As we look at the story from Brahma-vaivarta Purana, as in OOP, on the

cowherd boy coming to the material world, we learn that a long time down

here is just a tiny moment in the spiritual world.

 

Similarly, for each one of us, from the viewpoint of the spiritual world,

our "falldown" is but a slight moment of inattention in the service of

Krishna.

 

For the material world is the sphere of *tri-kala*, time consisting of past,

present and future, whereas the spiritual realm is the sphere of *cit-kala*,

eternal, spiritual time, in which our calculations of material time don't

count, as eternity can't be subject to measurement of time in our

conditional existence.

 

As in the spiritual world the little manjari is taking her nap in a mango

grove, distracted from her service to bring lotus garlands for

Radha-Madhava, dreaming of the material world, we perceive the period of

time as *anadi-karma*, as if the state of our conditioning had lasted since

time immemorial.

 

Thus we may also understand how the spiritual body is ever-existing, not

appearing and disappearing as in the material world.
