In truth, we are not of this world.
Not only is true life to be found only in the kingdom of God, for Lord Krishna is its existential source, but true happiness is also to be found in the kingdom of the Lord, for it is in contact with Krishna that we shall have it, and nowhere else.
In the absolute kingdom of God, no one is inferior or superior in the transcendental relationship with the Lord, for everything is of equal value.
If we re-establish the loving relationship with Krishna, we will be elevated to the spiritual world where we can perpetuate the sweet exchange of loving feelings with God from our hearts.
Since we are spiritual entities, spiritual souls, infinitesimal fragments of Krishna, God, the Supreme Person, we too can say, “we are not of this material world”.
That is why we can confidently say that we belong to the infinite and absolute kingdom of Krishna, where we are eternally united with the Lord in a totally spiritual relationship of love, the fruit of the perfect practice of devotional service that we offer Him. This is the glory we have with Krishna.
In truth, Krishna means “The infinitely fascinating”, but also “The greatest joy”, for the Supreme Lord is the reservoir of all pleasures. The individual spiritual being distinct from Krishna, which each of us is, is like the Lord, fully conscious, and he seeks happiness. The Lord fully enjoys eternal happiness, and if the separate being also wants to experience the same happiness, he must unite with Him, cooperate with Him, and seek His divine company.
An intimate relationship unites Lord Krishna with the spiritual souls. They must therefore re-establish the link that unites them with Krishna, in order to recover their natural, original and eternal function. It is the surrender of self and the service of love and devotion that we offer to Krishna, which unites us with Him.
Krishna, God, the Supreme Person, expands infinitely, so that His spiritual bliss is ever increasing, and all beings contribute to this infinite and absolute bliss.
The Lord enjoys everything, and we are His servants. We exist for His pleasure alone, and if we thus participate in His eternal bliss, then we will find our own happiness in it, for the Lord makes us participate in His immense and infinite joy or bliss.
The knowledge of the individual spirit soul, distinct from God, and the Supreme Soul is very secret and mysterious. But it is possible to penetrate this knowledge, through spiritual realisation, and by the grace of the Lord.
In truth, we are spiritual souls, minute fragments of the Lord, integral parts of His divine Person, and therefore our only function is to serve Him with love and devotion.
It is this state of consciousness, precisely called “Krishna consciousness”, that one must develop from the beginning of one's life, in order to reach plenitude and put it into action. Indeed, the Krishna conscious soul is in direct union with the Supreme Person, the Supreme Soul, towards whom all its activities are now directed. And if the soul enters into direct communion with Krishna, God, the Supreme and Absolute Person, the intelligence, the mind and the senses, which are subordinate to him, will also be so. Therefore, by engaging our intelligence in the search for our true spiritual nature, we discover with certainty that we are indeed the eternal servants of Krishna.
