Re: Question about the Jiva's position

Nityananda Gauranga Hare Krishna!

Dear Guruji please accept my humble obeisances. I came across this statement: "Uddhava is a siddha-bhakta (a devotee already at the stage of perfection), so he cannot attain a new relationship with Krsna. But we are now independent (we are free to endeavor for that prema). If, by serving and hearing from a rasika tattva-jna Vaisnava, you will develop greed for serving the gopis and the Divine Couple Sri Sri Radha Krsna, then, by devotional practices you can go to Goloka Vrndavana. One can even attain the state of enjoying the rasa-dance with the gopis, to serve Them there. "

My questions are:

1) From your realizations can you confirm that it is possible that the conditioned jiva, with its infinitesimal free will, can aim for a certain rasa as opposed to an eternal liberated soul like Uddhava or Nanda Maharaja cannot?

2) Since the jiva comes from the marginal potency has he in the liberated position still the possibility to �change� rasa?

3) Can we conclude that in general eternal liberated souls (suddha-avastha) have a �fixed� rasa while the conditioned souls (baddha-avastha) can have a �changeable� rasa?

Thank you for your continuous efforts to clear our path to bhakti and to unwaveringly attach us with the Supreme Lord without asking for anything in return.

Your lowly servant,

Hadai Nityananda dasa

Nityananda Gauranga Hare Krishna!
