			The heavenly places of enjoyment are divided into three groups: the celestial heavenly planets, the heavenly places on earth, and the bila heavenly places, which are found in the lower regions. Among these three classes of heavenly places ''(bhauma-svarga-pada-ni)'', the heavenly places on earth are the eight varṣas other than Bhārata-varṣa. In ''Bhagavad-gītā'' ([[BG 9.21 (1972)\|BG 9.21]]) Kṛṣṇa says, ''kṣīṇe puṇye martya-lokaṁ viśanti:'' when the persons living in the heavenly planets exhaust the results of their pious activities, they return to this earth. In this way, they are elevated to the heavenly planets, and then they again fall to the earthly planets. This process is known as ''brahmāṇḍa bhramaṇa'', wandering up and down throughout the universes. Those who are intelligent—in other words, those who have not lost their intelligence—do not involve themselves in this process of wandering up and down. They take to the devotional service of the Lord so that they can ultimately penetrate the covering of this universe and enter the spiritual kingdom. Then they are situated on one of the planets known as Vaikuṇṭhaloka or, still higher. Kṛṣṇaloka (Goloka Vṛndāvana). A devotee is never caught in the process of being promoted to the heavenly planets and again coming down. Therefore Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu says:

			Among all the living entities wandering throughout the universe, one who is most fortunate comes in contact with a representative of the Supreme Personality of Godhead and thus gets the opportunity to execute devotional service. Those who are sincerely seeking the favor of Kṛṣṇa come in contact with a ''guru'', a bona fide representative of Kṛṣṇa. The Māyāvādīs indulging in mental speculation and the karmīs desiring the results of their actions cannot become gurus. A ''guru'' must be a direct representative of Kṛṣṇa who distributes the instructions of Kṛṣṇa without any change. Thus only the most fortunate persons come in contact with the ''guru''. As confirmed in the Vedic literatures, ''tad-vijñānārthaṁ'' sa ''gurum evābhigacchet'': [MU 1.2.12] one has to search out a guru to understand the affairs of the spiritual world. ''Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam'' also confirms this point. ''Tasmād guruṁ prapadyeta jijñāsuḥ śreya uttamam:'' ([[SB 11.3.21]]) one who is very interested in understanding the activities in the spiritual world must search out a ''guru''—a bona fide representative of Kṛṣṇa. From all angles of vision, therefore, the word ''guru'' is especially meant for the bona fide representative of Kṛṣṇa and no one else. ''Padma Purāṇa'' states, ''avaiṣṇavo gurur na syāt'': one who is not a Vaiṣṇava, or who is not a representative of Kṛṣṇa, cannot be a guru. Even the most qualified ''brāhmaṇa'' cannot become a ''guru'' if he is not a representative of Kṛṣṇa. ''Brāhmaṇas'' are supposed to acquire six kinds of auspicious qualifications: they become very learned scholars (paṭhana) and very qualified teachers (pāṭhana); they become expert in worshiping the Lord or the demigods (yajana), and they teach others how to execute this worship ''(yājana)''; they qualify themselves as bona fide persons to receive alms from others (pratigraha), and they distribute the wealth in charity ''(dāna)''. Yet even a ''brāhmaṇa'' possessing these qualifications cannot become a guru unless he is the representative of ''Kṛṣṇa'' (''gurur na syāt''). Vaiṣṇavaḥ śva-paco guruḥ: but a Vaiṣṇava, a bona fide representative of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Viṣṇu, can become a ''guru'', even if he is śva-paca, a member of a family of dog-eaters. Of the three divisions of heavenly planets (svarga-loka), ''bhauma-svarga'' is sometimes accepted as the tract of land in Bhārata-varṣa known as Kashmir. In this region there are certainly good facilities for material sense enjoyment, but this is not the business of a pure transcendentalist. Rūpa Gosvāmī describes the engagement of a pure transcendentalist as follows:
