Chapter 37 redefines the concept of heaven, distinguishing it from a mere place of sensual pleasure attained after death. The true "divine heavenly state," as described in the text, is the realization of the Vairaj (the Cosmic Being) itself. This is a state free from mental grief, disease, worry, illness, and sorrow. In this state, one is not afflicted by hunger, thirst, or the fear of old age. It is a fearless existence where the soul moves freely, unburdened by the duality of 'do's and don'ts'. This profound state of being is accessible by overcoming the "nooses of death" like ignorance and hatred.
How does Chapter 37 describe the true "heavenly state" and how is it different from the common idea of heaven?
