Anxiety in the Spiritual World

One of many indications that the spiritual world is dynamic rather than static is the notion that crying exists there. Of course, it is not the kind of anxiety one experiences in the material world. Nonetheless, Srila Prabhupada refers to it as "anxiety." This appears in his Srimad Bhagavatam, specifically in Canto 10, Chapter, text 25: "In the spiritual world there is anxiety, there is crying, and there are other feelings similar to those of the material world, but because the reality of these feelings is in the transcendental world, of which this world is only an imitation, mother Yasoda and Rohini enjoyed them transcendentally."
