Krṣṇa, the Supreme Personality of Godhead
especially inclined to the devotees. Hearing their inquiries, Krṣṇa immediately thought that His devotees in Vṛndāvana should be informed of the spiritual sky and the Vaikuṇṭha planets therein. Within the material world, every conditioned soul is in the darkness of ignorance. This means that all conditioned souls are under the concept of this bodily existence.
Everyone is under the impression that he is of this material world, and with this concept of life, everyone is working in ignorance in different forms of life. The activities of the particular type of body are called  karma , or fruitive action. All conditioned souls under the impression of the bodily concept are working according to their particular types of body. These activities are creating their future conditional life. Because they have very little information of the spiritual world, they do not generally take to spiritual activities, which are called  bhakti-yoga . Those who successfully practice  bhakti-yoga , after giving up this present body, go directly to the spiritual world and become situated in one of the Vaikuṇṭha planets. The inhabitants of Vṛndāvana are all pure devotees. Their destination after quitting the body is Krṣṇaloka. They even surpass the Vaikuṇṭhalokas. The fact is, those who are always engaged in Krṣṇa consciousness and mature, pure devotional service are given the chance, after death, to gain Krṣṇa's association in the universes within the material world. Krṣṇa's pastimes are continually going on, either in this universe or in another universe. Just as the sun globe is passing through many places across this earthly planet, so  Krṣṇa-līlā , or the transcendental advent and pastimes of Krṣṇa, are also going on continually, either in this or another universe. The mature devotees, who have completely executed Krṣṇa consciousness, are immediately transferred to the universe where Krṣṇa is appearing. In that universe the devotees get their first opportunity to associate with Krṣṇa personally and directly. The training goes on, as we see in the Vṛndāvana  līlā  of Krṣṇa within this planet. Krṣṇa therefore revealed the actual feature of the Vaikuṇṭha planets so that the inhabitants of Vṛndāvana could know their destination.
Thus Krṣṇa showed them the eternal ever-existing spiritual sky which is unlimited and full of knowledge. Within this material world there are different gradations of forms, and according to the gradations, knowledge is proportionately manifested. For example, the knowledge in the body of a child is not as perfect as the knowledge in the body of an adult man. Everywhere there are different gradations of living entities, in aquatic animals, in the plants and trees, in the reptiles and insects, in birds and beasts and in the civilized and uncivilized human forms of life. Above the human form of life there are demigods, Cāraṇas and Siddhas on up to
