orders of guru, different to different disciples

Imported quote 17873

Krsna says... Just like Krsna says to Yudhisthira, "Go and speak the lie," and He speaks to Arjuna that yudhyasva mam anusmara [Bg 8.7]: "You fight," so not the instruction the same to everyone. Krsna knows who is capable to do something particular, and similarly, guru also knows. So it is not that the same instruction is given to all. There may be, because variety. It is not impersonalism, one kind of. No. Variety. Krsna is anandamaya. Ananda means variety is the mother of enjoyment. Unless there are varieties, how there can be ananda? Krsna is sac-cid-ananda. So Krsna's business is variety. The Mayavadis, they cannot understand. They simply understand that we are one. No. Varieties. Cintamani-prakara-sadmasu kalpa-vrksa-laksavrtesu surabhir abhipalayantam [Bs 5.29]. Krsna is enjoying varieties. He is living in the cintamani-dhama. There are surabhi. He's tendering..., tending the cows, and He's playing with the cowherd boy. He's making jokes with the gopis. He is enjoying the company... Varieties. He's becoming the son, dependent son of Mother Yasoda. So Krsna is variety. Without variety, there cannot be enjoyment. So therefore variety of instruction also. (More...)
