According to the text, what is the nature of heaven, and why is it considered less desirable than devotion?

📖 Chapter 37

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.
