Logos 477
The glories of the eternal spirit soul.
Who is the spiritual being, also called spiritual entity or spiritual soul?
The first instruction to know is that which enables us to understand that the soul is present in every material body, human, animal, vegetable, and that it transmigrates or reincarnates from one body to another. This is the beginning of spiritual knowledge.
Anyone who is not versed in this science or who is not interested in it, remains trapped in the bodily conception of existence, like the animal. Every human being must clearly know God's instructions, for only in this way can we rise to the spiritual plane, and automatically give up the illusory knowledge that makes us think, “I am the body, and everything that relates to it belongs to me.”
It is imperative that we immediately reject this animal mentality. Instead, we must learn to know everything about the spirit soul and the Supreme Being, God, which are eternally linked to each other.
The human being is, in truth, an eternal spirit soul, not the body of dense perishable matter.
Man is, in truth, a trilogy, for he is composed of a material body, an ethereal body in which the spirit soul is enclosed. It is prefigured as follows:
Material body or dense matter + ethereal body + spiritual soul.
There is only one God, Krishna, the Supreme Person, in His personal, primordial, original, infinite and absolute form.
He is the source of all that exists, and the cause of all causes. Without Krishna, God, the Supreme and Sovereign Person, nothing exists. Everything that exists has an origin, and the origin of everything is Krishna. He is the One Absolute without a second.
The Lord has an eternal, conscious, blissful body, and His spiritual energy is characterised by eternity, knowledge and bliss. In His ecstatic aspect He is the source of blissful power, in His eternal aspect He is the cause of all that exists, and in His conscious aspect He embodies supreme knowledge. He is the reservoir of all knowledge, pleasure and eternity.
The entire cosmic manifestation is but a combination of the lower and higher energies of the Lord, and the source of all these energies is Krishna, God, the Supreme Person.
