The Spiritual World
Page 36 of 88

The people of Vaikuṇṭha have a shiny black-bluish complexion, much more fascinating and attractive than the dull white, black, yellow, red or mestizo skins of the material cosmos. Their bodies, of a spiritual nature, have no equivalent in this world. The radiant beauty of a cloud illuminated by lightning offers only a glimpse of their seduction. They usually wear yellow clothes, their delicate bodies have attractive shapes and their eyes are like lotus petals; Like Viṣṇu, the Lord, the beings who populate Vaikuṇṭha have four arms and they carry a conch, a wheel, a mass and a lotus. Their chest, wide, and beautifully adorned with necklaces made of a metal reminiscent of the diamond and enhanced with jewels such as we can never find in the material world. Residents of Vaikuṇṭha are rich in perpetual power and radiance. Some are carnations reminiscent of red coral, cat and lotus eyes; each of them wear ear ornaments all of precious stones. On their heads are placed tiaras of flowers in the form of garlands.

The presence of these goddesses of fortune and their companions always gives rise to a joyful atmosphere of transcendental celebration. Constantly singing the glories of the Lord, they never know silence. There are in the spiritual world an unlimited number of Vaikuṇṭha planets, which cover an area three times larger than that of the material cosmos.

In truth, the soul is a spiritual spark much brighter, radiant and powerful than the sun, moon or electricity. Man wastes his life if he did not realize that his true identity is spiritual. It was to save him from such "civilization" that Lord Krishna, Lord Chaitanya Mahāprabhu, and Lord Nityānanda appeared.

In the spiritual world there is a creative energy. This purely spiritual energy supports all the Vaikuṇṭha spiritual planets with all the perfections in their fullness, such as knowledge, wealth, valor, etc. All these actions of internal energy or purely spiritual energy reveal the powers of Krishna, the ultimate receptacle of all individual beings who suffer in the material world.
