emanate from the spiritual and absolute body of the Lord, and which compose the boundless radiance, are in no way influenced by material energy. In this world also, the Lord himself is the initial creator, for it is He who created Brahma the demiurge and first living being, by conferring on the latter the power which will enable him to carry out subsequent creations.
Logos 143
The Lord fulfills the desires of all beings according to their respective wishes. As for the holy beings, they aspire to the absolute service of the Lord.
The Lord embodies the one desire of holy beings or pure souls, and the service of love and devotion offered to God, being free from all impurity, represents the only way through which one can reach his favor.
The service of love and devotion thus accomplished has the power to confer on holy beings the highest of all blessings, direct contact with the Supreme Lord.
Devotional service is a tremendous obligation on the Lord. Pure souls then experience relentless happiness in contemplating the wonderful smiling face of the Lord and are animated with new life. Then, seeing his devotees thus quickened, the Lord Himself sees his satisfaction increase.
Logos 144
The highest degree of perfection in the matter of beneficence consists in conferring upon men immunity from the evils of the material existence.
Now, this can only be accomplished through the practice of loving and devotional service offered to the Lord. Such knowledge is incomparable. Neither the study of the science of God, nor the making of sacrifices, nor a wide distribution of charitable gifts, even if we collect them all together, can confer the immunity that devotional service provides against material suffering., or even a fraction of that immunity.
The loving and devout service offered to the Supreme Eternal liberates all who indulge in it and remains the highest degree of beneficence, for it unites the being who develops it to the Lord.
Logos 145
When the senses find their satisfaction in the Supreme Soul, the universal witness and are based in him, the Sovereign Lord, then all sufferings vanish.
