They still do not know that God, by his various energies which penetrate all the elements of matter in the material universe, controls everything. Nothing can do, happen, take place, without His having decided beforehand. Everything is subject to his sanction, to his consent.

Logos 461
We are all eternal servants or eternal handmaidens of God, this is what we were created for.
The Lord said: “When you know the truth, you will understand that all beings are an integral part of Me, that they live in Me, and belong to Me”.

All these bodies originate from forgetting the devotional service offered to the Lord.
However, this veil of illusion can be suddenly removed, if one serves the Lord with love and devotion, in the Krishna consciousness or God consciousness.
“pure knowledge” is knowing that Krishna, the Supreme Soul, is the ultimate refuge of all beings. But that they immediately find themselves outside this shelter, they fall
