According to the teachings in Chapter 37, the "divine heavenly state" is not a physical place one goes to after death, but a state of consciousness. It is identified with the Vairaj, or the Cosmic Self-form, which is free from all mental grief. This state is characterized by the complete absence of disease, worry, sorrow, hunger, thirst, and the fear of old age or death. It is a condition where there is no duality of 'do's and don'ts', and the soul can move about fearlessly. This description emphasizes that heaven is an internal experience of freedom and peace, rather than a destination for enjoying sensual pleasures.
