we can act entirely according to our desire there is no nature that controls us in the spiritual world everything is orchestrated for Krishna’s pleasure and it gives Krishna pleasure to have different devotees serving him in different ways so Radhanani serves him vertically Nanda Maharaj serves him in another way Shri Rama Shri Ramayana serve him in different ways when we say the material world is a reflection of the spiritual world what does it mean? it means whatever is present here will be present in the spiritual world in its pure and potent form and that means that actually the spiritual world is a it also has variety it also has individuality so it’s not that Nanda Maharaj will serve the way Shri Rama is serving it’s that in the spiritual world our desires are in harmony with our nature and both are for Krishna’s pleasure that doesn’t mean the gopis will want to serve like the gopas no for them it’s fully accepted that this is Krishna as my lord and this is what I am this is how I am going to serve Krishna and they are fully satisfied ecstatically fulfilled in the way they are serving Krishna that is the speciality of the spiritual world so we see that in the spiritual world there are kalpatarus there are desire-fulfilling trees but practically never in the past in Krishna India do we see say the gopis want to say Radharani Aishwarya Mai she wants to offer some food to Krishna they say oh Kalpataru produce this give it to Krishna she cooks for Krishna why? because in that endeavour to cook there is absorption, there is delight there is a joy of offering one’s own heart and one’s own efforts to Krishna so there is no one’s desire desire and one’s nature are harmonised and although the facilities may be there to do other things like Kalpataru is there to fulfil the desires but the devotee don’t desire the devotee simply desires to serve Krishna
