The pure love inherent in the absolute plane is the model of purity, i.e. free from material affection and entirely spiritual. Affection for matter is ephemeral, as evidenced by the sexual vicissitudes of the material world, which are conspicuous by their absence in the spiritual world. The hindrances to the satisfaction of the senses are the cause of material distress, which cannot be compared with spiritual separation, where there are neither the failings nor the vicissitudes inherent in matter.

This is the highest level of spiritual reciprocity of love.

In truth, spiritual sexuality expresses itself in two ways, either in perfect accord with the constitutional nature of the self, or rather object-oriented.

When one knows the truth about the real nature of existence without being entirely free from material defilement, despite some understanding of spirituality, one cannot fully establish oneself in the absolute abode of Vrindavana. On the other hand, once one becomes free from the sexual urges inherent in the material body, one actually attains the supreme abode of Vrindavana.

Since devotees have different abilities, they exchange different love relations with Krishna. However, all forms of relationship with the Absolute (Krishna) are equal, since the Lord is the centre. One can establish different relationships with Krishna, and whoever is attracted to the Lord under the sign of a particular feeling, is glorified.

Goddess Radharani and her friends have no desire to indulge their senses. Their only desire is to satisfy Krishna. Affection for Krishna is spontaneous love. Different varieties of personal devotees of Krishna populate the realm of transcendence. They serve Him according to their respective spiritual state of mind.

Anyone who wishes to enter Krishna's supreme abode can take refuge in one of these spiritual servants and then practice loving service in such a way as to attain the highest heights of affection for Krishna. In other words, the devotee who, in the material world, practices love service in accordance with the activities of Krishna's eternal companions, will attain the same position as them when he becomes perfect.

That is why the sages also aspire to the position of the gopis and follow in their footsteps, in order to attain the sovereign goal of existence. The purified soul is therefore fit to serve the Supreme Lord. No one can serve Lord Krishna in the midst of his surroundings unless he is established in his pure spiritual identity, entirely free from all material defilements.

A person tainted by matter will transmigrate (reincarnate) into another material body because of his material consciousness. Inhabited by material thoughts at the time of his death, he will be transferred to another material body.

In the same vein, when one establishes oneself in one's purely spiritual identity and meditates on the service of absolute love offered to the Supreme Lord, one is promoted to the spiritual realm to live in the company of Krishna. In other words, by thinking of Krishna and His companions in full awareness of one's spiritual identity, one qualifies to enter the spiritual realm. No one can contemplate or contemplate the activities of the spiritual world without being established in his pure spiritual identity. Unless one achieves this, one can neither be part of the entourage of the gopis, nor can one directly serve Krishna, the Divine Person, and his eternal companion, Radharani.

The best occupation is that which satisfies God, the Supreme Person, and the best education is in the science of knowledge, which enables us to become fully established in Krishna consciousness.
