difficult to know and understand him. But who surrenders to the Lord and serves him with love and devotion, does so easily. The sincere man blessed by Him gets there.

The Eternal Supreme is not the God of one community, of one people only. He is the Supreme God of all living beings, without exception, because they all form one people together. God is the God of all his wonderful creation. He reigns over men, animals, plants, everything. We will be aware of God as soon as we know his universality and the relationship that unites us to Him.

Indeed, matter can only develop when the spiritual soul animates it. A stillborn child will not develop, even if we manage to keep it in the laboratory. The body can only develop, move, live, if the soul is in contact with it. It is the spiritual soul that brings the body to life and allows it to develop.

Likewise, because the soul has senses, the material body also has senses. When the soul leaves it, the material body loses its powers of perception, and its form crumbles. So it’s the soul that has meaning and therefore form.

The soul takes on a new body, abandoning the old one that has become unusable, just the way you throw old and used clothes away and put on new ones.
