He remains serene whatever the circumstances, the illusion does not affect him. He alone can disseminate the pure knowledge which he has received from God; it is only when this realization is reached that one can stop coveting what he or she does not have and weeping for what he or she have lost. He knows that the body and the mind which he acquired during his contact with matter at his birth are totally foreign to his real self, his spiritual self, and that they constitute a heavy burden for him. So he makes the best use of it by using it to cultivate the science of the soul.
Unlike the spiritual world, the material universe is a dead world, because matter is inert and only comes to life in contact with living beings, spiritual souls, integral parts of God.
Logos 240
The Supreme Eternal says: “Begin by stopping the scourge of concupiscence, the very source of sin, by regulating your senses. Crush this devastator of knowledge and spiritual realization”.
The Lord advises to begin by mastering his senses, so that he can overcome the greatest enemy, the greatest sinner, lust, which annihilates the desire for spiritual realization and destroys the knowledge of the real self. The knowledge of the individual soul and of the Supreme Soul is very secret and mysterious, for it is veiled by the external energy of God; but it is possible to pierce this knowledge, with the realization that it implies, if the Lord Himself explains it to us. Living beings are integral parts of the Lord, and therefore their sole function is to serve him. This state of consciousness is precisely the consciousness of God, which must be developed from the beginning of one's life, in order to reach its fullness and put it into action.
Concupiscence is only a distorted reflection of the love that all beings have for God. But if from the beginning of his existence man is lifted up in the consciousness of God, his natural love for the Lord cannot degenerate into lust. When the love of God degenerates in this way, it becomes very difficult to regain its natural condition. Nonetheless, the consciousness of God is so powerful, that even the late adopters of it can rekindle their love for God by observing the regulating principles of devotional service. We can therefore, at any time of our existence, or as soon as we understand the importance and urgency of it, begin to master our senses by developing the conscience of God, by serving the Lord with love and devotion., in order to transform concupiscence into love of God: such is the perfection of human life.
