Logos 422
God is the ultimate and unique purpose of existence.
Our purpose in this world is to seek to progress in the spiritual life. In truth, one who seriously desires to progress in the spiritual life must be careful not to cling only to Krishna, God, the Supreme Person, and to no one else.
In the exercise of our spiritual journey we sometimes have to accept to engage in all kinds of material activities, but we must always remember that we are acting only for God, Krishna. If this thought remains in our mind, we are in no risk of falling victim to these material activities.
We now see how affection for animals is increasing all over the world. So even a figure as high as a holy being, having developed feelings of love for God, can fall from his position because of his attachment to an animal, in this case a fawn. Now, if a holy devotee of God could have known such a fate, what about all those who are not spiritually advanced and who attach themselves to an animal, a dog or a cat, they will surely fall.
Their affection for these animals, and even others, will force them to be reborn into like bodies, unless they appreciably increase their affection and love for the Sovereign Lord. Indeed, unless we increase our faith in God, we will become attached to a thousand other things, and this is precisely the cause of our enslavement to matter.
We must make sure that every moment of our life is exclusively devoted to the service of the Lord. This is the safest position for those who wish to return to God, to his absolute kingdom.
Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, the Golden Avatar says: I have brought the remedy to perpetual sleep in which all are plunged the beings. Please accept the Holy Name of the Lord, the song Hare Krishna, and wake up.
We all sleep in this world, so we wake up, and benefit from our human existence. Sleep actually involves the loss of true existential and spiritual knowledge. What is in the domain of the night for all beings becomes for those who have made themselves master of their senses, the time of awakening. All beings in this world of matter are under the influence or spell of the energy of illusion, the name of which is Mayan. This is why no one is really interested in the real values of life.
Deep sleep, which is called “the time factor”, keeps the conditioned soul in ignorance, in such a way may his pure conscience be lost.
The Lord advises us to always think of Him, and thus to put Him in our minds. God advises us to practice yoga, the method of the bond which unites us to Him. Perfect
