And here, to top it off, are Dasa Upanishadic verses calling Brahman Purusha and aferming that the Jnani becomes Brahman:

yatha nadyah syandamanah samudre'stam gacchanti namarupe vihaya. tatha vidvannamarupadvimuktah paratparam purushamupaiti divyam //3.2.8//

sa yo ha vai tatparamam brahma veda brahmaiva bhavati ..............//3.2.9//

"As the rivers flow into the ocean giving up their names and apearances; So the knower, freed from name and appearance, reaches the heavenly Person, beyond the very highest.

When a man comes to know that highest Brahman, he himself becomes that very Brahman..........."

~Mundaka Upanishad 3.2.8-9

Aum! Shanti!

"the Supreme Brahman, the self-glowing Person is trancendental to personal or impersonal. "

That may be your belief, but from where I sit you insist on defining terms to suit your belief. Devotees see that there is such a thing as a transcendental personality. Krsna is transcendental to all material traits, such as being temporary and being under the laws of karma. To say that Krsna is a person does not bring Him in to the material sphere. That is your projection. Another point of view is that Krsna is a person on the spiritual platform. That His body is totally spiritual. That His birth is totally spiritual. That His activities are totally spiritual. That is the version of the Bhagavad Gita.

And Krsna is also different from the living entity. Krsna says He is the source of all spiritual and material worlds. (10.8)

He also says that the living entities are under the control of material nature. Prakrti sthani karshati (BG 15.7) We are the eternal parts and parcels of Krsna Mama eva AMSA Amsa means part. The jiva is a part of Krsna. That is what Krsna says. The jiva is not equal to Krsna is quantity. It is equal in quality. It is made up of the same spiritual substance. But it is not equal in quantity. The jiva is a drop and Krsna is the whole ocean. The jiva is the particle of light and Krsna is the totality of light.. The jiva and Krsna will never be totally equal.

So you have every right to believe whatever you want to believe. But it is not what Krsna says in the Bhagavad Gita.

If you try to present the idea that the living entity is equal to Krsna in all respects that idea is not in harmony with what Krsna Himself says in the Bhagavad Gita.

Yuo don't have to repeat verses. I said to please not give me more to respond to untill I can get to you back log of verses you interpret to support your veiw.

Okay for 4.9 read back just a few verses:

ajo 'pi sann avyayātmā bhūtānām īśvaro 'pi san /
prakṛtiṃ svām adhiṣṭhāya saṃbhavāmy ātmamāyayā // 4.6 //

"Though I am unborn, of imperishable nature, and though I am the Lord of all beings,
yet, governing My own Nature, I am born by My own Maya."

~B.G. 4.6

This is the nature of the Supreme Lord, unborn, the birth of the body that is accociated with Krishna the Yadava (as I've already shown the Lord talking as a third person to) is Maya just like all other births and deaths.

avyaktaṃ vyaktim āpannaṃ manyante mām abuddhayaḥ /
paraṃ bhāvam ajānanto mamāvyayam anuttamam // 7.24 //

nāhaṃ prakāśaḥ sarvasya yogamāyāsamāvṛtaḥ /
mūḍho 'yaṃ nābhijānāti loko mām ajam avyayam // 7.25 //

"I am formless, but the foolish think I ahve form.
They do not understand my real nature.

I am covered by my Maya, and all do not see me.
I am birthless and deathless. This world of illusion does not understand me."

~B.G. 7.24,25

It's nice that Suta Gosvami says that, but the verse he is commenting on just says that Truth is known by three names, this in no way means that it's three features, and we already have been through that one so it's pointless to rehash. Anyway a guadyia's comentary supports the guadiya veiw, wow! So it means nothing to those who don't beleive in his authority and those whom it does matter to already accept this. So why post it?

Yes meditae on the Supreme Brahman or Krishna's pastimes and form or Rama's or Skanda's or Kali's or Shiva's or Ganrsha's or Lalita's or Suray's...... BUT THE VERSE YOU QUOTED TO TRY AND RATIONALIZE YOU BELEIF IN THE SUPREMECY OF KRISHNA OVER BRAMAN WAS NOT TALKING ABOUT KRISHNAS FORM AND PASTIMES! And that's all my comment was about. I have never said it's not fine to meditate on the divine lila of the Supreme Lords Maya.

And back to the point, Brahman of the Upanishads is the same as the Guadiya Krishna, as far as being the Supreme Lord. I've shown it with the shastras and no matter how you misquote or try to steer the subject off coarse with objections to your misgivings about the Upanishadic Brahman will not change this.

I can't back all of this up with sastra, but here's my understanding: Brahma is Krsna, straight up, but he is not cutting edge Krsna lila. Time is a gross misconception, but in the "time" that Krsna is Brahma, he is without sakti. He couldn't do much besides float in bliss. Oneness is abandoned because it is without lila. When Krsna and Srimati Radhika separated themselves for the sake of pastimes, they moved beyond Brahma. There is so much truth in all of these things because they are all Krsna. When it's a matter of wanting to serve Krsna, we have to try and appeal to him and his current interests. Or we can pray to Brahma for liberation.
