choose the right time and place for their departure, while others will have no control over when they die. If, by accident, they leave their body at a favorable time, they will not have to continue to be born and die repeatedly, but in all other cases they are virtually guaranteed to return to this world.
The holy being does not run any risk of being reborn, whether the moment when he leaves his body is propitious or not, whether the thing happens by accident or, by a definite arrangement.
Logos 271
Material creation is akin to the formation of a cloud in the vastness of the sky, and the spirit world represents the true sky.
The material universe, where the Supreme Lord allows conditioned souls to act under its tutelage, is successively created and then annihilated in an endless cycle. Material creation is like the formation of a cloud in the immensity of the sky, and the spiritual world represents the true sky, which eternally invades the radiance which emanates from the body of God, and which is also called brahmajyoti. Somewhere in this boundless space is formed the cloud of material creation, where are placed the embodied and conditioned souls seeking to impose their will against that of the Lord, so that they give free rein to their aspirations under the tutelage of energy. external of the Lord. Just as the rainy season appears and then disappears every year at regular intervals, so it is with the creation which is successively manifested and then annihilated by the will of the Lord.
This cycle of creations and annihilations of the material world is willed by the Lord in order to allow conditioned souls to act as they please and thus create their own destiny: indeed, they are their own respective desires at the time of destruction which determine the conditions under which they will reappear.
The material manifestation, although containing innumerable galaxies, covers only a tiny part of the spiritual world. It forms like a cloud in the clear sky of the spiritual world, where the radiance of the spiritual radiance of God is spread everywhere, where the spiritual light shines everywhere.
Logos 272
All evil deeds result from ignorance, and all good deeds have virtue as their essence. Ignorance is the major cause of suffering and enslavement. It is out of ignorance that people commit many sinful acts and get bogged down in matter. The enlightened beings of true spiritual knowledge become naturally good.
