The Garbhodaka Ocean is located at the bottom of the galaxy. The infernal planets are therefore located between Patalaloka and the Garbhodaka Ocean.

The Garbhodaka Ocean occupies half of the galaxy; the other half corresponds to the spherical dome of space where the countless planetary systems evolve.

It is also specified in the Vedas that this description is that of a single egg-shaped galaxy. There are countless galaxies besides ours, some of which are infinitely larger. In fact, the galaxy we inhabit is said to be the smallest, which is why its ruler, Brahma, has only four heads to govern it. In other galaxies, whose dimensions far exceed ours, Brahma has more heads.

Such is the inconceivable power of the Lord. No one can appreciate the greatness of God through intellectual speculation or by making the gross error of identifying with Him. Such attempts are insane.

Time is a manifestation of Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, meant to remind us to surrender to Him. The Lord addresses every soul conditioned by matter in the form of time.

If we want to stop the action of time and the cycle of repeated birth and death, then let us surrender to God and serve Him with love and devotion. We will thus attain true freedom and return to Krishna, in His eternal and absolute kingdom.

What are the different causes of human error, perdition, and enslavement?

Here are the different causes of human error, perdition, and enslavement.

The four major causes are: ignorance, the false ego, and the mind that imprisons and enslaves human beings in matter.

Ignorance is the absence of data relating to God and existential truth.

The false ego is the force that chains the incarnate soul to material existence, which pushes the incarnate being to identify with their body and to seek to dominate matter.

Ignorance prevents human beings from acting correctly. It is also the cause of human error, blindness, perdition, violence, aggression, criminality, and atheism. The real culprit behind all this is ignorance.

The primary function of the false ego is to foster atheism. When a being forgets their natural position as a spiritual soul and seeks happiness outside their own being, they develop two broad attitudes: first, they devote themselves for a long time to self-interested action, in order to derive some personal benefit or seek to gratify their senses. Then, after exhausting themselves in vain and frustrated by this kind of pursuit, which leaves them unsatisfied, they take the path of philosophical speculation and come to believe themselves equal to God.
