Some time we hear– same people saying—“We not going to join any party we are neutral.” They can think that way, but truly speaking– they are so clever, so clever that we cannot explain. They want to proof that they are neutral, but this is quiet impossible and impractical. Those who are going to identify themselves as neutral personalities actually they are also going to maintain one party which is more dangerous. Too think that we are not a group, we are neutral, this is also creating one group. To stay neutral in this material world is quite impossible. For this reason we will have to understand jiva-tattva properly. What do you mean by ‘tatastha bhava’? It means a marginal line conceived between water and land—a demarcation line to identify respective position. We can imagine a tatastha line. It is just like ideal gas (in physics and chemistry we can find this conception of ideal gas conceived by scientists to solve same problems) which is practically not possible to get, we can only imagine, practically it is not possible to get. What we want to say is that—‘tatastha-bhava is one kind of nice philosophy to speak but practically jiva can either be in Maya or can do Hari-Guru-Vaishnav seva, and in between we can imagine one line.
