In the kingdom of God is found true sublime happiness
Krishna, God, the Supreme Person is the true source of happiness. Truly, Krishna, God, the Supreme Person being the source of all pleasure and the reservoir of all blessings, who dwells with Him enjoys deep, ineffable, perfect, unlimited, ceaseless, permanent and everlasting happiness. It can be said that true spiritualists, holy beings, and servants of God truly enjoy life. Their pleasure is limitless and constitutes true happiness, a happiness which is not material but spiritual. The pleasure that one derives from the spiritual life is all joy, in the image of Krishna Himself.
Krishna, God says: “He who reaches the spiritual level realizes at the same time Being Supreme, and therein finds infinite joy. He never grieves, he never longs for anything”.
True happiness does not exist in all the material cosmos, for it is a world of suffering. In the spiritual and absolute world, the beings who live there act only within the framework of the service of pure love and devotion which they offer to God, established as they are in the consciousness of Krishna or consciousness of God. Because God possesses absolute plenitude, the beings engaged in his service in turn find plenitude in themselves. Because they naturally think of Krishna, God, pure beings are always bathed in the most perfect joy.
Living beings regain their normal, happy condition only by contact with the internal energy of God.
The spiritual world is the real home of the embodied spiritual beings that we all are. This eternal spiritual world is called Vaikuntha and in Sanskrit it means “the world without anxiety”. Everything there is effulgent (radiant) and filled with consciousness and bliss. The dimension of Vaikuntha, the spiritual world, is inconceivable, because in reality it is unlimited. When the virtuous being, the great soul, enters the kingdom of God, he immediately feels himself swimming in the ocean of spiritual bliss, plunging and then rising to the surface of the sublime ocean in an uninterrupted movement. He is overcome with a pure feeling of love and unparalleled joy. God is its source, and by his energy of bliss, distributes it to all. Such is true sublime happiness. It is in the kingdom of God that there is peace, fullness, true eternal life, true perfect happiness, and real freedom.
