Dear friend, I, the Supreme Soul, and you, the separate soul, do not differ from each other, at least in quality, for we are both spiritual in nature. Truly speaking, my friend, by your very constitution, you are qualitatively identical with Me. Try to understand these things. True scholars, who have perfect knowledge, make no qualitative difference between you and Me.

You see, dear friend, you seek to establish solid, deep, and lasting relationships with this or that person in this material world, in this case, your so-called husband, but all this is in vain, for as long as you neglect to cultivate your constitutional, original, and eternal relationship with Me, Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, you will be doomed to endless rebirth and death, and thereby to establish fleeting ties with so-called intimates, based on illusory relationships founded on the material body, and as ephemeral as it.

Hell exists; it is the lowest region of each galaxy. It is composed of a great many infernal planets.

Here are some examples of punishments on the infernal planets in Hell.

When his final hour comes, he sees the envoys of the Lord of Death approaching him, their eyes bloodshot with anger. Overcome with fear, he urinates and defecates. Just as a criminal is arrested by the police to serve his punishment, a man who has criminally indulged in sensual pleasure is seized by the Yamadutas (the servants of the Lord of Death and judge of sinners), who tie him by the neck with strong ropes and cover his subtle (ethereal) body to inflict severe punishment.

As the agents of Yamaraja (the Lord of Death and judge of sinners) lead him away, he trembles in their hands, seized with fear. All along his journey, dogs bite him, and he is reminded of the sins of his life. He experiences terrible distress.

Under a blazing sun, the criminal must travel along burning sandy paths through burning forests. His tormentors whip his back when he can no longer walk. Hunger and thirst overwhelm him, but unfortunately, this path offers neither water, nor shelter, nor a place to rest.

Along this road that leads him to Yamaraja's abode, he often falls from exhaustion, and sometimes sinks into unconsciousness, but is forced to get up. Thus, he quickly finds himself brought into Yamaraja's presence.

He must thus cover 5,766,000,000 km in two or three moments, after which he is immediately subjected to the tortures he deserves.
