Here in the material world we are individual, and in spiritual world we are also individual. But what is the difference between material world and spiritual world? In the material world we are individual to serve my own senses. Therefore there is fight. Everyone is trying to satisfy his own senses. I am trying to satisfy my senses, you are trying… So there is clash. That is material world. And the spiritual world: when all of them agree to satisfy the senses of Krsna… There is like Vrndavana. What is Vrndavana? The devotees of Vrndavana, they are all individuals. The gopis are individual, the cowherd boys are individual, the calves are individual, the cows are individual. Everyone is individual. But the purpose is how to love Krsna. That is oneness. There is no disagreement in that purpose. The gopis are trying to satisfy Krsna, the cowherd boys are satisfying…, trying to satisfy Krsna, Mother Yasoda is trying to satisfy Krsna, Nanda Maharaja is trying to satisfy Krsna. The whole center is how to satisfy Krsna. That oneness is required. Not that I become one with Krsna. That is not possible.
