Dominating one's passions allows one to develop awareness of God and reach the spiritual level
Supreme perfection can be achieved through the practice of loving and devotional service, which alone allows one to approach God, and can give peace to the human being. The service of love and devotion offered to God is the pinnacle of perfection.
Logos 430
The Supreme Lord says: “There is really nothing that exists outside of Me, this is what you must clearly understand.”
Yes in truth, nothing exists except God, for He is the All. Although the strength of the senses, the power only of the mind to think, feel and will, as well as the power, movements and growth of the body seem to result from different movements of the air within the body, they are not in reality only manifestations of his energy.
The vast expanse of space rests in Him. The vibrations of the ether, the thunder, the supreme sound, the omkara, as well as the various combinations of words making it possible to distinguish the things between them, are its symbolic representations.
In truth, He is All. The senses, the Master of the senses, the celestial beings, and the acquisition of knowledge which is the function of the senses, as well as the object of knowledge, He is All. The resolution of intelligence and the keen memory of living beings, it is Him.
The egotistical principle inherent in ignorance at the origin of this material universe, and the egotistic principle inherent in passion at the origin of the senses, and that inherent in virtue at the origin of the different celestial beings acting as masters in this world, it is still Him.
Always Him, the illusory energy, maya, cause of transmigration (reincarnation) perpetual of being conditioned from one form to another.
Lord Krishna, God, the Supreme Person is the original cause of all causes, just as the earth is the origin of the different species of trees, plants and other similar manifestations. As the earth is represented in everything, He is present through this entire material manifestation in the form of the Supreme Soul.
Yes, He is the sovereign cause of all causes, the eternal principle. Everything, in truth, is a manifestation of its unique energy. The three attributes and modes of influence of material nature; virtue, passion and ignorance, as well as the result of their interaction, are linked to Him through his internal power. They are not independent, because to be honest, the entire material energy rests on Him, the Supreme Soul.
