The kingdom of God is spiritual and absolute. In the Absolute Kingdom, the Lord and His Eternal Servants all possess auspicious, infallible, spiritual, and everlasting youthful character forms. In short, there is no birth, no old age, no disease, no death. This eternal land, rich in spiritual pleasures, conceals beauty and bliss.

Master of immortality and therefore Immortal Himself, Krishna, the Supreme Lord can confer this quality on his devotees. Also, those who reach his immortal abode will never have to return to this material world where death and suffering reign. This suffering is conspicuous by its absence in the eternal kingdom of God, forever free from the influence of eternal time, and therefore from all fear. True happiness is inherent in the spiritual world. The absolute realm is by nature saturated with happiness, with ever-increasing happiness by the force of ever-renewed appreciation. There, bliss never dulls.

Logos 390

The purification of existence.

The Supreme Lord says: Abandon yourself to Me, and I will take you under My protection.

Happy are those who surrender themselves to Krishna, God, the Supreme Person, and serve him with love and devotion, for they will be imbued with the true knowledge which will enable them to realize that depending on the Lord's mercy is a freedom greater still than that which one believes to enjoy at home.

No one should adopt the order of renouncing material existence if he does not have the firm conviction of being protected by the Lord. In reality, every being is totally dependent on the mercy of the Lord, but unless he is established at the level of purity, no one can experience this state. Such dependence is called “purification of existence”, and the result of this purification manifests itself in the absence of fear. Thus, a devotee of the Lord never feels any fear, for he always remains aware that the Lord protects him in all circumstances.

In truth, the Lord is the source of misguidance for materialist atheists, but his devotees can see him unceasingly thanks to the devotional service which they offer him permanently. Anyone who knows that God is Absolute in every respect can become a devotee of the Lord, and at the same time be freed from the consequences of their past acts.
