Only by the unintelligent is it seen this way.

Quote: “I know that Vasudeva is another name for KRSNA. that's what I told Vyasadeva at the beginning of this thread (in so little words).”
Ok.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Quote: “you said that Vasudeva was Krsnas Earthly father. where in the vedas does it say Vasudeva was on earth in material form?”
There is no reference to Krsna’s earth father not having a material body. Everything that is described of him pertains to him being materially conditioned. So it can be understood by default that Vasudeva had a material body. You would have nothing to back up believing otherwise.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Quote: “also the absolute is NOT limited from being limited. metrics is the evidence of this.”
The material energy has its origin and is overall sustained by Krnsa Himself. Now, just because Krsna personally descends upon the material world does not mean He is covered by it. And Him not being covered by matter does not conclude Him being limited. Matter is His constituent, not the other way around.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Quote: “if the absolute is all things what is NOT the absolute?”
Quality versus quantity. We’ve discussed this. Because you are part and parcel of the absolute you are similar in quality but obviously not in quantity. And because your quantity is so miniscule and that you are covered by material conditions you are prone to forget your constitutional position as a spirit-soul serving the supreme.

Quote: “if a father is not the cause of his son how is a son caused?”
Well, since a father really only has some control over the begetting of the material body, and because Krsna has not a material body… Figure it out.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Quote: “what living thing is NOT caused by material birth”
That which does not have a material body.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Quote: “I thought you said that Krsna WAS NOT material or born into it?”
He is not material. He was not born with a material body, although He did appear in the material world. I never said He was not born into the material world. I said He was not born materially, therefore He has not a material body.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Quote: “so youre saying krsna was BORN with a spiritual body through spiritual beings? the same rules apply born is born.”
Krsna appeared with His purely spiritual body uncontaminated by the material energy. Whereas Vasudeva and Devaki, being spiritual beings also, do have material bodies. Krsna paced Himself into a position that appeared subordinate to His parents because He does such things for His devotees. As a child, Krsna would accept the scolding of His mother because He has a very special communion with His devotees. It may appear that Krsna is subordinate in these cases, but the intelligent understand it is by His mercy that He places Himself into these positions.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Quote: “but I thought you said that Krsna WAS born material?”
You thought wrong.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Quote: “so krsna is limited i.e. temporary, and is a PERSONAL MANIFESTATION. that means he is not ABSOLUTE”
No, it is you who believes that Krsna is a temporary manifestation of the impersonal absolute. I am stating that the impersonal conception of the absolute comes from Krsna, not the other way around.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Quote: “if the Absolute is a deity then the absolute is not absolute.”
This does not follow. If all things come from this deity then it concludes that He is the absolute. Stop trying to bound the concept of Krsna by putting your materially contaminated self into His position. Understand that, as a person, Krsna, the supreme, is not limited in the ways you or I are.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Quote: “finally you've answer my question subordinate and i will disagree
everything is "in ordinance" nothing can be actually subordinate to the absolute when all things are a part of it. everything happens in ordinance to the destination of the absolute when you look at everything being part of the absolute. but it is seen as subordinate when you look at it as a constituent metric.”
Once again, quality versus quantity. Ignorance is part of the absolute then and we portray that ignorance, whereas Krsna is all knowing, He is not contaminated by this ignorance. Thus we are subordinate to Him.

Quote: “when you look at a car driving you make no distinction of whats in it that actually is the car. therefore even though you can remove its constituencies and it still remains a car as long as it has constituencies it is what it is. just as the the absolute is what it is. but the difference is that the shard is an inseperable piece of the absolute. but it is called shard because of metrics.”
The shard forgets and is prone to fall down. Compare that to Krsna who does not forget or fall down. Also, if any constituency of the car decides not to serve its function to the whole it makes no progress. The difference in analogy though is that Krsna is not dependent on the parcel living entities. Rather, we are dependent on Him and when we forget our relationship with Him we suffer. Another analogy here is that of the hand deciding to keep food for itself instead of putting it in the mouth to feed the stomach. When it does this the hand only suffers from lack of nourishment to the body. We are likened to this when we selfishly do things purely for our own gratification. It should be known that we are neither the creators nor enjoyers of what we do. You are correct that the shard spirit-soul is an inseparable piece of the absolute, but even in a higher spiritual sense there is discrimination between the individual soul and the supreme soul. They are one in communion but they will never be one in quantity.

Quote: “THINK. if Vasudeva and Devaki are spiritual entities and Krsna by your words is a "purely spiritual" entity you are saying that krsna before Vasudeva and Devaki existed created them so that he could be born to them. are you saying Krsna desired to be a son of his creation? if krsna is omnipotent what is the purpose of him becoming a child??? is it because he is a "temporary manifestaion" of the absolute?”
Krsna descended to correct irreligious ways. He put Himself into the position of a son for His pure devotees. This kind of communion will not be understood by impersonalists. Just because Krsna is omnipotent does not mean He cannot show mercy. His mercy for His devotees is immeasurable. His mercy for His non-devotees is immeasurable. Both ways, everyone receives exactly what he or she requires to reach Krsna, the supreme personality of Godhead.
