Sree Sree Guru Gaurangau Jayatah!
The atma requires atma for its sustenance. Anatma is that which is foreign to atma. The anatma—material body requires the five elements (earth, water, fire, air and sky) or a transformation of those five elements, foods etc., for the sustenance of the material body. The atma has no birth, no death. The physical body or anatma has birth, death and threefold afflictions.
This material world is full of suffering and distress. There exists variety in this world. As this variety is the cause of extreme suffering, there are waves of sufferings in this material world. Beyond this realm lies the existence of Viraja where there is no creation and no variety. Although it is in the realm of nescience and suffering, there are no waves of suffering. In Brahman dham there is ananda (bliss), but there are no waves of ananda. Waves of bliss do exist in Vaikuntha dham. Upon getting Narayana-bhakti, Chatuhsan, being attracted by the fragrance of the offerings of the Lotus Feet of Narayana, gave up Brahmananda and started worshipping Narayana. But, Goloka-Vrindavan is the highest blissful realm where devotees get the highest bliss by coming in contact with Sri Krishna through all kinds of delightful relationships.
