Why does the author seem to dismiss the traditional idea of heaven as a desirable goal?

πŸ“– Chapter 37

The author expresses a strong critique of pursuing the traditional abode of heaven. According to Chapter 37, this type of heaven is merely a place for sensual enjoyment and, crucially, lacks the remembrance of Lord Narayana. The text questions the value of a place where the chanting of Govinda's name is absent, suggesting its spiritual worth is null. It states that such a heaven is attained through difficult sacrifices and penance, but ultimately offers no more than sensual pleasure, which can be found in hell as well. Therefore, it is not considered a worthy spiritual aspiration.
