The path to the spiritual world.

The pure soul, devoid of fear, aboard the golden spiritual vessel piloted by the companions of the Lord who came to fetch him, thus passes through each layer of the material cosmos to finally reach the absolute atmosphere where everything participates in the same spiritual identity, the spiritual world.

From there, it reaches one of the spiritual planets, where it assumes a form identical in every way to that of the Lord, and engages in absolute loving service. This is the highest devotional perfection, beyond which the pure soul has nothing more to desire or attain.

The Lord is the completed form of knowledge, bliss and eternity. The spiritual planets are also forms of knowledge, bliss, and eternity, and holy beings admitted into the kingdom of God each obtain there a body of knowledge, bliss, and eternity.

Thus these various spiritual elements are in no way distinguishable. The dwelling, the Name, the Fame, the Surroundings, etc., of the Lord all participate in the same spiritual and absolute nature.

The pure soul which has completed its existence in the material universe and which enters the spiritual kingdom of God, is welcomed with joy, with immense enthusiasm. The great pure souls who live there show him, with jubilation, their emotions, and pay homage to him for his magnificent decision to return to their original home, in order to serve Krishna, God, the Supreme Person with love and devotion for eternity.
