knowledge emitted by the Lord Himself. Only a man who has already reached his spiritual liberation can become a virtuous being and see all living beings as his own brothers. The holy being, for his part, sees each being as a spiritual soul; and when he serves his neighbor, it is to her that he addresses himself, at the same time meeting the material and spiritual needs of his brothers.
Logos 238
The Supreme Eternal says: “The senses prevail over inert matter (the body), but superior to the senses is the mind, and intelligence surpasses the mind. Even higher than intelligence, however, is the soul”.
The senses are the various fields of action of lust. This, accumulated in the body, escapes through the exercise of the senses. The senses are therefore superior to the body, considered as a whole. However, when one develops a higher consciousness, the consciousness of God, they cease to act as “valves”. Indeed, the conscious soul of God is in direct union with the Supreme Person, the Supreme Soul, towards whom henceforth all his bodily activities are directed. By “bodily activities” is meant the activities of the senses; if it is terminated, the body then loses all active function. But even if the body is inert, the mind, always active, will continue to function, as happens in a dream. And beyond the mind is the determining intelligence; then even beyond intelligence is the soul proper. And if the soul enters into direct communion with the Absolute (God), so too will the intelligence, the mind and the senses, which are subordinate to it. The sense objects are stronger than the senses, but the mind is even stronger than the sense objects. Therefore, if the mind is constantly engaged in the sublime service of the Lord, the senses will not be able to take any other path, and it itself will no longer risk succumbing to low tendencies. The soul dominates the sense objects, the senses, the mind and the intelligence. The main thing, therefore, is to know and understand the true nature of the soul.
The right way is to use intelligence to understand the original, natural and eternal condition of the soul, and always engage one's mind with it. service of God. By doing so, we solve all the problems. Unless one strengthens in contact with the Lord, in the consciousness of God, there is always a danger of falling, for the mind is very turbulent.
Logos 239
Happy is he who is aware of his spiritual identity, for he remains constantly in the light.
