Our Sai study group is discussing long-term spiritual goals. Should we be aiming for heaven?

Chapter 37 provides profound guidance on this, suggesting a community should not aim for a heavenly abode, which it describes as merely a place for sensual enjoyment from which one falls when merit is exhausted. Instead, the true goal is a state of being, the 'divine heavenly state' which is the Virat (Cosmic) Self-form. This state is free from mental grief, disease, sorrow, and the fear of death. The teachings advise against desiring a place that lacks the remembrance of the Lord, emphasizing that the earth-world holds profound importance for spiritual practice. Therefore, your group should focus on attaining this fearless state of being through devotion and service.
