Why is life on Earth considered more valuable than a life in heaven in this text?

Chapter 37 makes a strong case for the profound importance of the earth-world over the heavenly realms. It argues that one falls from heaven after their merit is exhausted, making it a temporary state of sensual enjoyment. In contrast, life on Earth, though fleeting, offers a unique opportunity for spiritual attainment. As the chapter states, a person who offers every action performed, even in a single moment, to God can attain a state of fearlessness. The earth-world is valuable because it is the place where one can find devotees of God, hear the stories of Hari and the Guru, and engage in worship, music, and dance—activities that are essential for spiritual progress and are deemed more important than the temporary pleasures of heaven.
