Vaikuntha, the influence of time no longer exists. In the material universe, this same influence destroys everything, but in the world of Vaikuntha, neither the influence of time nor that of the devas, the celestial beings, is felt, for there is no devas on The planets Vaikunthas. Here, all our activities are governed by the different devas; The mere fact of moving our hand or our leg is the power of this or that deva. But in the atmosphere of Vaikuntha, the influence of the devas and of the time shine through their absence; So there is never any question of destruction. As soon as the time element manifests itself, there is assurance of destruction, but in the absence of this element-perceptible in the form of the past, the present and the future-everything becomes eternal. The spiritual perfections of the bhakta will never be destroyed.

The Bhagavad-gita teaches us that, without even knowing the bhakta, the Lord makes sure that he is led into his absolute kingdom as soon as he has left his body.

Because He is all-powerful, the Lord is free to act as He pleases; He can forgive any fault and make a person instantly access Vaikunthaloka. Such is the inconceivable power of God, the Supreme Person, who always shows Himself favorable to His pure devotees.

The latter is thus the work of the Lord, as the Bhagavad-gita confirms (IX.10): "It is under My guidance that material nature begets all beings, mobile and immobile, cosmos".

The Moon manifested itself after the appearance of the mind, and this indicates that the Moon governs the mind. In the same way, Brahma, who appeared after the intelligence, represents the deva-master of the latter, and Siva, who appeared after the false ego, is the deva-master of it. In other words, the deva of the moon is placed under the sign of virtue, while Brahma is in passion and Siva in ignorance. The manifestation of consciousness after that of the false ego allows us to understand that from the beginning the material consciousness is under the influence of ignorance, and whoever desires to purify himself must first purify his consciousness. The Krsna Consciousness is the method by which this purification can be effected. As
