The Supreme Lord has a body, a form, but this body is not constituted by material elements; it is composed of life, eternity and spiritual bliss. Thanks to his inconceivable power, God, the Supreme Person, can appear before us in his spiritual, original form. We can easily understand what the material body is, but not the spiritual body. In the spiritual world, all beings have a spiritual body; there, there is not the slightest conception of material existence. It is only a question of giving or receiving; everything can be summed up in three words: the recipient of the service, the service itself and the servant. These three elements are completely spiritual, and that is why the spiritual world is called absolute; there is no trace of material stain there. In the spiritual world, every being is completely dedicated to the Supreme Lord and is entirely on a spiritual plane. Although we can distinguish the servant, the one who is served and the service in itself, everything is spiritual and diverse.

The Lord said: “Due to ignorance, the materialists know nothing of their true interest, of the way which allows to succeed in life; their lustful desires chain them to material enjoyment and all their projects are designed for this purpose. For the fleeting satisfaction of their senses, these individuals create a society based on envy. This state of mind makes them sink into an ocean of suffering, and in their foolishness they do not even realize”.
“I never show Myself to fools or fools; by My internal power I am veiled for them. This lost world therefore does not know Me, I the Unborn, the Imperishable.”
Life goes on from one body to another, and the acts accomplished during this life bear their fruits of suffering or pleasure in the next one, or even in this one. The being deprived of intelligence and not having the vision to discern the future, can only make enemies and fight against his fellows to ensure the satisfaction of his senses. As a result, he will have to suffer in his next life. Despite this, being like a blind man, he continues to act in this direction and thus prepares himself to experience endless suffering. We call this kind of being a fool, because he is simply wasting his time, and hears nothing of the devotional service offered to the Lord. Although ignorant, people call upon men just as blind as themselves to lead them, so that both are exposed to a miserable condition. Thus a blind man guides another blind man to the precipice.
Logos 205
The Lord says: “He who earnestly desires to return to God, to his original home, must consider the Lord's mercy Sovereign as the ultimate good and the primary goal of
