We must abandon any attachment or link that holds us back to matter before being able to return to God, to our original home. This is why even if a holy being finds himself deeply absorbed in the affairs of this world, the Lord will create a situation favoring total detachment in his devotee. The Supreme Lord never forgets his pure devotee, even if the latter is engaged in apparently material activities, and this is why it sometimes happens that He creates a mysterious situation where the holy being is forced to renounce things. of this world. While some see it as a source of frustration, and attribute a negative influence to it, it may take a signal from the Lord. The merciful Lord sometimes confronts his pure devotee with such circumstances, in order to tear him away from the muddy ocean of material existence, and bring him back to Himself, even though outwardly it seems that the pure soul is in the grip. with some frustrations.
The holy being is always under the protection of the Lord, and in all circumstances, in success as in failure, the Lord continues to act as his supreme guide. Thus the pure servant of God accepts all conditions, even adverse ones, as a blessing from the Lord.
Logos 73
Anyone who wishes to become a companion of the Supreme Lord on one of the countless planets that inhabit the spiritual world, and more especially on Goloka V?ndavana, Krishna's own planet, God, the Supreme Person, must constantly meditate on the fact that he is distinguished from material energy, that he has no relation to it, and that he must realize his purely spiritual identity, as a spiritual entity or spiritual soul, qualitatively equal to the Supreme Soul, the Holy Spirit. The realized soul then feels truly free.
This feeling of freedom in the face of any material relationship as well as the liberation of the envelopes of dense and ethereal matter, which cover the being, leaves him free to act as the servant of the Lord even though he still lives in this world. This level of perfection is called the liberated state within the material universe itself. This is the way to end material existence. Not that we simply have to know that we are a spiritual being, but we also have to act as such. He who simply calls himself a spiritual being is an impersonalist, when he who acts as such is called a pure soul
The Lord teaches that only those who have performed acts of virtue in their past lives, and who thereby have been freed from the consequences of all wrongdoing can focus their attention on the Supreme Lord, God.
