gradually marks each stage of our life. It is necessary to be perfectly aware that if the embodied and conditioned soul is given the human form, it is so that it attains spiritual perfection. God alone confers salvation, liberation.
True charitable action consists in putting God in the hearts and minds of our relatives, friends and all those we meet and inciting them to serve God, rather than embarking on philanthropic works under the pretext of wanting to help people in need, because these last have for only base, the interested act and in an underlying way, the calculation.
These misguided beings are totally unaware that one can better serve one's family by becoming devout of the Lord. This indeed grants special protection to the descendants and members of the family of his holy servant, even if they are atheists. Such is the goodness of the Lord that He grants all protection to the family members of His devotees, so that the holy servant does not have to worry about his family interests, even if he sometimes has to leave some of his relatives behind. to be able to engage in devotional service.
Logos 82
Beyond the confines of material creation, which we compare to a cloud in the spiritual sky, is the spiritual world, populated by countless spiritual planets called Vaiku??has. The Supreme Lord reigns over each of them
All the beings who inhabit them are liberated souls endowed with spiritual bodies enjoying the same virtues as the Lord. There, no material contamination. Everything is spiritual there, and therefore there is no object of lamentation. There is spiritual and absolute bliss everywhere, without birth, disease, old age or death.
Among all the spiritual planets there is one, supreme, by the name of Goloka Vi?ndavana, which is the abode of Krishna, God, the Person Supreme and his intimate companions.
When a great servant of God leaves this material world, there is no cause for lament, for he is destined to enter the kingdom of God.
Logos 83
The intelligent man should recognize in the Lord the original source of all energy and praise him for the graces which he confers on him. The mere fact of accepting the Lord as the supreme beneficiary of all things, which He truly is, enables one to attain the heights of perfection.
