Jīva Can NEVER Become Kṛṣṇa - Part 2


Bhagavad-gītā 15.7


mamaivāṁśo jīva-loke

jīva-bhūtaḥ sanātanaḥ




Translation:

“The living entities are My eternal fragmental parts.”


Key:

Aṁśa (part) ≠ Aṁśī (whole)


Sanātanaḥ = eternally a part

A part never becomes the whole



Bhagavad-gītā 2.12

(Eternal Individuality)


na tv evāhaṁ jātu nāsaṁ

na tvaṁ neme janādhipāḥ

na caiva na bhaviṣyāmaḥ

sarve vayam ataḥ param




Translation:

“Never was there a time when I did not exist, nor you, nor all these kings; nor shall any of us cease to exist in the future.”


Key:

“I”, “you”, “they” → eternal distinction

No identity-merging even after liberation




Śvetāśvatara Upaniṣad 6.8

(Absolute Knock-out)


na tasya kāryaṁ karaṇaṁ ca vidyate

na tat-samaś cābhyadhikaś ca dṛśyate


Translation:

“He has no duties or instruments. No one is equal to Him or greater than Him.”


Key:

If jīva could become Kṛṣṇa, this verse becomes false


Kaṭha Upaniṣad 2.2.13

(One Supreme Among Many)


nityo nityānāṁ cetanaś cetanānām

eko bahūnāṁ yo vidadhāti kāmān


Translation:

“Among all eternal beings, there is one Supreme Eternal who maintains the many.”


Key:

ONE controller, MANY dependents

Maintained can never become the Maintainer



Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 1.2.11

(Structure of Absolute Truth)


vadanti tat tattva-vidas tattvaṁ yaj jñānam advayam

brahmeti paramātmeti bhagavān iti śabdyate


Translation:

“The Absolute Truth is realized as Brahman, Paramātmā, and Bhagavān.”


Key:

Bhagavān is supreme completeness


Jīva may realize Brahman

Jīva never becomes Bhagavān



Caitanya-caritāmṛta Madhya 20.108

(Final Verdict)


jīvera svarūpa haya — kṛṣṇera nitya-dāsa



Translation:

“The constitutional nature of the jīva is to be the eternal servant of Kṛṣṇa.”


Key:

Svarūpa = eternal identity

Servant can never become Master


Vedānta-sūtra 2.3.20

(Size Difference — Eternal)


aṇutvāc ca


Translation:

“The jīva is atomic (infinitesimal).”


Key

Jīva = aṇu


Kṛṣṇa = vibhu (infinite)

Aṇu never becomes Vibhu



Vedānta-sūtra 4.4.17

(No God-powers Even After Liberation)


jagad-vyāpāra-varjam


Translation:

“The liberated soul does not engage in the creation, maintenance, or destruction of the universe.”


Debate Key:

Liberation ≠ Godhood


Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 10.87.30

(Upaniṣads Glorify Difference)


naivātmano bhagavato ’sti bhedaḥ

jīvasya tu bheda-darśanam


Translation:

“The Supreme Lord has no difference within Himself, but the jīva is always distinct.”


Debate Key:

Difference is eternal, not illusion



Authoritative Conclusion


“The living entity can never become God — neither in conditioned life nor in liberation.”

(BG 2.12 Purport)



ONE-LINE DEBATE KILL-SHOT


An eternal part can never become the eternal whole.

This article clearly states the difference between soul and supersoul. Such a wonderful article backed by shastras. Modern teachers teach Mayavada in the name of pure devotion without any shastric backing whatsoever. Thankyou for giving us these wonderful references and teaching us Gurudev. Jai Srila Prabhupada 🙏🏻
