nature; Virtue, passion, and ignorance shine through their absence; everything is eternal, full of bliss and knowledge. Everything has the gift of expressing oneself, of moving, of hearing, of seeing, and this, in an existence of eternal happiness. Under these conditions, naturally neither space nor time, in the form of the past, present, and future, have any influence on it: no change, therefore, in the spiritual world, since time There is no hold.
All around the spiritual world, Vaikuṇṭha, exists an infinite mass of water, unfathomable and limitless. The earth, water, fire, air and ether of Vaikuṇṭha are completely spiritual. On the spiritual planets Vaikunthas, earth, trees, fruits and flowers, as well as cows, everything is completely spiritual and personal. On our Earth, trees produce fruits and flowers according to the laws of material energy, but on the Vaikunthas planets, trees, earth, men, and animals are all purely spiritual; there is no difference between the tree and the animal, or between the animal and the man. Everything has a spiritual form. On the Vaikunthas planets, although everything is spiritual and absolute, everything also has a definite form. Trees and men have a form, and because all are spiritual in nature, there is no difference between them, even though they take on different appearances. The inhabitants, by their songs, praise eternally the qualities and acts of the Lord, which never assume a fatal character. Singing the glories of the Lord, they do not even care about the blooming, fragrant, nectar-laden flowers.
In truth, the spiritual planets Vaikunthas are full of riches. There are aircraft through which the people of Vaikuntha travel through the spirit world in the company of their beloved ones, and there breathes a wonderful breeze, carrying the scent of blooming flowers and their nectar. Nevertheless, the inhabitants of Vaikuntha have such a desire to praise the Lord that they do not appreciate the distraction created by this breeze as they sing its glories. In short, they are pure souls. They regard the glorification of the Lord as more important than their own sensory satisfaction. On the Vaikunthas planets, there can be no question of pleasure of the senses. To breathe the aroma of a blooming flower is certainly pleasant, but this action is only for personal satisfaction. The people of Vaikuntha always give preference to the service of the Lord. Serving the Lord in a sense of absolute love provides such pleasure that in comparison with it, sensory pleasures seem insipid. There is true freedom.
The most important thing about the spiritual world is that there is no desire to separate the pure souls who live there. This rule applies even to flowers, which all remain aware of the size of the tulasi. In the world of Vaikuntha, where the four Kumaras (the four wise Avatars) penetrated, even the birds and the flowers have their consciousness absorbed in the service of the Lord. The people of Vaikuntha travel in their aircraft made of lapis lazuli, emeralds and gold, where their companions with wide hips and wonderfully smiling faces crowd. But the joy and the angelic charms of these beauties can not incite them to passion. The companions of the inhabitants of Vaikuntha far outweigh any woman living in the material cosmos,
