Time is a manifestation of the Lord, meant to remind us that we must surrender to Him. The Lord addresses every soul conditioned in the form of time.
The Lord says: “Whoever surrenders to Me will never again experience the problems of birth and death”.
We must therefore see time as the Sovereign Lord present before us. The living force comes directly from God, the Supreme Person, and it is quite spiritual.

Material nature is at the origin of the body and the material senses of the embodied and conditioned soul. This is well known to men of knowledge.
The soul embodied and conditioned by matter is forced to accept a particular type of body and sense, under the influence of the three gunas, the modes of influence of material nature. This body is therefore not assigned to him according to his own choice. In other words, the conditioned soul does not have the ability to choose. She is obliged to accept a given form of body according to her karma.

So, if he desires to become absorbed in the consciousness of God, a suitable body will be offered to him by the internal energy, the spiritual power of the Lord. But if he wants to satisfy his senses instead, he will get a material body. It is therefore up to him to choose to live in a spiritual body or in a material body. But once his choice is made, he will have to profit or suffer from the consequences of this choice.
Logos 166
In truth, the soul incarnated and conditioned by the matter remains as captive in the hands of the material energy, and whatever this dictates to it, the conditioned soul accomplishes it.
The soul has no responsibility, it attends the action as a simple witness, but it is nevertheless forced to act from this way because of the offense she was guilty of towards God in the framework of the eternal relationship which unites her to Him. This is why the Supreme Eternal declares that maya, his material energy, is so powerful that it is overwhelming. However, it suffices for the soul to realize that its
