A Sai community should aspire to realize the 'divine heavenly state' on earth, rather than seeking a celestial realm after death. Chapter 37 redefines heaven not as a location, but as the realization of the Virat Self-form—the Cosmic Being. This state is characterized by freedom from mental grief, disease, worry, and the fear of death. It is a state of fearlessness and non-duality. The text explains that the same divine principle pervades everything, from the creator down to a blade of grass. The community's goal, therefore, is to help its members overcome the ignorance that creates a false sense of separation from Parabrahman, a delusion which Chapter 37 identifies as the cause of the endless cycle of birth and death.
According to Chapter 37, what is the ultimate spiritual state a Sai community should aspire to, and how does this relate to the concept of 'heaven'?
