like a coconut

Imported quote 17182 Paras tasmat tu bhavo 'nyo 'vyakto 'vyaktat sanatanaḥ [Bg 10.8], you'll find in the Bhagavad-gita. There is another nature. This nature, what you see, the sky, a round dome, that, above that, there are layers of five elements again. This is the covering. Just like you have seen the coconut. There is hard covering, and within the covering there is water. Similarly, within this covering... And outside the covering there are five layers, thousand times bigger than the one another: water layer, air layer, fire layer. So you have to penetrate all these layers. Then you will get the spiritual world. All these universes, unlimited number, koti. Yasya prabha prabhavato jagad-anḍa-koti [Bs 5.40]. Jagad-anḍa means the universe. Koti, many millions clustered together, that is material world. And beyond that material world there is spiritual world, another sky. That is also sky. That is called paravyoma. So by your sense perception you cannot estimate even what is there in the moon planet or sun planet, this planet, within this universe. How you can understand the spiritual world by speculation? This is foolishness.
