The devotee need only listen to what pertains to devotional activities, which are just as simple as those of everyday life, and he too lives in complete simplicity.

The theorist, on the other hand, must engage in a veritable juggling of words, half truth, half pretense, designed to sustain his artificial impersonal conception. Despite their strenuous efforts to acquire perfect knowledge, impersonalists only succeed in merging into the impersonal unity of divine radiance, attained even by the Lord's enemies, merely by being killed by Him.

Devotees, on the other hand, reach the pinnacle of knowledge and renunciation and reach the planets of the spiritual world. While impersonalists reach only the space where these planets float, and therefore achieve no tangible spiritual happiness, devotees reach the planets of the spiritual world, where true spiritual existence prevails. By their earnestness, the devotee rejects all material success as mere dust, accepting only devotional service, the pinnacle of spiritual realization.

What is the difference between celestial beings and ordinary beings?

Celestial beings, like all other living beings, are integral parts of the Supreme Lord, Krishna, distinct from Him. When ordinary beings enrich themselves with acts of piety through the practice of devotional service to the Lord and their desire to dominate material energy vanishes, they are promoted to the position of celestial being and entrusted by the Lord to participate in the administration of the universal order. This, then, is what distinguishes celestial beings from ordinary beings.

What are the bounties that the Lord bestows?

To those who practice austerity, meditation, or God consciousness, Lord Krishna bestows bounties.

Freedom from all fears.

When one obtains the Lord's bounties, all suffering disappears. One who establishes himself on the spiritual plane is indeed freed from the two sources of material suffering: desires and affliction.

When one truly begins one's devotional life, one can obtain the perfect fruit of love for Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, and love for Krishna is the highest perfection of divine mercy. This spiritual blessing is of such value that no form of material happiness can be compared to it. Indeed, there is no comparison between material enjoyment and spiritual happiness, which is incessant and eternal.

What is the secret of success?

The simplest path to attaining spiritual perfection.
