service enjoy it fully. The Lord always shows himself equal to all beings. Nevertheless, He shows special benevolence towards His devotees, for He thus promotes the good of all beings.
The unhappy, the needy, the intelligent man and the curious mind, when they have performed acts of piety, generally begin, if they have not already done so, to worship the Lord. The others, whose existence is a series of misdeeds, cannot, whatever their position, approach the Supreme Being, for the illusory energy leads them astray. Now, when misfortune arises, the pious man has no other choice but to take refuge with the Lord, because to keep constantly in his mind the mind of the Lord is to walk on the path of the liberation of births. and repeated deaths. For those who have developed this attitude, misfortunes disappear.
In truth they are welcome, since they allow him to cultivate the remembrance of the Lord, that is to say to escape from material existence. Anyone who has taken refuge with the Lord rather than with the great authorities in spiritual matters, can obtain release without more harm than if they leaped over the water contained in the imprint left on the ground by the hoof of a calf. This one is called to live in the kingdom of the Lord, and has no place in the material universe, where new dangers await us at every step. The material cosmos is a place of danger, strewn with pitfalls and a source of constant suffering.
To surrender to God and take refuge in Him, ended all this.
Logos 379
Whatever body it resides in, the spiritual soul is the same.
As pure spirits, all spiritual souls are equal and identical, whether they reside in a body of celestial being, in a body of human being, in an animal body or in a plant body.
This is why those who are truly enlightened do not see the outward appearance of the living being, the body of matter, whether it is a celestial being, a inhabiting Edenic, paradisiacal planets, of a human being, an animal or a plant. Those who are enlightened by pure divine knowledge no longer see the body of matter with the complexion white, black, yellow, red, mestizo, or the animal or vegetable material form, but only the spiritual entity that is there. From then on they feel an equal love for all human beings without exception. They go even further, because in all the bodies of animals and plants they also see only the spiritual soul that is there, and neither do they differentiate between a human being, a man or a woman., a dog, a cat, an elephant, or an ant, they all love them equally. Through the material envelope, they see only the embodied spiritual entity that resides there.
