How to Live Right Now in the Spiritual World
Srila Prabhupada wonderfully describes as follows in the Krishna Book Chapter 14--Prayers Offered by Lord Brahmā to Lord Krishna:
"Whatever is attractive within the cosmic manifestation is due to Krishna. Krishna is therefore the reservoir of all pleasure. The active principle of everything is Krishna, and highly elevated transcendentalists see everything in connection with Him. In the Caitanya-caritamrita it is stated that a mahā-bhāgavata, or highly advanced devotee, sees Krishna as the active principle in all movable and immovable living entities. Therefore he sees everything within this cosmic manifestation in relation to Krishna. For the fortunate person who has taken shelter of Krishna as everything, liberation is already there. He is no longer in the material world. This is confirmed in the Bhagavad-gītā: Whoever is engaged in the devotional service of Krishna is already on the brahma-bhūta, or spiritual, platform. The very name Krishna suggests piety and liberation. Anyone who takes shelter of the lotus feet of Krishna enters the boat for crossing over the ocean of nescience. For him, this vast expanse of the material manifestation becomes as insignificant as the water in a calf’s hoofprint. Krishna is the shelter of all great souls, and He is also the shelter of the material worlds. For one who is on the platform of Krishna consciousness, Vaikuṇṭha, or the spiritual world, is not far away. He does not live within the material world, where there is danger at every step."
From these wonderful teachings of Srila Prabhupada we can derive the simply understanding that if we fully take shelter of Krishna as everything, we not be living in the material world. We will be living in the spiritual world. So we don't have to die to go back to the spiritual world. We can be living there right now simply fully taking shelter of Krishna. What could b more sublime than this?
Please accept my humble obeisances.

Your servant
My Dear Devotee,
Please accept my blessings.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
If a person is so fortunate to remember Lord Sri Krishna and/or Srimati Radharani at the time of death, upon leaving his present body he will enter the spiritual world.
I hope this meets you in the best of health and in an ecstatic mood.
