with such a way of seeing that we will satisfy the Lord. This is the spiritual and absolute position of God, the Supreme Person. It cannot be perceived by embodied souls, used to looking with material eyes and incapable of understanding that the Sovereign Lord actually exists in his kingdom, which escapes their sight. Even if a materialist could count all the atoms in the universe, he would still be unable to know God, the Supreme Person.
Individual souls, embodied and conditioned by matter may well seek for billions of years to understand God by using their speculative methods, traveling for that at the speed of the wind or the mind, but the Absolute Truth, God, will remain with them inconceivable, because no materialist can measure the extent of his unlimited existence. God exists by his own spiritual power.
Just as the objects of the senses [the forms, the flavors, the objects of touch, the smells and the sounds] cannot understand how the sense organs perceive them, the conditioned soul, although it rubs shoulders with the Supreme Soul in the body, cannot understand how the Supreme Spiritual Being, the Master of material creation, directs its senses. The individual soul and the Supreme Soul live together in the body. It is indeed the Supreme Soul which directs its senses when it seeks to enjoy the various material pleasures, but, just as the objects of the senses cannot see the senses, the conditioned soul cannot see the Supreme Soul which directs it. The conditioned soul experiences desires and the Supreme Soul grants them, but the former remains unable to see the latter. If conditioned souls cannot see their Supreme Friend who is in their own body, they must offer their respectful homage to Him.
The living being, the incarnated spiritual being, because it is spiritual in nature, can understand what relates to all material objects. He can even, once he realizes his true spiritual identity, know the Supreme Soul. However, even if he is very far advanced, he cannot fully grasp the Supreme Being, the Person of God, because He is unlimited, and He enjoys in their fullness and endlessly the six perfections; beauty, wealth, fame, knowledge, power and renunciation.
Concerning all beings, the Lord says: “All follow My way, one way or another, and according to whether they surrender to Me, in proportion I reward them”.
On all the planets of our galaxy as of all the galaxies of the material cosmos, all living beings, including the master deities, are entirely subordinate to the will of the Lord. They struggle like birds caught in a net, unable to move freely.
