Now, being His eternal servant, I will do whatever He wants me to do, and go wherever He wants me to go. If He wants me to continue the same mission I am doing now on earth on another planet in our galaxy or another galaxy, then I will gladly go. My only desire is to love Him, to serve Him with love and devotion, to please Him, to satisfy Him, and of course to make Him happy.

The Lord says: It is the thoughts, the memories of the being at the moment of leaving the body that determine its future condition.

It is from what we think that forms are created. At the moment of death, our last thought will determine what our next existence will be and the body in which we will be reincarnated. This last thought will bring together all the thoughts we have had throughout our present existence. Our mind will then go to the ether to find what it needs to form our next body.

Throughout our present existence we are preparing our next body. As the Lord Himself says, it is our thoughts and memories, linked to our desires, that determine what our next body will be.

The spiritualists, because they act only to please Krishna, God, the Supreme Person, having only spiritual activities, will get a spiritual body. The present life serves to shape our next body.

The conscious being, the soul, always remains the same. The body is material and the true self is spiritual. It is said of one who comes to understand this truth, “that he has become aware of his true spiritual self”.

A spiritually evolved person naturally becomes aware of this different principle, because he never thinks of himself as his material body, but thinks and acts only as a spiritual being, and will always say, “I am a spiritual soul”.

In truth, human beings who possess knowledge attach little importance to the material body, whether dead or alive. This is the first realisation that sets us on the path of spiritual progress. The soul is the vital force and active principle that gives the body its beauty and life.

When death comes, which concerns only the material body, no one knows the destiny of the true self, the soul, the life force and the active principle, which continues to live even after the death of the body. The soul is eternal, the real person who inhabits the material body never dies. This is reassuring and very true.

That is why we have to turn to Krishna, God, the Supreme Person, if we do not want to leave our body not knowing where we will go next, nor in which material body we will be reincarnated.

If like me you choose to return to the kingdom of God, then you too will know where you will go when you die. For this we must :

Put Krishna, God, the Supreme Person in our mind with the help of chanting the Holy Names of the Lord, “Haré Krishna”, love Him, obey Him, do His divine will, renew the bond that unites us with Him, unite our desires and interests with His, surrender to Him, and serve Him with love and devotion.
