CIVILIZATION AND TRANSCEDENCE Ch - 11

The living being and the Supreme Lord, are not absolute one because:

• Lord is eternal, we are not

• Lord has a form, we don't

• Lord possesses all 6 opulences in full

• Lord has knowledge, we don’t

The correct relation between the Lord and the jiva is that :

• We are a person, but Lord is chief among all people

• We are a person, Lord is also like us

• We are a person, Lord is not

• Jiva after Moksa, becomes Lord

Lord Chaitanya taught, 'acintya-bhedabheda' philosophy which is:

• We and the Lord are same

• We and the Lord are same qualititively but different quantitively

• We and the Lord are different qualititively but same quantitively

• We are same but the Lord is special

The cowherd boys are able to play with Krsna on an equal platform as:

• They are strong as Krsna

• They were the lucky souls

• They are expansions of Krsna

• They have attained this position after many lifetime of pious activity

Goloka is a place where essentially :

• There is no death

• The atmosphere is always pleasant

• Everyone enjoys

• Everyone loves Krishna

Residents of Goloka don’t know that Krsna is God because:

• They have emotional love for him

• There is actually no difference in their position after liberation

• They know but pretend not to

• Love for Krsna predominates

The speciality of Vrindavana over other Vaikuntha planets is:

• There is intense natural love for Krsna

• There is reverential worship of Krishna

• Krsna is in centre

• Lord is present as a person

Lord Krishna can be controlled by:

• Mystic Siddhis

• Penance of a jiva

• Renunciation and austerity of a jiva

• Love of a jiva

The transcendental loving relations which are not explainable by other vaisnava sampradayas, but is explained by Lord Chaitanya are:

• Dasya and Vatsalya rasa

• Madhurya and Vatsalya rasa

• Sakhya and Dasya rasa

• Santa and Sakhya rasa

The 'achintya-bhedabheda' philosophy of Lord Chaitanya is based on teachings of Bhagavad Gita that:

• The living being is eternally one with Krsna

• The living being is eternally an integral part of Krsna

• The living being is eternally part and parcel of Krsna

• The living being is eternally different in constitution from Krsna
