desires of the living being. But, in truth, he knows no real pleasure as long as he animates such desires, for he thus obeys only the whims of his senses, but without gaining anything from it.
The perfection of desire consists in wanting to serve the Lord. The Lord rightly asks that each living being renounce all personal desires in order to cooperate with his own. To become only One with the Supreme Lord therefore consists in uniting one's desires with one's own. Such is the perfection of all desire.
The Lord stands in the heart of every living being as a Supreme Soul and thus knows the thoughts of each one; no one can therefore act without knowing it. By his superior intelligence, He gives everyone the opportunity to fully satisfy their desires, and it is again he who grants the fruits of the act.
Logos 104
The Lord said: “The most high perfection of virtuosity consists in a personal perception of my mansions”.
The highest perfection of existence consists in knowing the Lord by a direct perception of his person, which he grants by grace. Anyone who expresses the desire to engage in devotional service to the Lord will reach such a level, conforming to the revealed scriptures which are authoritative and recognized by the sages, the authentic spiritual teachers. The Divine Being in person asks us to always remain aware of Him, to be His devotee, to worship Him alone and to bow down to Him. Whoever does so will return to God, to his original home, without any doubt. The Lord further specifies that one must abandon all other occupations to surrender oneself fully to Him, and that He then grants all protection to such a devotee of his person.
The highest perfection of learning is to know him and his home without any illusions. These are the secrets which enable the attainment of the highest perfection.
Logos 105
The Lord said: “May fortune smile upon you. Tell Me your desires, for I am the one who bestows all blessings. Know nevertheless that the highest of all, and which offers itself as the fruit of all austerities, resides in the revelation of my personal form”.
To know and to see face to face the Divine Being in person, such is the highest revelation of the Supreme Truth, superior to that of the Supreme Impersonal Spiritual
