Perfect servitors of the Lord are considered His personal associates, whereas devotees endeavoring to attain perfection are called neophytes. Among the associates, some are attracted by the opulences of the Personality of Godhead, and others are attracted by nuptial love of Godhead. The former devotees are placed in the realm of Vaikuṇṭha to render reverential devotional service, whereas the latter devotees are placed in Vṛndāvana for the direct service of Śrī Kṛṣṇa.
The former devotees (those attracted by God's opulences) are placed in the realm of Vaikuntha to render reverential devotional service, whereas the latter devotees (those attracted by nuptial love) are placed in Vrndavana for the direct service of Krsna
