Many elders claim that the truth shines. What a person has from within comes outwards, either through the eyes, the tounge, the face expression, the body movment and so on. If you see closely the tiger for exampel wants a land area domination, well, their skin colour is same as their earth, that beeng therefor an exampel of the statment above.
If you see at us, both humans and animals, you will notice the same forms, thereby understanding the impersonalism of ourselves, so self realization is the only means forward escape and this is attained by many through realization of the trancedentual Krishna. One should though be cautious that one does not fall into the trap of false prestige like other yogies have by reading the vedic litterature and seeking to attain different planets through what these planets have to offer without ones inner self beeng interested in the planets quality but just for the purpose and results of attaining. One should therefore seek always to find ones true inner interests, beeng thereby happy one locates ones personal self easier.
