Question: How Are We One with Krishna?You mentioned that we are eternal spirit-souls in quality one with the supreme source of all existence, Krishna or God. However it is also mentioned that Krishna is the energetic, i.e. the source and that we are his marginal energies. How then these two entities be qualitatively the same?Youur servant,Hare KrishnaAnswer: As the Sun and the SunshineThe sunshine is one with the sun planet because it is nothing other than the expanded energy of the sun planet. In a similar way, the living beings and the Supreme Being are one because the living beings are nothing but the expanded energy of the Supreme Being.The difference is that the sun planet is emanating the sunshine. The sun planet is not being emanated by sunshine. Similarly, the Supreme Being is emanating the living beings. He is not an emanation from the living beings.Hari Hari Bol...

There is a saint from nirguṇa sampradāya, Śrī Dādudayāl Jī Mahārāj. He advocated that unite your body and mind the way salt dissolves completely in water. When the individual soul (jīv) becomes one with the Supreme (Brahm), then what second reality remains? Hari Hari.
It is true that the Lord is the Supersoul, and we jivas are His marginal potencies. The jivas are non-different from the Lord, yet they remain different at the same time.
Just as the sun and its rays are non-different, yet there is still a distinction between them, similarly, the jiva always remains marginal, while the Lord remains the Supersoul or Paramatma. The jiva can never become equal to or completely one with Him in any way.
If this distinction is lost, there is merging of the jiva into the Paramatma, which is called Sayujya Mukti, and that is the last thing a jiva should desire.
The real position of the jiva is to serve and please Lord Sri Krishna, and never to aspire for any other position.
We are not craving for mukti. It is simply spiritual suicide.
At this point, I would discourage you from reading scriptures other than those mentioned in the books of Srila Prabhupada.
Please do not quote other books or other sampradayas.
There is inconceivable oneness as well as distinction at the same time.
The Gaudiya Sampradaya follows the philosophy of Achintya Bheda Abheda Tattva.
Thank you for abiding by the rules of the website and pls. donot post about Nirguna sampradaya again.
The controls feel responsive, which is essential for a slope game built around precision. When you make a mistake, it usually feels like your fault rather than the game’s. That kind of feedback loop makes it easier to improve over time. You start recognizing what went wrong and adjust your movement in the next run. Progress feels earned instead of random.
