Logos 473
All material bodies, those of heavenly beings, those of human beings, those of animals and those of plants, are temples of God.
Krishna, God, the Supreme and Sovereign Person, in His personal, primordial, original, and absolute form, is in truth, the Absolute Truth.
The Absolute Truth embodies the Origin of All That Is. All that we perceive, even in the conditioned state, or on the material plane, emanates from this Supreme Being, who is none other than the Absolute Truth, who also created the mind, the senses and the intelligence of living beings. This means that the Absolute Truth is not itself devoid of mind, intelligence and senses, or in other words, that It is not impersonal.
The very fact that He creates implies that the Supreme Being has absolute intelligence. Thus, the Absolute Truth is the Supreme Person, endowed with spiritual and absolute mind, intelligence and senses. And when the mind, intelligence and senses of the God-distinct spiritual being become purified of material defilement, he can then know the original nature of the Absolute Truth, Krishna.
When purified, the same senses, mind and intelligence can indeed enable one to know the Absolute Truth. And the way to purify them is through devotional service, or Krishna consciousness.
Krishna, God, the Supreme Person created the mind, senses and life energy for the incarnated spiritual beings conditioned by matter to satisfy their material desires through successive transmigrations or reincarnations from one body to another, but also to liberate themselves from material conditions. In other words, the senses, the mind and the vital energy can be used for the satisfaction of the senses and the repeated passage from one body to another, or to obtain liberation, salvation.
The Vedic precepts (the Vedas, the original holy scriptures, also called “The True Gospel”) are precisely intended to enable conditioned souls to experience the pleasures of this material world according to certain regulative principles, thus giving them the opportunity to experience the higher conditions of life, and finally, once their consciousness has been purified, to regain their original position and return to their original abode, the kingdom of God.
