Chapter 37 presents a profound view of heaven, explaining that it is not a mere location but the Vairaj (the Cosmic Being) itself. This divine heavenly state is characterized by the absence of mental grief, disease, worry, sorrow, hunger, thirst, and the fear of old age or death. As described in this chapter, it is a state where the soul moves about fearlessly, free from the duality of 'do's and don'ts'. This is contrasted with a heavenly abode sought for sensual enjoyment, which the text dismisses by asking what use such a place is if it lacks the remembrance and chanting of Govinda's name.
How does this chapter describe the true nature of heaven, and how does it contrast with a place of simple enjoyment?
