A very nice sputnik.

I have given this example that you have got a very nice sputnik, airplane, you can go many thousands and millions miles up. But if you don't get any shelter either in the moon planet or any other planet then you come back again. The same example. Similarly, you may become brahma-bhutah, Brahman realized, but if you simply remain in the impersonal or void... Brahma-bhutah means to make this material world null and void and you come to the another world, spiritual world. So if you cannot enter into the spiritual world, mad-bhaktim labhate param [Bg. 18.54], if you simply remain brahma-bhutah, then you will fall down. Because you are by nature seeking ananda, blissful life. So if you do not get varieties of life... Just like we want varieties in this material world. This material world is simply imitation of the spiritual world. So we are attached to the varieties; therefore we are seeking ananda. But because it is material and we are spiritual being, we cannot enjoy this ananda, material varieties fully. There are so many defects, inebrieties, and we are seeking that spiritual variety. So if you don't enter into the spiritual world with spiritual variety then you will again fall down. That is called bhakti-yoga.

Just like Krsna says yad gatva na nivartante tad dhama paramam mama [Bg. 15.6]. When you get spiritual varieties, that you can get when you enter into the spiritual world, either in the Vaikuntha world, planet or in the Goloka Vrndavana planet, there are varieties. The varieties are mentioned in the sastra.

Venum kvanantam aravinda-dalayataksam [Bs. 5.30]. Don't think that Krsna figure is the imagination of some artist or painter. No, no. These are the description in the Vedas. Venum kvanantam, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Govinda, is playing on His flute. Venum kvanantam aravinda-dalayataksam [Bs. 5.30]. And His eyes are like the petals of lotus flower. Venum kvanantam aravinda-dalayataksam barhavatamsam. There is a feather of peacock, asitambuda-sundarangam, His complexion is like black cloud but very, very beautiful. Venum kvanantam aravinda-dalayataksam barhavatamsam asitambuda-sundarangam, kandarpa-koti-kamaniya. He is so beautiful that more attractive than many, many hundreds and thousands of Cupid. Kandarpa-koti-kamaniya-visesa-sobham govindam adi-purusam tam aham bhajami [Bs. 5.30]. This is the Govinda's description. There are so many descriptions.
