soul, which is an integral part of the Supreme Lord, which resides in his Different Bodies
There are bodily differences between the various varieties of living beings, but the holy being should not distinguish between beings on this basis. He must acquire a vision of what the individual soul, what each of us is, and the Supreme Soul are both equally present in every body and in all species.
This is why we must do no harm to all living beings, humans, animals and plants, and love them all with equal love, with unconditional love. In addition, we must protect all animals and all plants, and understand that we have no enemies, and that on the spiritual plane we are all equal.
The Lord specifies: “Through the fire burning with death, I arouse a dreadful fear in anyone who draws the slightest distinction between himself and other beings because of external [bodily] differences”.
Logos 445
Here is how to purify his existence.
Men in this world have varying degrees of fortune and wealth, but as the spirit of accumulating goods is by nature, they are not always acquired through virtuous ways. This is why the original holy scriptures specify that such riches are sanctified by charitable acts towards wise scholars, priests, such as the gift of gold and cows.
A newborn baby, for example, will be purified by the cereal offering to wise scholars, priests.
Let us know that in the material world, all beings are constantly bathed in an environment which contaminates them. Everyone must therefore purify, sanctify his material existence, his goods and his person.
Material existence is purified by the bath, the daily cleansing of the body [internal and external] and by the accomplishment of the ten purifying rites [These ten uses consist of purifying sacrifices, which sanctify the human being at the various stages of his existence. The first of these takes place at the time of conception. The ceremony where the newborn child receives a name, the initiation received from an authentic spiritual master, marriage, these are other examples of these modes of purification].
Austerities, adoration of the Lord and acts of charity sanctify our goods. As for our very person, it will be purified by the study of the original holy scriptures, by the teaching and the very word of the Lord, by the relentless effort to achieve spiritual realization and the understanding of the Supreme and Absolute Truth.
