Kṛṣṇa, or God, is all-spirit. Therefore we have to go back to Godhead means with spiritual body, not with material body. That is your highest perfection.
- mām upetya kaunteya
- duḥkhālayam aśāśvataṁ
- (BG 8.15)
That is the highest perfection. If anyone comes back to Kṛṣṇa, God, with a spiritual body, then he does not come back within this material world, which is full of miserable condition, duḥkhālayam. That is māyā. We are always in miserable condition of life, but we do not understand. This is called māyā. Just as the . . . (indistinct) . . . cats and dogs, they are animals. They are in a miserable condition of life, but it does not understand. That is animal life. A hog is eating stool and lying in filthy place, but he thinks that he is very happy. He thinks. This is called māyā. Prakṣepātmika-śakti. You are in most abominable condition of life, but still I am thinking I am very happy. This is called māyā.
