God is one, and the living entities there, they are all followers, obedient of God. There is no influence of time, no influence of ignorance, no influence of passion. So that is perfect. That is spiritual kingdom, the description of spiritual world. This is from Bhāgavatam.
And there are other verses in this chapter where this verse appears that there, I have read it, that there are aeroplanes also. And the devotees . . . and the woman, they are just like lightning. So it appears there are men, there are women, there are aeroplane, there are . . . everything is there. Simply difference is that there is no influence of time. Influence of time there is no—that means there is no past, future and present, and there is no death. Death is the influence of time. A old man like me is going to die. Death means the influence of time is being acted on this body. So after a few days or few years, this must vanquish. So there is no influence of time.
So there is no death, there is no birth, there is no ignorance, and everyone is obedient, everyone is happy. And their features of body is also exactly like God. In the spiritual planets, all of a sudden if you go, you cannot distinguish who is God and who is not. Yes. So . . . just like here also, when Kṛṣṇa comes, He appears just like one of us. So man is made after God. So, so far features are concerned, there is no difference between God and man. But the difference is only that God has no material body; we have got this material body subjected to the influence of time.
When Kṛṣṇa comes, He does not become old. He remains just like a boy, even when He is great-grandfather, because on His body there is no influence of time. Because His body is spiritual, therefore there is no influence of time.
- māyāra ye dui vṛtti-'māyā' āra 'pradhāna
- māyā' nimitta-hetu, viśvera upādāna 'pradhāna
- (CC Madhya 20.271)
This material energy is divided into two: pradhāna and upādāna. Pradhāna and upādāna. The whole, total material energy is called pradhāna, and the material elements are called ingredients, upādāna.
- sei puruṣa māyā-pāne kare avadhāna
- prakṛti kṣobhita kari' kare vīryera ādhāna
- (CC Madhya 20.272)
Now, in the Bhagavad-gītā you have read that mahad-yonir mahad-brahma tāsām . . . it is stated there that ahaṁ bīja-pradaḥ pitā (BG 14.4): "I implement the seeds of living entities into the matter." So in the matter the living . . . the seeds of living entities, as we are, they are impregnated.
As the father impregnates the mother, similarly, this material nature is just like mother, and therefore material nature is worshiped as mother, goddess, mother goddess, Durgā, Kālī. Yes. And this worship of the country, nationalism, that is also the same matter-worship. Yasyātma-buddhiḥ kuṇape tri-dhātuke (SB 10.84.13).
So, so long we are not enlightened, we are worshiper of this matter, energy. And when we are advanced in knowledge, then we are worshiper of the Supreme. So Kṛṣṇa consciousness means advanced stage of knowledge. It is not in the material platform. Therefore anyone who is in Kṛṣṇa consciousness appropriately and thoroughly, he is liberated from material consciousness.
