Let us always remain aware of Krishna, God, the Supreme Person, and never forget the spiritual and absolute loving relationship which unites us to Him. We thus remain free from all material distress.
Anyone who wants to realize God has no other recourse than to adopt the transcendent path of Krishna consciousness or God consciousness. In truth, it is only through devotional service that one can know the spiritual and absolute form of God. Only this sublime service of love and devotion offered to Krishna makes it possible to approach him, to see him face to face, and to attract his divine favors.
It is in response to the attitude of service of his devotee that the Lord reveals himself to him (her).
Consequently, if one wants to escape the contamination of the three attributes and modes of influence of material nature; virtue, passion and ignorance, the only remedy is to continue to strictly observe the principle of Krishna consciousness, of God consciousness.
This is the perfection of existence.
The only good that we can do to all those who suffer is to bring them to an excellent level of spiritual consciousness.
The material living conditions can in no case be improved or worsened. As for material happiness, it comes by itself in due time, just like unhappiness, without our even making any effort to achieve it. Material joys and sorrows come without special effort, so we need not worry about material activities. Anyone who feels the desire to help, or is able to help others, should strive to raise human beings to the level of Krishna consciousness, the consciousness of God.
In this way everyone progresses spiritually by the grace of the Lord. We must not at any cost give up our interest in obtaining absolutely the favor of Krishna, God, the Supreme Person.
Let us understand my friends, that all bodily conceptions of pleasure are only products of the illusory energy of the Lord. It is important that we realize that everything in this material world is but the creation of illusory energy. Also, if we become aware of Krishna, God, the Supreme Person, we will eventually realize the Truth as it is, by the grace of the Lord. It is only given to holy beings to reach the perfection of existence.
As for those who take only the first steps on the path of devotional service and who, without yet being mature Fall of his position, he is nevertheless superior to the man who always devotes himself entirely to the self-interested acts of this ephemeral material world where suffering reigns.
