One should ALWAYS be prepared for the death of the material bodily vessel.

One should ALWAYS be prepared for the death of the material bodily vessel because this can happen at any time.

There is danger at every step in the material world

However, for the jiva-soul within the material body, there is no death, only a change of material bodies if one is forced or chooses to stay in the decaying material creation.

On the other hand, if the jiva-soul chooses to get out of the decaying material creation and enter either the Vaikuntha Planets or Goloka Vrindavan, they first must find a pure devotee of the Lord who can guide them back home, back to Godhead.

Only in the Spiritual Worlds can the jiva soul manifest the full potential of their Spiritual nature and see who they really are as a PERSON.

This means the jiva soul's full "none-material identity" is revealed AS the ever youthful spiritual bodily form and personality THEY really are (known as one's Svarupa) perpetually.

The Anti-Material worlds in the Spiritual Sky, known as the Vaikuntha planets (Abodes of Narayana or Vishnu) and the central Goloka-Vrindavana realm of Lord Krishna, is where the jiva-soul's full potental as an individual bodily living person is found and expressed in full.

Such freedom is greatly restricted in the material mundane creation while the jiva soul is contained in a material bodily form

The individual bodily "real self" is perpetually (meaning no beginning and no end) is made up of for ever youthful anti-material qualities -

Sat - eternity
Chit - knowledge
Ananda - Bliss
Vigraha - Form

Only the material creation and all material bodily coverings or vessels the jiva-souls are covered by, belong to the temporary material creation of Maha-Vishnu.
