enjoying more than the Lord?

[Guest guest]

Dear Madana Mohan prabhu!

 

Of course in the purport to 1.13.42 Srila Prabhupada speaks about enjoying

a higher or equal FREEDOM and not about the general enjoyment.

 

> Whatever we and other devotees have quoted so far to illustrate how a

> living entity can enjoy more than the Lord still holds true.

 

It's NOT difficult to accept that Srimati Radharani and Her direct

expansions are equal to Krsna.

“...Although Radha and Krsna are one in Their identity, They separated

Themselves eternally....”

 

CC Adi, 1.6

"O best of the brahmanas, Laksmi is the constant companion of the Supreme

Personality of Godhead, Visnu, and therefore she is called anapayini. She is

the mother of all creation. As Lord Visnu is all-pervading, His spiritual

potency, mother Laksmi, is also all-pervading. Lord Visnu has three

principal potencies—internal, external and marginal. Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu

has accepted para-sakti, the spiritual energy of the Lord, as being

identical with the Lord. Thus she is also included in the independent

visnu-tattva."

 

SB 6.19.13, purport

However, in the quotes PRESENTED from CC Adi 4 ch and Madhya 8 ch I could

find nothing about the living entity enjoying more than the Lord:

 

Radha experiences 10 000 000 times more bliss than Krsna -> gopis (twigs,

flowers and leaves of Radharani's creeper) experience 10 000 000 times more

bliss when see Radha's happiness -> The mentioned sakhis are the direct

expansions of Radharani ("The gopis are the personal friends of Srimati

Radharani, and are equal to Her") -> the LIVING ENTITY is not equal to

Srimati Radharani or Her expansions (my conclusion, is it crooked logic?).

 

 

To the best of my knowledge the nitya-parishadas in the spiritual world such

as asta-gopis, Nanda, Yasoda and other closest associates of the Lord belong

to a different tattva than the jiva. Sakti-tattva. Please correct me if I'm

wrong.

 

 

 

The quotes that Lord Krsna depends in His enjoyment on His devotees do not

explicitly indicate that the devotee (a living-entity-devotee) enjoys on a

higher or equal level.

 

 

 

>From the point of view sambandha-jnana the living entiyt is NEVER equal to

the Lord or higher than Him in ANY respect. Just because that which is

unlimitedly minute can't accomodate that which is unlimitedly great (the

Lord's bliss).

 

I'm looking for the self evident sastric statement not for the logical

guess.

 

I assume that from the point of view prayojana/rasa Sastra or our acaryas

might have presented the inconceivable matters in a way as it had been

suggested by your good self. Seems I have not read Srila Prabhupada's books

enough and have not listened enough his lectures - but I can't remember (in

what I listened and read) the statement that the jiva in the spiritual world

can experience the higher bliss than the Lord. If you please could present

some EXPLICIT statement to that effect it would immediately convince such

samshayatma as me.

 

Hare Krsna!

 

Your servant
