According to Chapter 37, why is life on earth considered more valuable than a place in heaven?

The text strongly argues for the profound importance of the earth-world over the heavenly realms. As explained in Chapter 37, a place in heaven is temporary; one inevitably falls from it after their accumulated merit is exhausted. Heaven is dismissed as merely a place for sensual enjoyment, which the text equates to the pleasure a donkey finds in a dung-heap, suggesting it is of no real spiritual value. In contrast, life on earth, though fleeting, offers a unique opportunity. The Satcharitra states that by offering every action performed, even in a single moment, to God, a person can attain a place of fearlessness, which is a far greater achievement than the temporary pleasures of heaven.
