When the attention of the perfect spiritualist is no longer captivated by the feats that can be accomplished supernatural powers, these manifestations of external energy, his progress towards Me knows no bounds, so much so that death no longer holds sway over him.
Instructions and advice from Krishna, God, the Supreme Person.
Krishna, God, the Supreme Person says:
Bathing in the violence of conditioned existence [conditioned by matter and the energy of illusion called maya], each of you must to understand that everything material has a beginning, a period of growth, another of stabilization, then of expansion, a decline and an end. Every material body is subject to these six conditions, and every acquisition relating to this body is also, and without any doubt, subject to final destruction.
Hence, no one should be attach to perishable things. As long as one inhabits the material body, one must act with great caution in this world. The most perfect way of life here on earth is simply to dedicate oneself to My loving service, spiritual and absolute, and to submit in good faith to the duties prescribed for each person in the scriptures according to their position. You must live honestly, according to the obligations of your position (at your social level), and make others happy in all respects. Do not father a child for the simple pleasure of the senses, simply take care of the well-being of men in general. All are born in this world because of unclean desires nurtured during their past existence, and are therefore subject to the severe laws of nature, such as birth and death, misfortune and happiness, gain and loss.. No one should be led astray by duality, but rather remain steadfast in My service, and thereby keep a balanced and content mind in all circumstances, holding everything as a gift of My Person. Thus, everyone will be able to live a happiest and most peaceful existence, even in this world. To be honest, it is a matter of being careless of the material body and of what it can produce without ever letting itself be affected by it.
One can remain fully satisfied in the pursuit of the interests of the spiritual soul, and put oneself at the service of the Supreme Soul. One should only fill his mind with Me, and only become My devotee, adore Me, offer to Me alone the homage of his respect. By this way, one will be able to cross the ocean of ignorance with great ease, and finally come back to Me. In conclusion, your entire lives must be committed to My service.
