Why does the Sai Satcharitra seem to devalue the idea of a heavenly abode that is achieved through penance and charity?

๐Ÿ“– Chapter 37

Chapter 37 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra offers a critical perspective on the conventional desire for heaven. It questions the value of a heavenly home, even one attained through difficult sacrifices and penance, if it lacks the remembrance of the Lord, referred to as Narayana and Govinda. The text dismisses such a heaven as "merely a place for sensual enjoyment." It boldly states that there is no real difference in the sensual pleasure found in heaven or hell, ultimately concluding that a place where there is no chanting of Govinda's name is of no real use, thus prioritizing devotion over celestial rewards.
