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...)

So this is the, I mean, the mentality. Why this mentality? The mentality is that "Without varieties we cannot enjoy." Variety is the mother of enjoyment. So the impersonal Brahman realization, or Paramatma realization, does not give us steady ananda. We want ananda. Anandamayo 'bhyasat [Vedanta-sūtra 1.1.12]. The living entity, or Brahman, or Para-brahman... Just like our Krsna: He's Para-brahman. He's enjoying ananda. Similarly, we also, being part and parcel of Krsna, mamaivamso jiva... [Bg 15.7], we want ananda. So ananda cannot be in impersonalism or voidism. That is not possible. Ananda means varieties. When you get varieties of foodstuff made of the same ingredient-same, I mean to say, grains or milk and sugar-but we can prepare hundreds and thousands of preparation-at least hundred preparation-and we enjoy: this is pera, this is burfi, this is ksira, this is rabri, this is dahi, and so many things. So variety is required. Variety is required. So therefore the last word of tattva-jnana is to understand Krsna, who is full of variety.    (More...)
