How can we attain Shree Krishna's divine abode? Swami Mukundananda explains.
God is divine, and every action of his is divine. However, in the materially conditioned state, some people don't believe in the divinity of God, and they feel God's actions and his birth are also like that of the souls.
However, Lord Krishna says those who understand his divine nature do not have to take birth again and will attain his abode. What does that mean? Watch video to learn as Swami Mukundananda explains it in detail in Bhagavad Gita Chapter 4, verse 9.

जन्म कर्म च मे दिव्यमेवं यो वेत्ति तत्त्वत: |
त्यक्त्वा देहं पुनर्जन्म नैति मामेति सोऽर्जुन || 4.9||
janma karma cha me divyam evam yo vetti tattvatah
tyaktva deham punar janma naiti mam eti so ’rjuna
BG 4.9: Those who understand the divine nature of My birth and activities, O Arjun, upon leaving the body, do not have to take birth again, but come to My eternal abode.
If we wish to engage in devotion toward Lord Krishna, we must learn to harbor divine sentiments toward his leelas. Those commentators who give a figurative interpretation to the Mahabharat and the Bhagavad Gita, do grave injustice by destroying the basis of people’s faith in devotion toward Shree Krishna. In this verse, Shree Krishna has emphasized the need for divine sentiments toward his pastimes, for enhancing our devotion.
To develop such divine feelings, we must understand the difference between God’s actions and ours. We materially bound souls have not yet attained divine bliss, and hence the longing of our soul is not yet satiated. Thus, our actions are motivated by self-interest and the desire for personal fulfillment. However, God’s actions have no personal motive because he is perfectly satiated by the infinite bliss of his own personality. He does not need to achieve further personal bliss by performing actions. Therefore, whatever he does is for the welfare of the materially conditioned souls. Such divine actions that God performs are termed as “leelas” while the actions we perform are called “work.”
Similarly, God’s birth is also divine, and unlike ours, it does not take place from a mother’s womb.
If we can develop faith in the divinity of his pastimes and birth, then we will be able to easily engage in devotion to his personal form and attain the supreme destination.
