The forms taken by the souls in these dimensions are gross, slimy, painful and full of pure fear all the time. In order to become eligible to go to any other loka—higher or lower, one has to come to Bhu loka. In all the other lokas, the time for being is fixed, after the expiry of which one returns to Bhu loka. Even Lord Vishnu, who resides in Vaikunth, which is a subtler part of Satya loka, has to descend to Bhu loka to discharge his duties towards creation. So find a guru, and make the most of the time you have, while you are in this dimension. Yoga under a guru is a journey with real experiences, not a day dreamer’s world where kathas and stories are told to you of others experiences, or where you sing, dance, listen to stories and come back, poorer in your pocket. It’s a journey into realty and it’s your individual journey.
