Hare Krsna, Prabhus!           AgtSP       Paoho.      Tom Brown, MONKEY, here.    First a correction to the CC link. Should be http://vedabase.net/cc/madhya/10/65/en

Then we have nice letter from Gustavo: 

Maharaja! All glories to Srila Prabhupad and all Vaishnavas!
Well, it´s  so difficult to me, I can´t accept this point about the free will inclouding in the lilas..., but...I am a baddha jiva, I can´t understand or realize this topics so well. I think that the realy important thing is learning to serve to Lord Krishna and all devotees!
My work is very hard and I couldn´t go to the temple. So I hope you´ll be allright! Nice Journey!
 Maharaj, thanks for your answers!
I´m gonna write to you more frecuently!
Dandavats!!!!
HARE KRISHNA!!!

HpS - Yes, I looked at CC Adi Chapter Four and could not find anything that directly explains that because of our free will we can chose to serve Krsna in Ayodhya rather than Goloka. We are editing the Index citations we extracted from our Bhakti vaibhava readings on Origen of the Jiva right now. There were some good citations there.

They are mentioned in the first letter on this topic to Visnu-priya devi das.

Again, if anyone has the citation from Bhaktivinode Thakura about the Jiva coming from the "Tatasta sakti" we would like to see it.

It's O.K. with me if people have different ideas about these things. The only general principle seems to be that we are not forced to serve in Goloka, Ayidha, Vaikuntha or Devi dhama by the pleasure that receive form that, but rather it is a decision that is so fast, and so personal that nothing, not even Krsna, nor all the Gopis can touch, and that free-will that we have (from Krsna and the Gopis) is what makes us completely attractive to the All Attractive.
