From the angle of vision of time, the creation and dissolution of the material world, the expansion of Garbhodaksayi Visnu, Karanadaksayi Visnu and Ksirodaksayi Visnu, (the lila of creation); the spiritual body is something to attain.
From the angle of vision of eternal Vaikuntha and Goloka, "The spiritual body is already there, but we are now covered by this material body."[Srila Prabhupada]
These two apparently opposite concepts are both simultaneously, inconceivably, one and different, acintya bheda[a] bheda tattva.
Yet to think that the eternal servants of Krsna fall or dream that they fall from their eternal service is an aparadha not bhakti or devotion. Therefore the siddhanta must properly adjust the different angles of vision to come to the devotional conclusion. It's only common sense, otherwise the words: nitya baddha, saddha siddha etc. would not exist.
