There, they get their first chance to experience the personal, direct company of the Lord. This “training” can be obtained in the Advents and Pastimes of Krishna on our planet. Thus, Krishna revealed Him to the inhabitants of Vrindavana, a region of India where Krishna appeared, and which is the true aspect of the spiritual planets, so that they could know their destiny. When Krishna unveils His sublime pastimes in some material galaxy, He is accompanied not only by His eternal companions, but also by those who have just been freed from material existence and are elevated to that level.
Beyond the material universe, in the spiritual “atmosphere,” all beings enjoy full knowledge. There, on the spiritual planets of the spiritual world, or on Krishnaloka, the supreme planet of Krishna, all without distinction are absorbed in devotional service to the Lord.
What is meant by being chained to material existence?
The energy God used to create the material universe is the origin of material nature. The latter is so powerful that it plunges man into forgetfulness of his past and his true identity from the moment of birth. Under the influence of the attributes of material nature, passion and ignorance, man believes himself to be the body.
The corporeal conception of existence is the fundamental cause of ignorance, which itself is the origin of atheism.
From then on, everything he associates with his body, his spouse, his children, his home, his material possessions, his wealth, his power, his opulence, and the pleasures of the senses, although fleeting and the cause of fear, illusion, sorrow, and distress, compels him to experience the four forms of suffering represented by birth, illness,
old age, and endless death, and to continually suffer the consequences of his actions through the suffering they entail.
Chainship to existence is all of this, and liberation is rejecting everything for God.
True nonviolence means never interrupting the spiritual evolution of any being, whether human, animal, or plant.
