Where do you want to go from this Earth planet?
„When the pure soul wants to give up the Lord's service to enjoy the
material world, Kṛṣṇa certainly gives him a chance to enter the material world.
As stated in the Prema-vivarta: kṛṣṇa-bahirmukha hañā bhoga vāñchā kare. This
is the reason the pure spirit soul falls down to the material world. Due to his
activities under the influence of the three modes of material nature, the
living entity takes different positions in different species. Sometimes he is a
demigod in the heavenly planets and sometimes a most insignificant creature in
the lower planetary systems.”
(From SB 5.14 Summary)
„If anyone has any desire to go to the moon, the sun, or any other
planet, one can attain the desired destination by following specific Vedic
principles recommended for that purpose. These are vividly described in the
fruitive activities portion of the Vedas, technically known as darśa-paurṇamāsī,
which recommends a specific worship of demigods situated on different heavenly
planets. Similarly, one can attain the pitā planets by performing a specific
yajña. Similarly, one can go to many ghostly planets and become a yakṣa, rakṣa
or piśāca. Piśāca worship is called "black arts" or "black magic."
There are many men who practice this black art, and they think that it is
spiritualism, but such activities are completely materialistic. Similarly, a
pure devotee, who worships the Supreme Personality of Godhead only, achieves
the planets of Vaikuṇṭha and Kṛṣṇaloka without a doubt. It is very easy to
understand through this important verse that if by simply worshiping the
demigods one can achieve the heavenly planets, or by worshiping the pitā
achieve the pitā planets, or by practicing the black arts achieve the ghostly
planets, why can the pure devotee not achieve the planet of Kṛṣṇa or Viṣṇu?
Unfortunately many people have no information of these sublime planets where Kṛṣṇa
and Viṣṇu live, and because they do not know of them they fall down.”
(From BG 9.25, Purport)
