The names, form, qualities, activities and relationships of the spiritual world are ever-fresh and ever-free of the defects of birth, death, disease, and old age. Here the Lord displays His divine pastimes (lila) which overflood the spiritual world with the sweetest nectar, the very life and soul of the liberated devotees who dwell there. As a tree on the bank of a river is reflected upside-down in the water, so the material world is a reflection of the spiritual world. What is highest in the spiritual world is lowest here. The highest lila is Krsna's conjugal affairs with the gopis. That is reflected here as sex life, the most entangling activity for the embodied soul. See Krsna. Next: Sraddha-the ceremony of making offerings to one's ancestors to free them from suffering; firm faith and confidence.
