So sambandha-jnana, Krsna says in the Bhagavad-gita, what is the position between the living entities and the Supreme Lord. In the Vedas it is stated, nityo nityanam cetanas cetananam eko yo bahunam vidadhati kaman (Katha Upanisad 2.2.13). We are related with God because He is the chief leader. Nityo nityanam. We are all nityas, eternal, and He is the chief eternal. From eternal, chief eternal, small eternals come. Just like the sun is the big illumination, and the sunshine is coming from the sun, small, bright particles. It is also individual. But because it is automatic, molecules, we cannot see differently. We see simply the illumination. But it is combination of bright particles, the sunshine. So in this way, nityo nityanam. Krsna is the big, bright subject, and we are small particles coming from Krsna. Mamaivamso jiva-bhutah [Bg. 15.7]. It is perpetually we are connected. Just like the sun and the sunshine is perpetually connected, Similarly, we are also perpetually connected. Take it any way. Krsna, or Visnu, the supreme father, and we are all sons.
