the Supreme Person, this is called immortality. Liberation is also breaking the chains that hold us prisoners of this material world, in order to return to the eternal kingdom of God.
Relative sufferings and joys together characterize material existence, and we find them as well on Brahmaloka, the largest and highest planet in our galaxy “the Milky Way”, than on other planets. They mark the life of celestial beings, the inhabitants of the higher planets, paradisiacal, like those of human beings and animals. Present in all beings, they simply vary in intensity and quality from one to another. Everyone must know the sufferings of birth, sickness, old age and death, just as everyone is given a certain share of happiness. Moreover, no one can increase or decrease his joys or sorrows by his own efforts, and even if he did, the fruits of his labor would remain precarious. We should not therefore dwell in vain on such fragile promises, but rather concentrate our efforts on a return to God. This is the mission of human beings.
The material existence, the one we live in this material world, is only fear. Four problems are linked to it:
We must feed, find shelter, reproduce and face fear.
It is the latter, where fear appears, that harasses us the most. Unaware of the next obstacle that will arise in front of us, we are constantly in awe. The whole material existence is a series of obstacles, and that is why the problem of fear comes up all the time. It originates from our contact with the illusory energy of the Lord, an aspect of the external energy, also called maya.

Any living being; man or animal, believes himself free to dispose of himself, while in truth no one escapes the laws of the Lord, severe laws, laws forever inviolable. It happens that criminals, by trickery, circumvent the laws of men, but never with impunity the codes of the Supreme legislator. Anyone who risks himself at the slightest deviation from the path laid out by God faces great hardship. In general, religious precepts are called the laws of the Supreme Being, the essential principle of which is invariable, that in all circumstances man obeys the will of the Sovereign Lord. No one escapes the severe laws of God, this is where we have to see the very origin of material existence. Each of those who inhabit this material world have willingly and freely exposed themselves to the risk of conditioning by matter. He has thrown himself into the trap of the laws of material nature. But the purpose of human life is
