Significado

In Text 14 Lord Krishna revealed to the residents of Vrindavana His own abode, the spiritual planet of Krishnaloka. This and innumerable other Vaikuntha planets float in an infinite ocean of spiritual light called the brahmajyoti. That spiritual light is in fact the spiritual sky, which Krishna also, quite naturally, revealed to the residents of Vrindavana. For example, if we want to show the moon to a child, we say, "Look up in the sky. See the moon over there in the sky." Similarly, Lord Krishna revealed the vast spiritual sky to the residents of Vrindavana, but as emphasized in Text 14 and in the following text, 16, the actual destination of the Lord's associates was His own spiritual planet.
