Worshippers of Garbhodakasayi Visnu are liberated with Brahma, and pure devotees of Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, immediately cross the universal envelope to enter the spiritual world.

The inhabitants of the heavenly, paradise-like planets have bodies different from those of human beings.

In truth, each planet has a particular atmosphere, and if one wishes to visit a given planet, one must necessarily adapt one's body to its specific climatic conditions.

Each planet has its own atmosphere, depending on the influence of material nature. Therefore, to stay on one or the other of them, it is necessary to acquire the type of body suited to one's chosen climate. Perhaps the inhabitants of Earth can, with suitable clothing, reach the moon, but celestial beings can travel as far as the fiery sphere of the sun. What is impossible for humans becomes easy for the inhabitants of higher planets, because their bodies are different.

The sun and the moon are counted among the Edenic, paradisiacal planets.

Is the gross material body the source of all suffering?

Awareness of the spiritual self and knowledge of God as He truly is constitute the goal of human life, but people are ignorant of this fundamental truth.

Current society is ruled by blind leaders, and the human masses themselves are also blind. We therefore have a paradoxical situation, where blind people are led by blind people.

Human beings must be able to understand the fundamental principle of knowledge: that we are all spiritual beings, distinct from our gross material bodies, distinct from each other, and distinct from God Himself, while at the same time being tiny fragments of His divine person. Once we understand this fundamental principle, we will then be able to progress to a much deeper understanding.

In truth, we are all spiritual in nature, and we currently reside in a gross material body. Each of us is, in reality, a spiritual soul enclosed in an ethereal body, itself enclosed in a material body, also called a dense matter body.

Our suffering stems from our identification with our material body, assuming, through ignorance of the truth, that we are this body. The fact that we have assumed a dense matter body now condemns us to suffering.

Thus, whether we are white, black, yellow, red, or mixed race, we must first consider how we must extract ourselves from our material body if we want to put an end to our suffering.

Each of us is, in reality, a spiritual soul that has entered a dense matter body. In our next life, we will be able to assume another body.
