The Spiritual Sky Is Eternal and Fearless

“ ‘Beyond the river Virajā is the spiritual nature, which is indestructible, eternal, inexhaustible and unlimited. It is the supreme abode, consisting of three fourths of the Lord’s opulences. It is known as paravyoma, the spiritual sky.’

Śrīla Prabhupāda · Śrī Caitanya Caritamrta Madhya 21.51, translation
