So why, if they have gone to the spiritual world and stays in the Brahman effulgence, and still they are maninaḥ, not certain? Yes. Why? Because they cannot stay there. This is very logical argument and statement of the Vedic literature. Aruhya krcchrena param padam tataḥ patanty adhaḥ [SB 10.2.32]. They fall down because they do not get ananda. Spiritual effulgence is simply eternity. So suppose if you live eternally without any ananda, how long you will like to live like that? Is it possible? That you cannot do. Suppose somebody lives eternally in the sky without any death. Rather, he will try to commit suicide. It is not possible. It is not possible. Just like we have got experience: if you remain for very long time-I have got experience-in the sea or in the air, you feel very uncomfortable. You want to land down, land down, another air station, another port, and feel very uncomfortable. The airplane men, they come down and they take rest on the ground. It is not our nature, because it is impersonal. In the air there is no variety, simply air. Similarly, in the sea there is no variety, simply water. So it becomes suffocating. Similarly, those who are aspiring to go to the Brahman effulgence... Brahman effulgence is spiritual world, certainly, but there is no variety. There is no Krsna's enjoying with the cowherds boys or Srimati Radharani. You cannot find there. You simply remain in the Brahman effulgence. (More...)
