The right qualities, the right attitude, the ideal behavior

When the Lord vanished from the sight of all, he did so again in his original, primordial, eternal form. He left this world in his own pure spiritual body. He did not leave his body here below as the conditioned souls generally believe. God appeared only to relieve the world of the undue burden of atheistic unbelievers, and his mission accomplished, He simply disappeared from the world view.

The pure soul always lives in the dwelling place of God, since its body is the divine temple.

The Lord says:“Living beings in all galaxies, and life after life, suffer the consequences of their own self-interested acts. Among them, some may be influenced by the contact of pure souls, and thus having developed a certain taste for devotional service, they get to participate in it. This initial desire is the seed of devotional service, and it is advised to those who have the incomparable fortune to receive this seed, to plant it in the depths of their hearts. Then, just as a seed is watered to develop, the holy being must cultivate it by listening to and chanting the Holy Names and the entertainment of the Lord. Thus nourished, the seed is gradually transformed into an ivy, and the holy being, acting as a gardener, continues to water it by the constant listening and singing of the glories of the Lord. The ivy grows so much that it crosses the entire material galaxy and enters the spiritual world, continuing its course towards the higher and higher spheres, until reaching the planet of the Supreme Lord ‘Goloka Vrindavana’. The holy gardener is thus in contact with the Lord’s abode even as he inhabits the material galaxy, thanks to the devotional service he offers by the simple act of listening to and singing his divine glories. Just as an ordinary ivy rests on a tree more powerful than it, the ivy of the devotional service, nourished by the holy being, finds refuge with the Lord and attaches itself to it. Thus fixed, it begins to bear fruit, and the gardener who cared for it can taste these fruits of love, reaching the perfection of its existence”.

Let us now stop dominating the material nature, if we no longer want to reincarnate perpetually.

The material nature is actually the external energy of Krishna, God, the Supreme Person, also called material energy. The material energy of the Lord is best known in its material aspect. It acts under the authority of God.

In truth, it is only because of his desire to dominate material nature that the spiritual soul was immersed in it. Indeed, only her desire to dominate the material nature puts her in undesirable conditions.

Material nature is the original cause of all material acts and their consequences, so let us not make the mistake of attributing authorship to men. The individual spiritual being, distinct from God incarnate in a specific material body, which each of us is in reality, is the cause of the various pleasures and sufferings he knows in this world.
