The Lord adds: “He who attains spiritual realization, knowing that he is a spiritual being, finds infinite joy in it. He never grieves, never aspires to anything. He sees all beings on an equal footing. He then gets to serve me with pure love and devotion”.

The Lord recommends us to live according to his teaching, to know the relationship that unites us to Him, to act according to this knowledge, this understanding and to reach the highest perfection of existence, «the love of God».

The Lord advises us to start according to our state of mind, and to listen to the pure knowledge of the lips of a bona fide spiritual master, or to read his books, in order to know everything about Krishna, to know how He really is, to know all his deeds and gestures, its entertainment, its sublime teaching. The message of these original scriptures must be received from the lips of a realized soul, who knows God and has seen the truth.

Thus a person can continue to live according to his state of mind and still make spiritual progress, surely and manifestly, to the point of attaining full self-awareness of Himself and Krishna, God, the Supreme Personality of Godhead.

Access to the pure love of God is the highest perfection. When love for God is established on the plane of affinity, it is described as God’s love, pure and spontaneous, the highest ecstasy that can reach the spiritual soul.

Initially, no particular relationship was established between the Supreme Lord and the devotee. But when the love of God develops, such a relationship takes shape under the sign of various spiritual feelings. The first of these sentiments results in an attitude of service, in which the Lord is perceived as the Master, and the devotee as his eternal servant.

Any personal relationship with God necessarily begins with a relationship of servant to Master and then, if necessary, develop into friendship, then parental love and finally conjugal love. Whoever establishes himself in his own relationship with Krishna, God, the Supreme Person, is in the best relationship for him.

However, an analysis of the spiritual feelings that characterize the different relationships with the Divine reveals that the neutral, passive, (most widespread on earth) relationship with the Supreme Lord is at the first level. A deeper relationship of God consists in seeing Him as His Master, then as His Friend, and even higher is the relationship by which one perceives the Lord as His child. The parental relationship is thus more evolved and of a higher quality than the Friendship relationship, but the supreme relationship between all is the one where one develops a conjugal love for the Sovereign Lord.
