Those who descend from the heavenly planets, do so through the rain.

Lord Krishna advises us, “We must transcend these three modes of influence of the material nature (virtue, passion and ignorance), and we will then free ourselves from the cycle of birth and death. Otherwise, even if one has been elevated to a higher planetary system like Candraloka, one will have to come down from it. Once the benefit of pious activities is consumed, it will be necessary to return to this planet on the occasion of a rain fall and to be born first as grass or plant, which will be eaten by various animals, but also by human beings, then transformed into seed. This seed is introduced into a female body and the living being (the soul) is born. Those who return to earth in this way are born especially in families of high position, such as the families of wise scholars.”

Lord Krishna said of Him: «Who knows Me not to be, without beginning, the Sovereign of all worlds, this one, without illusion among men, becomes free from all sin».

Not all who try to achieve spiritual realization are, in truth, ordinary men.

They rise above millions of beings, who are not even aware of it. But among those who are trying to know their spiritual identity, the one who comes to know that Kṛiṣhṇa is God, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, the Unborn, the only possessor of all that exists, this man has really come to the highest spiritual realization, the highest spiritual achievement.

Only then, fully aware of the supreme nature of Kṛiṣhṇa, can he completely free himself from the consequences of his sins.

Whoever knows that Kṛiṣhṇa is distinct from All that is created, is immediately freed from the effects of all his sinful acts, this is the indispensable factor to know the Supreme Lord. Only devotional service to God can grant this wonderful knowledge.

Any act performed under the direction of Kṛiṣhṇa is absolute, and cannot be defiled by any material sequel, favorable or unfavorable.

Moreover, the idea of «favorable and unfavorable» in the material universe, is nothing but a mental creation, because nothing in this world is favorable. Everything bodes ill, for the very mask of matter is.

We see good only in an act of imagination, for the only true good depends on what is accomplished in spiritual consciousness, Krishna consciousness, in absolute devotion and service to the Lord. If the slightest desire motivates us to make our acts favorable, we must therefore absolutely follow the directives of the Supreme Lord,
