Chapter 37 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra questions the desire for a conventional heaven attained through sacrifices and penance, describing it as merely a place for sensual enjoyment. It pointedly asks, 'Where there is no chanting of Govinda's name, what is the use of such a place?' Instead, it defines the true 'divine heavenly state' as the Vairaj (the Cosmic Being) itself. This is a state of being, the Cosmic Self-form, which is free from mental grief, disease, worry, sorrow, hunger, thirst, and the fear of death, where the soul can move about completely fearless.
According to Chapter 37, what is the true nature of heaven, and why is the conventional idea of heaven questioned?
