Is it possible for nitya baddha to become nitya mukta

Posted by Akshit on December 8, 2025 at 7:48pm

Hare Krishna to all the devotees 

All glories to srila Prabhupada 

 

There are two kinds of living entities 

  1. Nitya baddha (eternally conditioned) who are from eternity (from the life cycle of many many brahmās) conditioned and suffering in the mesires of material nature (bhotik jagad)
  2. Nitya mukta (eternally liberated) who are from eternity service radha Krishna with pure love (in golok vrindavan).

 

So is it possible for these eternally conditioned souls (like me) to become eternally conditioned. 

Since these liberated souls (eternal associates of lord krishna) come to this world to teach us how to go back to home, back to Godhead (like srila Prabhupada) , and partake in the divine pastimes (līla) of lord , as they have intimate relationship with lord, so for souls like me (who are eternally conditioned ) is it possible to become a eternally liberated soul, who are so high that they are with lord in his pastimes!?

 

Disclaimer:- i am not trying to saying that I want to become LIKE srila Prabhupada, I am just asking whether is it possible to become A LIBERATED SOUL like him. 

Jai gaur nitai

      Samajhadaar ke liye ishaara hi kaafi hai!

        Hare Krishna prabhuji

          All your karma ends when you surrender unto the Supreme Personality of Godhead.

          If you are left with no karma how can you continue to be eternally conditioned?

            Yes but my question was whether or not you can become eternally liberated 

            • Krishna das > Akshit December 9, 2025 at 2:07pm

              The Lord says:

              mokshaisyami ma sucah

              If the liberation He offers through complete surrender is not eternal, if it is revocable under some circumstances then it is a cause of worry. Isn't it?

              Then the Lord will not say ma sucah if the liberation He offers is not eternal. Elsewhere He says those who attain His Supreme abode never return to this miserable world. That also tallies with what I am saying. Isn't it?

                You are right prabhuji, I mixed up nitya mukta with nitya siddhas , sorry 

                Hare Krishna

                  Now you are confusing me.

                  What is the difference between

                  nitya-mukta - eternally liberated 

                  and

                  nitya-siddha - eternally perfect ?

                A nitya-baddha can become eternally liberated (nitya-mukta)  or jivan mukta ...even when living in material world can be called Jivan mukta ..because Once liberated, you never become conditioned again.

                But a Jivan mukta soul shouldn't be confused to Nitya Siddha ( like  Shree Radharani,  8 principle gopi's) They are eternally siddhas and they don't need any liberation as they were never ever got caught into maya like us ( nitya badhhas).

                  Ok mataji,

                  So manjris like nayan mani manjri (who came as HDG srila bhaktisiddhant sarasvati thakura Prabhupada) are also nitya siddhas right?
