Men with developed consciousness, therefore, do not waste

time making excursions, real or imaginary, to the moon. Such

intelligent persons do not endeavor to achieve temporary sense

| enjoyment. Rather, they apply their conserved energy for the

| sake of spiritual cultivation. They discharge religious duties for the

satisfaction of the Supreme Lord, and not for personal sense

| enjoyment. The signs of such exceptional devotees of the Lord

| are that they are unattached to material enjoyment, contented,

| pure in heart, attached to devotional service, free from affection
for temporary things, and devoid of false ego. According Vedic
injunctions, such great personalities ultimately attain the place

| where the Supreme Personality of Godhead predominates and
where there is no death, no birth, no old age, and no disease. On

| the way to these spiritual planets, such personalities pass through
the sun-line called arcir-marga. And on the way they can see all

the planets between here and the spiritual world.a
