The Pure Spiritual Science

It may be objected that by surrendering to the Supreme Lord, one will no longer be able to fulfill his other obligations. But the Lord insists:

“Don’t hesitate. Do not think that by abandoning any other form of activity your life will be incomplete, or that you will expose yourself to some failure. I will give you all protection; have no fear.”

This is the promise made by Krishna. Just as a liberated soul is not required to observe the regulatory principles given in the scriptures, so whoever duly serves Krishna does not have to bow to the rites prescribed by the Vedic supplements, the original scriptures. In other words, the devotees of God, who is none other than Krishna, are already liberated, and do not have to comply with all of the regulatory principles set out in the sections of the Vedas that deal with ritual. The Lord who ceases to worship heavenly beings is very dear to him in order to use all his energy to serve the Supreme Lord with love and devotion. And even if, by accident, he happens to commit a fault, or to breach a restriction, there is no need for him to submit to the rites prescribed for the purpose of purification. The Lord, seated in his heart, takes compassion for his devotee, and from within corrects him. Krishna, God, the Supreme Person, has a particular interest in his devotee. So He proclaims Himself that nothing will ever make it fall, because at every moment He protects it.

We must offer all our thoughts, words and actions to God.

Any action done in this world for a reason other than the pleasure of Krishna, God, the Supreme Person, has the effect of ever more chaining its author. The embodied soul thus becomes the slave of its body. We must do everything in a spirit of sacrifice for the satisfaction of God and his devotees, the only way to bring peace and prosperity to the world.

The great sages are always eager to do good to all living beings. The forgotten man does not know the way to peace and prosperity; but the wise men, who know it well, are always eager to carry out, for the benefit of men of virtue, acts which will give peace to the world. Sincere friends of all beings, they constantly commit themselves to the service of the Lord for their own good, at the risk of imposing great privations on themselves. The Lord is comparable to a large tree whose branches and leaves would be all other beings, celestial beings, human beings, perfect beings, celestial singers ... Now, when we water the root of a tree , all parties are equally nourished. Only the branches and leaves detached from the tree will not be satisfied; much more, despite all our efforts to water them, they will gradually dry out. Likewise,
