"As Śri Krisha, in Vraja, He brings into existence everything that is fully and wholly spiritual. In Vraja, expanded as Śri Balaräma, He generates the nitya-siddha-pärsadä, the eternally liberated associates and servitors, who execute the eight types of devotional service to Him as Śri Krsna in Vraja. In Vaikuntha, Śri Balaräma expands as Sankarsana, Ananta Śesa, to generate the nitya-siddha-pärsadä of Śri Näräyana who accomplish the eight kinds of service to Him as Śri Näräyana in Vaikuntha. Śri Sankarsana then further expands as Mahä Visnu to preside over the mäyä-śakti. Mahä Visnu generates the tatasthä-śakti-jivas, borderline potency souls, who are susceptible to the influence of mäyä, and further expands accepting the form of Paramätmä as the heart of the taöasthä-śakti-jivas. " “As long as these tatasthä-śakti-jivas generated by Mahä Visnu do not receive the shelter of the hlädini-śakti, which is bestowed by His mercy alone, they are always prone to be subjugated by mäyä. When captivated by mäyä, they are obedient to the dictates of tri-guna, the three modes of material nature. Hence, the conclusion is that the jiva-śakti gives birth to the jivas, the cit-śakti does not produce the jivas.”

"In Goloka Vrndävana, Śri Balaräma manifests unlimited nitya-pärsadäs, eternal associates, belonging to the jiva category for the service of Śri Krsna. Similarly, in Vaikuntha, Lord Sankarsana manifests unlimited nitya-pärsadäs also of the jiva category for the service of Śri Näräyana. These nitya-pärsadäs are eternally engaged in serving their object of worship, the Supreme Godhead, who is absorbed in rasa. They are eternally situated in their svarüpa, remain constantly engrossed in satisfying their beloved Lordship, and ever possess enthusiasm and affection for the Lord that never diminishes. They are forever extremely spiritually potent, being imbued with the cit-śakti of the Lord. They have no connection with mäyä—they are even unmindful of her existence. They are permanent residents of the spiritual world and are very far away from mäyä. They are fully absorbed in simply relishing the bliss of devotional service to their beloved Lord. Selfish material joys and sorrows are totally alien to these eternally liberated souls. Prema being their life and soul, they do not even know that lamentation, death or fear actually exist.“
"Also, countless, infinitesimal jivas emanate from Käranodakaśäyi Mahä Visnu, lying within the Causal Ocean, whose glance impregnates the mäyä-śakti. As these jivas are the neighbours of mäyä, they witness her variegatedness. The symptoms of the general mass of jivas as discussed earlier are also present in these jivas. However, because they are minuscule in size and situated at the margin, their constitutional nature is to look at both the material world and the spiritual sky. Their marginal condition makes them vulnerable because—up to this point of time—they have not been reinforced with cit-bala, the strength of spiritual potency, by the mercy of the Supreme Lord, their worshipable object. Those amongst them who desire to enjoy material nature become absorbed in matter and are thus eternally enthralled by her, while those endeavouring to serve the Divine Worshipable Object, upon receiving His mercy, are elevated to the spiritual world. ”
"Raghunätha däsa Bäbäji, “What you say is true. Krsna is karunamaya, but He is also lilämaya, dynamic and eternally engages in pastimes. With the view that the jiva could become an active partner for His various liläs, the Supreme Lord has made him versatile and capable of rising from his humble position as a marginal being to the soaring heights of mahä-bhäva, the highest spiritual consciousness, which is unlimited and transcendental. [...] The jivas who take this opportunity to elevate themselves gradually rise to the transcendental realm and acquire the same position as the nitya-pärsadäs."

"Therefore the Vedas reiterate that Bhagavän is the Lord of mäyä, and that the jiva is, in all situations, susceptible to the subjugation of mäyä being the tatasthä-śakti."

"“The prime cause for all karma is the desire to execute such karma. Avidyä, ignorance, is the root of this material desire and is defined as forgetfulness of the truth: ‘I am the eternal servitor of Śri Krsna.’ This avidyä did not suddenly sprout out within the time-span of the material universal creation—the seed of this root of karma originates in the matrix of the tatasthä position of the jiva at the juncture the material and spiritual creations. Since the source of karma is thus untraceable within the mundane time of material world, karma is said to be anädi.”

Jedynie jivy będące tatastha-śakti są podatne na wpływ mayi, ale nie nitya-parsadas, gdyż te nie pochodzą z tatastha-śakti.
W jaki sposób Kryszna zamanifestowałby cechę wspaniałomyślności i miłosierdzia w postaci Śri Ćaitanji Mahaprabhu i Śri Nityanandy Prabhu, gdyby nie wyemanował tatastha-śakti. Emanując pozostałe jivy: ze Śri Balaramy Prabhu i Sankarsany, może zamanifestować cechę słodyczy i majestatu. To wszystko ma swój cel.
Poza tym ciągle nie ma cytatu, o który prosiłem wyżej.
Charu Krishna das
