entire galaxy for the sole purpose of facilitating the task of all those who have at heart to lead a life of purity and perfecting the realization of God.
God, the Supreme Person, is beyond the perception of our material senses. Our material eyes cannot see it, nor our material ears can hear it. We can perceive the Lord only to the extent that we devote ourselves to his service, or to the extent to which our lives are free from sinful activities.
