The Hamsa-guhya Prayers
SB 6.4.43
[NÄrada Muni had described that there is a bila, or hole, from which, having entered, one does not return. The HaryaÅ›vas understood the meaning of this allegory.] Hardly once has a person who has entered the lower planetary system called PÄtÄla been seen to return. Similarly, if one enters the Vaikuṇṭha-dhÄma [pratyag-dhÄma], he does not return to this material world. If there is such a place, from which, having gone, one does not return to the miserable material condition of life, what is the use of jumping like monkeys in the temporary material world and not seeing or understanding that place? What will be the profit?

SB 6.5.13
All learned men say that the five elements, eternal time, fruitive activity, the three modes of material nature, and the varieties produced by these modes are all creations of yoga-mÄyÄ. This material world is therefore extremely difficult to understand, but those who are highly learned have rejected it. May the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who is the controller of everything, be pleased with us.
