Spiritual world means there the Supreme Lord is supreme, nobody else. And all others, they are engaged in His service. This is spiritual world. Here, in the material world, everyone is trying to be master. In the spiritual world there is no such attempt. They know the master is only God and all others, they are servants. That is the difference between material and spiritual.

Who is right?
Also why did Srila Prabhupada accept the distance between Earth and Sun a
Our Well-wisher Is Always Our Well-wisher.
A true well-wisher always has our best interest in mind, whether or not we understand his intentions. In this connection I would like to share a beautiful legend a devotee from Kazakhstan told me. It’s about Genghis Khan and his falcon, and it contains two important lessons for our spiritual life. Even today we find Genghis Khan’s legacy impressive. Wars are often motivated by the insatiable hunger for new territory and wealth, as well as by the crue
