The Spiritual World
Page 9 of 88

"Whenever and wherever there the universe, spirituality is a decline, and amounted irreligion, O descendant of Bharata, I descend Myself."

"I appear from age to age to deliver My devotees, annihilate the miscreants, to reestablish the principles of spirituality."

"If I refrained me to act, all the world would sink into
desolation; for My sake, the man would cause unwanted offspring. So I troublerais peace to all beings."

"Whatever a great man, the mass of people walking
always in his footsteps; the world follows the standard it sets
by his example."

These statements of the Lord apply to different plenary expansions of His person, such Sankarsana, Vasudeva, Pradyumna, Aniruddha and Narayana. They are all, Himself, in various spiritual and absolute forms. However, Sri Krsna, the Lord in His primordial form, Engages eternally sublime exchanges with various degrees of devotees and it appears in this form once a day of Brahma (ie every 8 billion 640 million – 8,640,000,000 - solar years), within each physical universe, where He reveals His spiritual and transcendental pastimes in an endless cycle. Roles borrows the Lord, sometimes as Lord Krsna, sometimes as Vasudeva, and so on, are too complex in their sequence to be understood by the common man. For if there is no difference between the person of the Lord and His spiritual Body, His expansions nonetheless have different functions. And when the Lord appears in His original form as Krsna, all His plenary portions join in Him by His inconceivable power yogamaya; thus, the Krishna of Vrndavana differs from Mathura and Dvaraka.

Similarly, virata-rupa of Krsna, which represents the hardware design of His form, and that He appeared on the Battlefield of Kuruksetra, differs by His inconceivable power, in His own Person. The Lord is kaivalya there is for Him no difference between material and spiritual, because both are created by Him. The fact of His inconceivable power, all His activities are both identical and distinct. Contrary to the belief weakened minds, the Lord never leaves His spiritual Body.

Beyond the universe and the seven layers of material that cover it, quite beyond our vision, is the Causal Ocean in which all universes are floating, like ovoid balls. Then, beyond the Causal Ocean, lies the limitless expanse of the spiritual world, generally known as the Brahman effulgence. Now, in this light bathed innumerable spiritual planets, known to Vaikunthalokas which each exceeds in size, and by far the largest material universe. On each live countless beings in the exact image of Lord Visnu, called direct servants of the Lord. They live happily on these planets, far from suffering, and in perpetual youth, enjoying a life of bliss and knowledge perfect, without fearing anything birth, disease, old age and death, or influence of eternal time . This world, Vaikuṇṭha, is well beyond the material universe. The material universe is placed under the jurisdiction of Durga Devi, which embodies the material energy of the Lord, as the world of Vaikuṇṭha, it is governed by the personal energy of the Lord.

There, in the material cosmos, universe populated myriads of an infinite number of planets, but all without exception are places of suffering where it undergoes birth, disease, old age and death, evil inherent in this material world. True happiness lies rather in God's kingdom where no one suffers the pangs of material existence. No material planet is eternal and it is the same for the living conditions they offer. We must therefore feel a deep disgust for these fleeting pleasures.
