He who desires his ultimate personal interest is to cultivate friendship with people who have accepted Krishna as the Lord of their lives. There is a need to further develop an attitude of service towards all living beings, heavenly beings, human beings, animals and plants. Above all, we should try to help those who have a human form of life, and among them, especially those who accept the principles of religious behavior. Among the religious, it is above all necessary to serve the pure devotees of the Supreme Person.
One must learn to associate with the faithful devotees of the Lord by gathering with them to sing the glories of Krishna. This process is the most purifying. As the faithful devotees develop their loving friendship in this way, they experience mutual happiness and satisfaction. And by thus encouraging one another, they are able to renounce the pleasure of the material senses, which is the cause of all their suffering.
The devotees of the Lord constantly discuss among themselves the glory of the Supreme Person. Thus, they constantly remember the Lord and remind each other of his qualities and his entertainments. In this way, by their devotion to the principles of devotional service, the devotee devotees please Krishna, the Supreme Person, who takes away from them all that is ominous. Being cleansed from all obstacles, devotees awaken to the pure love of God, and therefore, even in this material world, their spiritualized bodies exhibit the symptoms of transcendent ecstasy.
Having attained the love of God, the faithful devotees sometimes cry loudly, absorbed in the thought of the infallible Lord. Sometimes they laugh, have great pleasure, speak aloud to the Lord, dance or sing. These devotees, having transcended material existence as well as conditioned life, sometimes imitate the Supreme Person by practicing his entertainment. And sometimes, reaching his personal audience, they remain peaceful and silent. Thus, learning the science of devotional service and practically engaging in the loving and devotional service of the Lord, the devotee comes to the stage of love for God. And by complete devotion to the Supreme Person, Krishna, the devotee easily overcomes the illusory energy, maya, which is extremely difficult to overcome.
Krishna, God, the Supreme Person, is the cause of creation, maintenance and of the destruction of our galaxy as of all the other galaxies of the material cosmos, but it has no previous cause. It permeates the various states of awakening, dreaming and deep unconscious sleep and also exists beyond them. By entering the body of each living being as a Supreme Soul also called the Holy Spirit, He animates the body, the senses, the airs of life and the mental activities, as well as all the subtle, (ethereal) and coarse (of dense matter) of the body begin their functions. Krishna, is God, the Supreme Person, the Supreme and Absolute Truth
Neither the soul, nor the faculties of speech, sight, intelligence, vital air or any of the senses are capable of penetrating this Supreme Truth, any more than small sparks can affect the original fire from which they are generated. Even the authoritative
