The highest perfection of love is Srimati Radharani\u2019s love for Sri Krishna: Srila Prabhupada also writes: \u201cLove means the parties, they will not think of [their] own sense gratification but the sense gratification of the beloved. That is pure love. That is not possible in the material world, but we see the example of love in the picture of Vrndavan. In the Vrndavan village, everyone\u2014man, animals and fruits, flowers, water, everything\u2014they are only for loving Krsna. They do not want any return from Krsna. That is real love.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Srila Prabhupada also explains that what we call love in the material world is only a reflection of this real love: In the material world, as Srila Prabhupada explains, love is not pure because we have a desire to attain something in return, even in our spiritual practice: The soul, says Srila Prabhupada, has an eternal tendency to love Krishna, but in the material world this love is transferred elsewhere: Pure love of Krishna, as explained in \u201cThe Nectar of Devotion\u201d is impervious to the pleasures and pains felt in this world, as in the example of Subhadra Devi: You ask, \u201cHow can the conditioned soul get rid of the relativity of love and hatred and reach a spiritual state full of true love?\u201d \u53e4\u8339\u6234\u89e3\u7b54\u4f73\u4e9a\u5151\u5854\u00b7\u8fbe\u65af\u7684\u95ee\u9898\u2014\u2014\u54f2\u90ce\u7ed9DD\u7ffb\u8bd1\u00a0 20210116 \u4f73\u4e9a\u5151\u5854\u00b7\u8fbe\u65af\u7684\u95ee\u9898\uff1a \u5e15\u5e03\u5e15\u5fb7\u8bf4\u201c\u81ea\u7531… \u7ee7\u7eed\u9605\u8bfb \u53e4\u8339\u6234\u89e3\u7b54\u4f73\u4e9a\u5151\u5854\u00b7\u8fbe\u65af\u7684\u95ee\u9898<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-227","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-preaching"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.umapatiswami.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/227","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.umapatiswami.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.umapatiswami.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.umapatiswami.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.umapatiswami.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=227"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"http:\/\/www.umapatiswami.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/227\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":890,"href":"http:\/\/www.umapatiswami.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/227\/revisions\/890"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.umapatiswami.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=227"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.umapatiswami.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=227"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.umapatiswami.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=227"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

Jayadvaita, First Question:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
You also said, “without free will, there can be no love.”
It can be seen that free will and love are very important to the soul. But in the material world, the conditioned soul is often confused by the duality of love and hatred, abusing free will, making all kinds of mistakes and suffering a lot. In order to escape this painful entanglement, in order to seek relief, people sometimes even take refuge in unreal paths such as voidism and impersonalism, resulting in deeper entanglement in the material world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1. What is the nature of love and what is its relationship with the soul?
2. Modern human society often confuses love with lust. Is there real love in the material world?
3. If there is no love in the material world, what is the difference and connection between the love in the material world and the love in the spiritual world?
4. How can the conditioned soul get rid of the relativity of love and hatred and reach a spiritual state full of true love?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
GURUDEVA ANSWER:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI know no one but Krsna as my Lord, and He shall remain so even if He handles me roughly in His embrace or makes me brokenhearted by not being present before me. He is completely free to do anything and everything, for He is always my worshipful Lord unconditionally.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cJust like if you love somebody, the intense love is that your lover or beloved is everything. That is love. Just like a mother loves her child. So she is always anxious to take care of the child. Whole attention is on the child. These are examples. These are not actually love, but a perverted reflection of love.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2026
\u201cWe should love God without cause, without any cause. But we go to the temple and chant with a motive. We go there and pray, \u2018God, give us our daily bread. I have come to You for my bread.\u2019 This is not love of God. This is love of bread.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe understand that a system of religiosity is to be understood as the most perfect if by following such [a] system, we enrich our tendency to love God. Actually, that tendency is in everyone, but on account of not being associated with pure devotees, our love is placed on something non-God.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAbhimanyu was the son of Subhadra, Krsna\u2019s younger sister [and Arjuna]. He was killed at the Battle of Kuruksetra by the combined efforts of all the commanders in King Duryodhana’s army\u2014namely Karna, Asvatthama, Jayadratha, Bhisma, Krpacarya and Dronacarya. In order to assure Krsna that there was no change of love on Subhadra’s part, Arjuna informed Him, \u2018Although Abhimanyu was killed almost in Your presence, Subhadra’s love for You is not agitated at all, nor has it even slightly changed its original color.\u2019\u201d
(Note: Abhimanyu, though only 17, was such a great warrior that the abovementioned generals had to cheat and break the rules of war to kill him. Maharaja Pariksit is his son.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Srila Prabhupada answered this question during a class in Los Angeles, sometime around 1969:
\u201cThe cowherd boys,\u201d asked my godbrother Upendra Dasa, \u201cwere they eternal associates of Krishna, or were they formerly conditioned souls who had attained the spiritual world?\u201d
\u201cBoth,\u201d said Prabhupada.
\u201cThen,\u201d said Upendra, \u201cdoes that mean a conditioned soul can become an eternal associate of Krishna?\u201d
\u201cCertainly,\u201d said Prabhupada. \u201cOtherwise, what is the use of Krishna Consciousness?\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
