Kṛṣṇa describes His supreme abode. It is not illuminated by the sun, the moon, fire, or electricity. It is ‘Svayam-jyoti’—self-luminous. Those who reach this place never return to the material world. This is the ‘Paraṁ Dhāma’—the ultimate destination of the soul. The material world is naturally dark; we need the sun and electricity to see. But the spiritual sky is made of the effulgence of God Himself. It is a world without shadows, without night, and without decay. It is the ‘Original Tree’ that Arjuna has been searching for. Once the soul experiences this light, the dim reflections of the material world lose all their charm. It teaches us the nature of our real home. We are currently living in a ‘power-cut’ zone, trying to find happiness through temporary lights. Kṛṣṇa is inviting us to a realm of eternal brilliance. By reaching that state of consciousness, we are permanently cured of the disease of birth and death. The goal of human life is to buy a one-way ticket to this spotless abode.
