When I said that the spiritual world has no physical location, what does that mean? Actually, that has to be carefully understood. See, when you say the spiritual world does not have a physical location, it does not mean that it does not have any location at all.
It does not mean that the spiritual world is simply formless. It means that there is a form, there is a location, but that’s of a different kind. It’s of a different kind.
To give an example, say a child who is watching a TV and in that TV, the child is watching a video game where there is car racing going on. In the car racing that is going on, then the child is going from one city to another city, one town to another town. Now that is going from one town to another town, but beyond that, the child is himself staying in one town.
Now that town is very different from what other towns have been depicted in the television. This town is also real and those towns may also be actual places that really exist, but they are at a different level of reality. So when we say that the spiritual world does not have a physical location, it does not mean that it does not have a location or form.
It’s just existing at a different level of reality. Like the real world a person is living in and the world that a person may be seeing in television. That person is seeing a National Geographic program.
The places they are seeing are also real. But then in the TV as they are seeing, they are not real over there. They exist somewhere else.
So the world is real. This world is real. Spiritual world is real.
But the spiritual world and the material world are not simply, not existing at the same level of reality. So they exist, the spiritual world exists at a different level of reality. But for the sake of depiction, we depict them in geographical proximity.
This is here, this is here. So just because they are not in geographical proximity does not mean that they don’t have a, spiritual world does not have a reality. It is a tangible reality.
But it is a different level of reality. That’s all it means.
