Bhagavad-gita As It Is Lectures

As soon as you give up this body in Kṛṣṇa consciousness, immediately you are transferred to the Kṛṣṇa planet. Immediately, although it is . . . you cannot find out where the Kṛṣṇa planet is, millions and millions and millions of miles away. But the soul's speed is so great that it can be transferred within seconds. This is the position.

During your remaining balance of life, you just become trained up how to become a perfect, pure devotee. Then as soon as you give up this body, immediately you're transferred:

tyaktvā dehaṁ punar janma
naiti mām etikaunteya
(BG 4.9)

Immediately. The soul is transferred immediately. Although it is far, far away, but the speed of soul is also very great. You . . . you can imagine, you can imagine the speed of air. The speed of air . . . the speed of mind is greater than the speed of the air. You can just experiment. You are sitting here—suppose your home is in London—you can immediately, within seconds you can transfer your mind to your London home, the speed is so great. Or if you have got a greater distance, immediately, the speed of mind is so great and the soul is still finer. The soul's speed is still greater, thousand times greater. So as it is stated in the Bhagavad-gītā:

tyaktvā dehaṁ punar janma
naiti mām eti
(BG 4.9)

As soon as you give up this body in Kṛṣṇa consciousness, immediately you are transferred to the Kṛṣṇa planet. Immediately, although it is . . . you cannot find out where the Kṛṣṇa planet is, millions and millions and millions of miles away. But the soul's speed is so great that it can be transferred within seconds. This is the position.

tyaktvā dehaṁ punar janma
naiti mām eti
(BG 4.9)

Immediately comes back. So why don't you take advantage? That is our request. If you can be transferred to Kṛṣṇaloka immediately . . .

Now you can ask, what is the advantage of Kṛṣṇaloka? The advantage is also described in the Bhagavad-gītā:

mām upetya kaunteya
duḥkhālayam aśāśvatam
nāpnuvanti mahātmānaḥ
saṁsiddhiṁ paramāṁ gatāḥ
(BG 8.15)
