Ordinarily, those who are not liberated, those who are conditioned still, they die. Die means they change this body and accept another material body. Another material body. But one who is liberated by understanding Krishna, one who is fully Krishna conscious, he also changes his body and he accepts immediately a spiritual body. And so long he lives, that is also spiritual body.
That is spiritual body in the (this) sense because that body is engaged in spiritual activities only. There is no material activity; therefore that is spiritual. The same example: the iron rod, although it is rod, because it has become red hot it is no longer rod; it is fire. Similarly, this material body becomes spiritualized when one is completely Krishna conscious, because he has no more activity of this material body. His actions are…
The same example, try to follow. When it has become so hot, red hot, that it is no more acting as iron rod, it is acting as fire. Similarly, and when he changes this body also, he immediately… Tyaktva deham punar janma naiti [Bg. 4.9]. Then he does not come in material body. Immediately, a spiritual body develops.
As this material body has developed from the spirit soul, on the platform of spirit soul, similarly, what is the difficulty to understand a spiritual body can also grow? There is no difficulty. So our, this material body, everyone knows that it grows or it changes from one body to another because the spirit soul is there. Similarly, one who is fully Krishna conscious, as it is said by Krishna, tyaktva deham: as soon as this body is given up, immediately, another, spiritual body is offered.
That spiritual body… Sanatana Gosvami has said that those who are being liberated from this material world, they are offered a spiritual body where Krishna-lila is going on. Krishna’s pastimes, Vrindavana-lila, or as Krishna manifested His different pastimes when He was present, that is going on eternally.
As soon as He leaves this universe, in another universe His lila becomes manifest. Krishna is born… Krishna is born here at Janmastami, and as soon as Krishna is taken to Gokula by Vasudeva, Krishna is seen in another universe, born again. Full Lecture

very interesting article – this means that no one is a karma free devotee – unless we become liberated souls we are not karma free.
A guru acharya is free because he is under the direct control of the HOLY NAME therefore SRI KRSNA makes him free.
Otherwise SRI GAURANGA MAHAPRABHU would not have said: “Know the Acharya to be as good as Myself. Never disrespect him. Never envy him or consider him an ordinary man for He is the sum total of all the demigods.” (Vayu Purana)
The Vaishnavas do not undergo birth and death like ordinary people do. They appear and disappear within this world of their own accord. In this way, sometimes we get their association and sometimes their association is withdrawn. The devotees are not subject to any worldly considerations of duty and karma. (C.B. Antya 8.173-174)
A Vaishnava does not take birth under the jurisdiction of the laws of karma. His birth and disappearance are transcendental. The wise have declared that the servants of Krishna are eternally engaged in the liberated service of the Lord and hence are free from the laws of material nature. (Hari-Bhakti-Vilaasa, 10.113, quoted from Padma Purana)
To be full of power like demigod doesn’t mean we are karma free. Only when having reached prem puman artho mahan love for God by the causeless mercy of SRI SRI GURU GAURANGA we become karma free.
Therefore keep on chanting and serving the HOLY name until the last breath as our beloved acharya HDG ACBSP been showing us by spreading that prem puman artho mahan love for god into the heart of all the fallen souls.
Therefore HE is our jagat guru eternally
