This is attained by them only who are fixed up in one supreme Lord without deviation. Such abode of the Lord Sri Krishna, known as Goloka Vrindaban, is not attainable by persons who are absorbed in material conceptions of life but the Pandavas being completely washed off from all material contamination attained the place in the very self-same body. #/div# #h4##span class="mw-headline" id="PURPORT"#PURPORT#/span##/h4# #div class="purport"# According to Srila Jiva Goswami a person freed from the three modes of material qualities namely goodness, passion and ignorance and situated in transcendence can reach the highest perfection of life without any change of the body. Srila Sanatan Coswami also in his Hari-bhakti-vilas says that a person whatever he may be, can attain the perfection of a twice-born Brahmin by undergoing the spiritual disciplinary actions under the guidance of a bonafide spiritual master exactly like a chemist who can turn gunmetal into gold by chemical manipulation. It is therefore, the actual guidance that matters in the process of becoming a Brahmin even without any change of body or to go back to home Godhead without any change of body. Srila Jiva Goswami remarks that the word 'His' used in this connection positively affirms this truth and there is no doubt about this factual position. The Bhagwat Geeta Essay also affirms this statement of Srila Jiva Goswami when the Lord says (B.G. 14/26) that anyone, who executes the devotional service systematically without any deviation can attain the perfection of Brahman by surpassing the contamination of the three modes of material nature and when the Brahman-perfection is still more advanced by the self-same execution of devotional service, there is no doubt at all that one can attain the Supreme spiritual planet Goloka Vrindaban without any change of body as we have already discussed in the matter of the Lord, returning in His abode without any change of body (page 931) #/div# #/div# please wait#div class="mw-parser-output"##p class="mw-empty-elt"# #h4##span class="mw-headline" id="TEXTS_47-48"#TEXTS 47-48#/span##/h4# #div class="verse"# #dl##dd#tad-dhyānodriktayā bhaktyā#/dd# #dd#viśuddha-dhiṣaṇāḥ pare#/dd# #dd#tasmin nārāyaṇa-pade#/dd# #dd#ekānta-matayo gatim#/dd##/dl# #dl##dd#avāpur duravāpāṁ te#/dd# #dd#asadbhir viṣayātmabhiḥ#/dd# #dd#vidhūta-kalmaṣā sthānaṁ#/dd# #dd#virajenātmanaiva hi#/dd##/dl# #/div# #h4##span class="mw-headline" id="SYNONYMS"#SYNONYMS#/span##/h4# #div class="synonyms"# #i##a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=tat&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#tat#/i# — that;
