conditioned existence is due only to his forgetting of the relationship which unites him to God, the Sovereign Person; also, how could he, without the grace of the Lord, regain his service of absolute love?
It is God in person, and no other, who, in the form of the Supreme Soul, also called the Holy Spirit, “localized” [localized, for She is in the heart of all living beings], the partial representation of Krishna, governs both animate and inanimate objects. It is also present in the three phases of time, namely the past, the present and the future. Therefore, it is under his direction that the conditioned soul engages in different activities, so that in order to free itself from the three forms of suffering associated with this existence of constraint, it must surrender to Him, and to Him alone..
Having fallen inside her mother's womb, into this cavity full of blood, feces and urine, her body suffering terribly from the heat emitted by the gastric fire of her mother, the soul incarnate, impatient to leave her prison, count the months and pray: “O my Lord, when will the vile soul that I am be delivered from this incarceration?
Dear Lord, thanks to Your unspeakable mercy Here is my consciousness awakening, although I am barely nine months old. For this unmotivated favor which You have bestowed upon me, O Sovereign Lord, You the Friend of fallen souls, I see no other way to express my gratitude to You than to pray with folded hands.
L ' to be embodied in another species sees only by instinct; he only knows the pleasant or unpleasant sensory perceptions of that particular body. But now I have a body in which I can control my senses and know my destiny; I therefore pay my respectful homage to God, the Supreme Person, who blessed me by granting me this body and by the grace of whom I can contemplate it inside and out.
Subsequently, O Lord, although I am in an excruciating condition, I do not wish to leave my mother's womb and fall back into the dark well of material existence. Your external energy, called deva-maya, captures the newborn as soon as it appears, and it immediately assumes a false identity, which represents the beginning of the continuous cycle of birth and death. So, without letting myself be further disturbed, I will tear myself away from the darkness of ignorance with the help of my friend, clear consciousness. It will be enough for me to keep in my heart the lotus feet of Lord Visnu [full emanation of Krishna] so that I no longer have to enter the womb of other mothers and undergo the cycle of death and rebirth.”
Krishna, God, the Supreme Person continues:
The nine month old child feeds these desires even while still in his mother's womb. But while he praises the Lord in this way, the breath which favors childbirth propels him upside down, in order to give birth to him.
