The Kingdom of God (Vaikuṇṭha) and the Curse of Jaya and Vijaya
वसन्ति यत्र पुरुषा: सर्वे वैकुण्ठमूर्तय: । येऽनिमित्तनिमित्तेन धर्मेणाराधयन् हरिम् ॥ १४ ॥
vasanti yatra puruṣāḥ sarve vaikuṇṭha-mūrtayaḥ ye ’nimitta-nimittena dharmeṇārādhayan harim
বৈকুণ্ঠলোকে সকল বাসিন্দাই ভগবানের সদৃশ রূপধারী। তাঁরা ইন্দ্রিয়ভোগের কামনা ছাড়া, নিষ্কাম ধর্মভক্তিতে হরির আরাধনা করেন।
The residents and the form of living in Vaikuṇṭha are described in this verse. The residents are all like the Supreme Personality of Godhead Nārāyaṇa. In the Vaikuṇṭha planets Kṛṣṇa’s plenary feature as four-handed Nārāyaṇa is the predominating Deity, and the residents of Vaikuṇṭhaloka are also four-handed, just contrary to our conception here in the material world. Nowhere in the material world do we find a human being with four hands. In Vaikuṇṭhaloka there is no occupation but the service of the Lord, and this service is not rendered with a purpose. Although every service has a particular result, the devotees never aspire for the fulfillment of their own desires; their desires are fulfilled by rendering transcendental loving service to the Lord.

To highlight that pure bhakti is not transactional; in the spiritual world, devotion to Hari is natural and selfless, not performed for worldly results.
Offer daily worship, chanting, and service as an act of love and duty to Hari—focus on sincerity and consistency rather than personal gain or recognition.
