ignorance. The Lord, Visnu, full emanation of Krishna, appears in each of the galaxies, in each of these categories of beings, and manifests his sublime entertainments there for the sole purpose of making the desire to return to Him germinate in everyone's hearts., in his eternal kingdom. The Lord always preserves his original, spiritual and absolute nature; nevertheless, according to the circumstances of the time and place where He appears, He seems to assume various natures.
The spiritual soul, by virtue of being incarnated in a body of matter, human, animal or vegetable, is conditioned by matter and by the energy of illusion of the Lord. The conditioning of the soul dates back to time immemorial.
The conditioned soul, due to its prolonged contact with matter and its successive existences in this world, has developed out of habit, an instinctive tendency to want to dominate the material energy. So, when she obtains a human form, she has no awareness of the responsibility that falls to her. The human form is indeed an opportunity for it to escape the clutches of illusory matter, and the Words and Teachings of God are particularly intended to guide it towards the Supreme Lord, in his original abode. Reincarnating in an endless cycle through the different living species, 8 400,000 in total, corresponds to the imprisonment of the separate fallen, doomed soul. The human form offers him the opportunity to escape this imprisonment. Man's only concern, therefore, must be to restore his lost relationship with God. From this perspective, no one should ever be encouraged to act for the satisfaction of the senses under the pretext of performing some religious activity. Such misappropriation of human energy only results in leading society astray. Let us understand that the various forms of material pleasures can only seriously hinder the spiritual progress of men, because they will refuse to renounce material actions, which keep them prisoners of matter.
The perfection of existence cannot be reached by excessive labor, by the accumulation of wealth or by the multiplication of offspring, but only by renouncing material pleasures, pleasures of the senses, and materialism in all its forms. The first necessity for man is to realize the eternal relationship which unites him with the Lord, in order, without further delay, to surrender himself to Him.
There are two sources of satisfaction for an individual spiritual being distinct from God. Stuck in the paths of matter, he seeks it out through the pleasure of the senses, and freed from the yoke of the gunas, the attributes and modes of influence of material nature; virtue, passion and ignorance he finds in the only loving service offered to the Lord. This means that the distinct being is, by nature, made to serve, and not to be served. Illusioned by the conditions into which the external energy plunges him, he imagines himself worthy of being served, the legitimate beneficiary of the excellences of this world, but the truth is that he remains a servant: of what the senses dictate to him, such as than concupiscence, greed, anger, greed, pride, insanity and intolerance. But if he finds his senses, with the spiritual knowledge thanks to which he realizes that he is not the master of the material universe, but
