Śrīla Prabhupāda explains that while both the Lord and the individual living entities are eternal and spiritual by nature, their positions are vastly different. The Lord is the infinite, supreme eternal who never accepts a temporary material body and who eternally maintains all others. The minute living entities are subordinate eternals who are prone to fall under the control of the material energy (māyā). True spiritual life begins when the conditioned soul stops identifying with the temporary material modes of nature and realizes its eternal relationship with the supreme eternal. By engaging in transcendental loving service, the minute eternal soul is reinstated in its natural, blissful position as an eternal servant of Lord Kṛṣṇa.
