O que a Jiva tem inerente é a propensão para o serviço devocional. Durante muitas e muitas vidas neste mundo material, a Jiva por boa fortuna, associa-se com um Bhakta e recebe a semente de Bhakti (Bhakti Lata Bija)numa determinada Rasa.
As stated in the Caitanya-caritāmṛta (CC Madhya 22.107):
nitya-siddha-kṛṣṇa-prema ‘sādhya’ kabhu naya
śravaṇādi-śuddha-citte karaye udaya
"Dormant devotional service to Kṛṣṇa is within everyone. Simply by associating with devotees, hearing their good instructions and chanting the Hare Kṛṣṇa mantra, dormant love for Kṛṣṇa is awakened."
In this way one acquires the seed of devotional service. Guru-kṛṣṇa-prasāde pāya bhakti-latā-bīja (CC Madhya 19.151).
Assim, por exemplo, numa vida, a Jiva recebe a associação de um Bhakta em Vatsalya, noutra vida de um Bhakta em Sakhya e noutra vida de um Bhakta em Madhurya. A associação que causar maior impacto é a que prevalece.
Até a Jiva alcançar a perfeição, poderá pela força da associação mudar de Rasa. Uma vez alcançada a perfeição, não muda.
Exemplos: Murari Gupta, um Rama Bhakta, mesmo com a associação pessoal de Caitanya, não mudou de Rasa.
No entanto, o Brahmana do sul da Índia, também um Rama Bhakta, mudou de Rasa com a associação de Caitanya.
No entanto, no mundo espiritual, existe um eterno presente. Enquanto a Badha Jiva ainda esta a determinar a Rasa em que serve Krsna, Ele, Krsna sabe tudo. Ele sabe muito antes de nós em que Rasa vamos escolher servi-Lo :D
Existe aqueles que afirmam, os "fallvadis", que estávamos com Krsna, nos "rebelamos", sentimos "inveja" de Krsna e "caímos" neste mundo material e enquanto isto estamos a ter um "pesadelo" momentâneo e rápido em Goloka.
Naaaaa !!! :D
Também existe a explicação de que a Jiva condicionada (Badha Jiva) nunca esteve com Krsna (Y) Mas uma forma eterna "inactiva" (do nosso ponto de vista) relacionada com esta Badha Jiva, está presente no mundo espiritual.
"In the tenth section of the Priti-sandarbha, Jiva Gosvamin writes: “In the spiritual world, the Supreme Lord has unlimited spiritual forms, all are expansions of himself illuminating that world. With each one of those forms, the Lord enjoys pastimes with a single individual liberated soul.”409
These liberated souls therefore have spiritual bodies like that of the Lord.
In the Lord’s abode, there are an unlimited number of forms, all suitable for rendering service to him. Every one of those forms is non-different from him, being expanded from his effulgence; each one is eternal, full of consciousness and bliss. They are the crowning, central jewels of the spiritual world—its very life. These unlimited spiritual bodies are the perfected forms of the liberated souls which are awarded to an individual, according to his taste, when he reaches the state of absolute liberation. This state is called attainment of the spiritual body. All these spiritual bodies are eternal for they exist even before the liberated souls enter them and will continue to exist ever afterward. However, prior to the entry of the liberated soul they are in an from OUR PERSPECTIVE – inactive state.
So "inactive" from our point of view...
So that we can perfect our bhava and then BE these bodies.
"But what about in the meantime? What are these forms doing during the time of my perfection...until I AM THAT form?
There is no "meantime" in Goloka Vrindavana. It is an eternal place with eternal time and nothing is missing there.
To think that these spiritual forms are already there and, what are they doing in the “meantime”?…the mind bites its own tail…
THERE IS NO MEANTIME. There, in Goloka Vrindavana, is only NOW.
All is happening now."
