    The cells in the body are cooperating so this whole unit can survive. If the cells start becoming independent by fighting with each other, then you will die. That is what cancer is. In a healthy body, cells are not independent and they are surrendered to the system. The same principle is everywhere. If you want to have a nice kirtan then everybody has to sing together. This universe has a rhythm and everything has a rhythm. Jiva Gosvami is trying to bring out this rhythm. That is his purpose.
