacharya also agrees with Vyasa Muni. All three of them say the mukta is omniscient. You on the other hand like to think otherwise. Which to accept and which to reject? >Although Arjuna IS liberated soul, still, KRISHNA covered his omnicience. Arjuna was covered by the maya of the Lord according to the Lord's desire, and acted as a conditioned soul - not a liberated soul. Srila Prabhupada was not playing the role of a conditioned soul to be enlightened by the Lord - he was the self-effulgent acharya absolutely free form the influence of illusion.
