As explained in Chapter 37, heaven is questioned as a worthy goal. The text states that a heavenly home attained through difficult sacrifices but lacking the remembrance of Lord Narayana is merely a place for sensual enjoyment. It argues that if there is no chanting of Govinda's name, such a place is of no use. The true heavenly state is defined not as a location, but as the Vairaj (the Cosmic Being) itself—a state free from disease, worry, fear of death, and duality, where the soul moves fearlessly. Therefore, a heaven of mere pleasure is seen as inferior to this state of divine consciousness.
According to the text, what is the nature of heaven, and why is it considered less desirable than devotion?
