The Spiritual World

Entertainment are no different from his own Person. The same is true of the spiritual planets of the kingdom of God. There, there is no difference between the body and the soul. Moreover, time does not exert its influence as in the material cosmos, and because of this, the planets, because they are spiritual, are never destroyed. The spiritual variety that reigns there, too, is only one with the Lord.

In the spiritual world there is a transcendental variety. There, each of the denatured forms visible in the material variety is represented in a complete way, in its original spiritual identity. While the material action is defiled by the material influence of the gunas, the attributes of the material nature, the energies of the spiritual world retain an integral purity because they are engaged in the service of pure and absolute love offered to the Lord. What makes the difference. In the spiritual world, the Lord is the sublime beneficiary of all things and all beings are busy serving Him with love, without ever being touched by the material defilement of the gunas. The activities of the spiritual world escape all the imperfections of the material world.

Beyond the manifested and unmanifest existence of material nature is the spiritual world. This nature having a purely spiritual character, there is no qualitative difference; everything is spiritual, perfect, and participates in the spiritual form of Krishna, God, the Supreme Person. This spiritual world, manifestation of the inner power of Lord Krishna, differs entirely from the material world, manifested by its external energy. We can get an idea of ​​the spiritual heaven by comparing it to the material heaven, where the rays of the sun could be compared to the radiance that emanates from the transcendental body of Krishna, the radiating rays of God. In this radiance float innumerable spiritual planets called Vaikuṇṭha, all spiritual and therefore source of their own light, radiance that surpasses much of that of the sun. The Supreme Lord Krishna, his innumerable plenary emanations and their emanations reign on every planet Vaikuṇṭha. In the highest region of the spiritual heaven is the planet known as Kṛiṣhṇaloka.
