Bhagavad-gita As It Is Lectures

Because we are living entities, we, everyone, we want to enjoy. Therefore, "Variety is the mother of enjoyment." You cannot make everything impersonal. No. There is varieties. Even in the spiritual world there is varieties. That varieties are reflected in this material world. Therefore here also, we love somebody as friend, we love somebody as wife, we love somebody as father, we love somebody as mother, like that. The same thing is pervertedly reflected. And because it is illusion, therefore you are not satisfied. If you want real love, real position, then you have to transfer your these loving propensities in five different kinds of mellows to Kṛṣṇa. Then it will be permanent, and you'll be happy.

When we do not like to obey Kṛṣṇa, we cannot live in the spiritual world. In the spiritual world there is no such thing, disobedience. There is always . . . they are all devotees. Just like in Vṛndāvana, they are all devotees of Kṛṣṇa. Somebody is serving Kṛṣṇa as father and mother, Nanda Mahārāja, Yaśodā, and somebody is serving as friend, somebody is serving as servant, somebody is serving as conjugal lover. In this way there are five different kinds of service, mellows, whatever you like. Everybody is not like . . . there is taste: "I like to serve Kṛṣṇa as a conjugal lover." "I like to love Kṛṣṇa as my son." "I like to love Kṛṣṇa as my friend." "I like to love Kṛṣṇa as my master." "I simply love Kṛṣṇa by glorifying Him." These are pañca, five kinds of rasas: śānta, dāsya, sākhya, vātsalya, mādhurya.

So you can select any one of them, because there must be varieties. Because we are living entities, we, everyone, we want to enjoy. Therefore, "Variety is the mother of enjoyment." You cannot make everything impersonal. No. There is varieties. Even in the spiritual world there is varieties. That varieties are reflected in this material world. Therefore here also, we love somebody as friend, we love somebody as wife, we love somebody as father, we love somebody as mother, like that. The same thing is pervertedly reflected. And because it is illusion, therefore you are not satisfied. If you want real love, real position, then you have to transfer your these loving propensities in five different kinds of mellows to Kṛṣṇa. Then it will be permanent, and you'll be happy.
