Liberation from Material Planets 39

planet of all, called Brahmaloka, there is still repeti-
tion of birth and death. Other planets in the universe
are full of living entities. We should not think that
we are here and that all the other planets are vacant.
From experience we can see that no place on earth
is vacant of living entities. If we dig deep down into
the earth, we find worms; if we go deep into the
water, we find aquatics; if we go into the sky, we
find so many birds. How is it possible to conclude
that other planets have no living entities? But Krsna
points out that even if we enter into those planets
where great demigods reside, we will still be subject-
ed to death. Again, Krsna repeats that upon reaching
His planet, one need not take birth again.

We should be very serious about attaining our
eternal life full of bliss and knowledge. We have for-
gotten that this is actually our aim of life, our real
self-interest. Why have we forgotten? We have simply
been entrapped by the material glitter, by skyscrap-
ers, big factories and political play, although we
know that however big we build skyscrapers, we will
not be able to live here indefinitely. We should not
spoil our energy in building mighty industries and
cities to further entrap ourselves in material nature;
rather, our energy should be used to develop Krsna
consciousness in order to attain a spiritual body
whereby we may enter into Krsna’s planet. Krsna
consciousness is not a religious formula or some
spiritual recreation; it is the most important part of
the living entity.
