nature. The devotee of Krishna knows perfect serenity, unlike one who is quenched by a morbid thirst for the fruits of deed and material enjoyment.

One whose mind is established in Krishna and is neither disturbed nor troubled by any desire or material defect will be able, rare privilege, to serve the Lord with love and devotion for eternity.

The perfection of the existence is developed by one who only desires to serve Lord Krishna, and who takes pleasure in it real and constant.

It naturally transcends the three attributes and modes of influence of material nature; virtue, passion and ignorance, for it is found established at the higher level, that of pure virtue. The pure being, devotee of Krishna, and eternal servant of the Lord is at all times beyond their control.

In truth, when Krishna, God, the Supreme Person asks his devotee what benefit he desires, it is for the sole purpose of knowing his progress in the service of Devotion. Only those who are at the level of pure devotees of his Person can serve Krishna, for their minds are not troubled by any material desire, any greed, any lust. They are freed from matter.

The Lord specifies that a being truly established in Krishna consciousness or God consciousness, engaged in the sublime service of love and devotion offered to his Divine Person is never defiled by the attributes and modes of influence of material nature.

To avoid sinking into ignorance and perdition, the Lord gives us this judicious advice:

“Three doors open onto the hell; lust, anger and greed. Let every sane human being close them, because they lead the soul to its destruction.

Free yourself from anger, greed and concupiscence, in order to rise to the spiritual level. Concupiscence, anger and greed cross the heart with their parallel lines and hinder any progress on the spiritual path.

Peace of mind is necessary for the development of the qualities of truthfulness, cleanliness or purity, of self-control and tolerance, because, by the knowledge of the first causes and their practical application in existence, the human being is convinced of what concerns the nature of Absolute Truth [which is none other than God Himself].

Remains in satisfaction, because the holy being, always satisfied in himself, never deviates from his prescribed duty, and thus, by adhering in all circumstances to the prescribed duty, like everyone but in a privileged way, he can reach the highest perfection, the level where all desires are fulfilled”.

Even with the opulence of Indra, the king of the Edenic planets, the dissatisfied will inevitably have to transmigrate from one planet to another, without ever knowing
