Krishna comes to earth at regular intervals to protect His devotees, destroy demonic miscreants, and restore spirituality. During His stay in Vrindavana, a region of India and a replica of the kingdom of God, He developed sublime pastimes and took the opportunity to spread His sublime teachings. Krishna descended from His kingdom with His celestial entourage, including His first plenary emanation, Balarama, who there plays the role of elder brother.
Walking in the forest of Vrindavana and addressing his elder brother Balarama, Krishna said: Dear Brother, of all of us you are the foremost, and your lotus feet are the object of worship by the celestial beings. Look at these trees, rich in fruit, which have bent down to worship your lotus feet. It seems as if they are striving to pierce the darkness that compels them to take the form of trees. Indeed, the trees growing on the land of Vrindavana are not ordinary beings. Because in their previous lives they upheld the impersonal doctrine, now they have to undergo this frozen condition. But now they have the good fortune to see you in Vrindavana, and they pray to advance still further in the path of spiritual life through contact with you. Trees are generally counted among the beings bathed in the darkness of ignorance. The impersonalist philosophers also live in this darkness, but now those among them who have assumed the form of trees on this blessed earth are dispelling it, taking full advantage of your presence. Although they are trees and animals, these inhabitants of Vrindavana proclaim your glories. They hold ready their warmest welcome for you, as great souls do when receiving other great souls. As for the earth, how pious and fortunate must it be for your lotus feet to leave their mark on its body.
The impersonalist doctrine must be absolutely rejected, for it leads the incarnate soul to perdition and perpetual suffering.
As for the impersonalist, one who believes only in the impersonal spiritual aspect of God—that is, those who claim that God is solely an Eternal Spiritual Being, pure energy, and formless—although he also enters the spiritual world after abandoning his two material forms, that of gross matter and the ethereal, he cannot reside on a spiritual planet as he had wished, because due to his erroneous belief, he is given the opportunity to merge into the spiritual radiance emanating from the Lord's absolute body.
The impersonalist believer indeed reaches the destination he has prepared to reach. Thus, the light of the Impersonal Supreme Being, formed by the absolute radiance emanating from Krishna's body in His primordial, personal, original, infinite, and absolute form, is offered to the impersonalists, to those who believe only in the formless aspect of God.
Impersonalists, however, because they reject all contact with the Lord, do not obtain a spiritual body suitable for spiritual action, but remain mere spiritual sparks, which will merge into the dazzling radiance emanating from the Supreme Lord.
