still in his mother's womb, he comes out of his state of unconsciousness. He then feels the discomfort of a narrow place, and grows in it the desire to leave it.
In truth, as soon as they come out of the previous body, God's heavenly assistants take the soul and introduce it into the sperm released by the father, which will then enter the mother's egg and the two thus form a living egg, because a soul is already there. It is the soul by its presence which develops the egg, which will become thanks to it an embryo, then thanks to it a fetus and finally, always thanks to it, a complete baby's body.
From birth, the child is immediately plunged into oblivion of his true identity. He is forced to see his material body as his own being with which he wrongly identifies, and is at that moment influenced by the material energy which conditions his existence.
The entire material existence is influenced by the illusory energy of material nature which compels all beings to have a bodily conception of life. Conversely, true spiritual knowledge makes it possible to understand that “we are not the body of matter” but “a spiritual soul”, a tiny particle of the Supreme Lord, eternal like Him.
Only the consciousness of God can overcome this relentless illusory energy which is akin to Satan. Anyone who abandons himself to God and serves him with love and devotion escapes this illusory conception of existence, which obliges human beings to follow a cycle of uninterrupted birth and death.
Then we can immediately renew the bond of love with the Lord and enter his eternal kingdom.
Logos 368
Why does the Lord allow living beings to commit reprehensible actions?
En truth, Krishna, God, the Supreme Person does not desire to see anybody act in a guilty way, and as such He implores every living being through his good conscience, to abstain from sinning.
However, when someone insists on doing wrong and refuses to listen to God, the Lord gives him permission to fulfill his desires at his peril, for he will have to bear the consequences sooner or later. later, in the form of a severe sanction.
No one can do anything without the consent of the Lord, but the Lord shows such benevolence that when the embodied soul conditioned by matter and the energy of illusion persists in his unhealthy and guilty desire, He allows him to act at his own risk.
